METHODS FOR CAPTURING VIRUS LIKE PARTICLES FROM PLANTS USING EXPANDED BED CHROMATOGRAPHY

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for capturing virus-like particles of interest from a mixture comprising the use of an expanded bed of adsorbent; suitably wherein said method comprises the steps of: (a) providing an expanded bed of adsorbent; (b) contacting the mixture with the adsorbent such that the constituents of the mixture contact the expanded bed of adsorbent; (c) optionally washing the adsorbent; and (d) optionally eluting the particle of interest from the adsorbent.
