Abstract

Aqueous two-phase partition systems (ATPS) will be mechanistically designed and implemented to facilitate the primary processing of crude cell culture lysates enriched with putative adenovirus gene therapy vectors. ATPS will be designed for robust performance in the face of varied qualities/quantities of feedstock biomass, and be compatible with upstream processes of cell culture and downstream operations of product fractionation, polishing and formulation. Systems will be quantitatively described, monitored and manipulated in respect of data recovered from novel analytical procedures which describe changes in phase diagrams promoted by added biomass. Performance will be critically compared with that of fluidised bed adsorption.
