Use of Excipients in Downstream Processing to Improve Protein Purification
Excipients are used to improve the stability of protein-based therapeutics by protecting the protein against a range of stress conditions such as temperature changes, pH changes, or agitation. Similar stresses are applied to proteins during downstream purification. Shifts in pH during Protein A…
