Process for preparing a purified immunoglobulin preparation. The process comprises the steps of subjecting a crude immunoglobulin solution to caprylic acid treatment, removing protein aggregates and viruses from the immunoglobulin solution, subjecting the immunoglobulin solution to anion exchange chromatography in order to purify the immunoglobulin, filtering the immunoglobulin solution thus obtained on a virus-removal filter to produce an eluate containing immunoglobulin, and recovering the immunoglobulin. By combining caprylic acid treatment and precipitation with a protein precipitant the level of aggregated proteins and viruses is effectively reduced and a truly virus safe preparation is provided after filtration.
