Table II

Effect of mAb Loading on xMuLV Elution at pH 5.0 in an Amgen Study (Published as Table III in Reference 2). Both virus and mAb bind to Fractogel SO3 at pH 5.0×. MuLV elution is not significantly affected by mAb loading.

  • a Samples were analyzed using the TCID50 assay.

  • b Sensitivity of the assay was reduced in these fractions due to a reduction in the sample volume from 40 to 4 mL.
