The authors present an overview of the types of RNA-based therapeutics in existence and their optimal methods of manufacture, purification, formulation, and delivery.
Antibody fragments pose unique challenges in recovery, purification, and formulation.
In the pharmaceutical industry, ultrafiltration (UF) membranes are used extensively in the downstream purification of recombinant proteins or monoclonal antibodies. However, the fouling of membranes after a unit operation?especially when recombinant proteins or monoclonal antibodies are highly concentrated?is a common problem. Typically, normalized water permeability (NWP) of a membrane can be reduced to about 20 percent of its original permeability at the end of an ultrafiltration-diafiltration (UF-DF) operation.
