Ion-Exchange Displacement Chromatography: Scale-Up and Displacer Clearance for Recombinant Human Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor

Displacement chromatography is a viable alternative to elution chromatography, but the biotechnology industry has yet to fully exploit this technique. The authors present results of a pilot-scale ion-exchange displacement process developed for the removal of variants from recombitant human brain-derived neutrotrophic factor.

Because of toxicity concerns and a lack of relevant case studies, displacement chromatography has yet to be embraced by the biotechnology industry. This article is an example of a protein displacement process used at the pilot scale.
