Abstract
The design of effective ultrafiltration/diafiltration processes for protein formulation requires the use of membranes with very high protein retention. The objective of this study was to examine the effects of specific buffers on the retention of a model protein (bovine serum albumin) during ultrafiltration. Albumin retention at pH 4.8 was significantly reduced in phosphate buffer compared with that in acetate, citrate, and histidine. This behavior was consistent with a small change in the effective albumin hydrodynamic diameter as determined by dynamic light scattering. The underlying conformational changes leading to this change in diameter were explored using circular dichroism spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. These results provide important insights into the factors controlling protein retention during ultrafiltration and diafiltration.
期刊介绍：
Biotechnology Progress , an official, bimonthly publication of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers and its technological community, the Society for Biological Engineering, features peer-reviewed research articles, reviews, and descriptions of emerging techniques for the development and design of new processes, products, and devices for the biotechnology, biopharmaceutical and bioprocess industries.
Widespread interest includes application of biological and engineering principles in fields such as applied cellular physiology and metabolic engineering, biocatalysis and bioreactor design, bioseparations and downstream processing, cell culture and tissue engineering, biosensors and process control, bioinformatics and systems biology, biomaterials and artificial organs, stem cell biology and genetics, and plant biology and food science. Manuscripts concerning the design of related processes, products, or devices are also encouraged. Four types of manuscripts are printed in the Journal: Research Papers, Topical or Review Papers, Letters to the Editor, and R & D Notes.
