Method of purifying polypeptides

摘要

The present invention relates to improved processes for purifying polypeptides of interest by increasing the amount of a polypeptide of interest bound to an ion- exchange matrix relative to the amount of one or more impurities bound to the ion-exchange matrix. This effect is achieved by adding a chemical compound in the process which by also binding to the ion-exchange matrix due to a change that is opposite to the change of the ion-exchangematrix,reduces the binding of impurities more than the binding of the polypeptide of interest.
