A PROCESS FOR THE RECOVERY OF A PEPTIDE-CONTAINING COMPOUND

摘要

A process is disclosed for the recovery of a compound, for example, a peptide-containing compound, from a solution containing contaminants through combined affinity-chromatographic purification and ultrafiltration. The process comprises contacting the solution containing the compound and impurities with a first complex of ligand bound to a carrier so as to form a second complex of the compound, the ligand and the carrier, wherein the carrier is comprised of a macromolecular solid material; subsequently splitting off of the compound from the second complex to reform the compound and first complex; and separating of the compound from the first complex. An arrangement for the recovery of a compound from such a solution containing impurities is also disclosed.
