It was shown that flow through both multimodal anion exchange and anion exchange chromatography are effective tools for removal of retroviruses and, under defined conditions, also for parvoviruses. Cation exchange chromatography, when operated in bind/elute mode, hydrophobic interaction chromatography and depth filtration can also be potent for virus removal, but is less robust for parvoviruses. Despite these data provide further understanding on virus removal mechanisms by chromatography and depth filtration operations, more investigation is required for a clear understanding on the molecular mechanisms of virus removal and the relevance of different moleculeā€²s interactions including resin, virus, and product.
