Provided herein are methods of performing chromatography with gamma-irradiated chromatography resin that include providing a chromatography column including a gamma-irradiated chromatography resin; performing a first cycle of chromatography through the column, where the cycle includes exposing the chromatography resin to a denaturing buffer; and performing at least one additional cycle of chromatography through the column. Also provided are integrated, closed or substantially closed, and continuous processes for manufacturing of a recombinant protein that include the use of at least one chromatography column including gamma-irradiated chromatography resin, where the gamma-irradiated chromatography resin is exposed to denaturing buffer during each cycle in the process, and reduced bioburden buffer is used in the process.

Sterile chromatography and manufacturing processes

Provided herein are methods of reducing bioburden of (e.g., sterilizing) a chromatography resin that include exposing a container including a composition including a chromatography resin and at least one antioxidant agent and/or chelator to a dose of gamma-irradiation sufficient to reduce the bioburden of the container and the chromatography resin, where the at least one antioxidant agent and/or chelator are present in an amount sufficient to ameliorate the loss of binding capacity of the chromatography resin after/upon exposure to the dose of gamma-irradiation. Also provided are reduced bioburden chromatography columns including the reduced bioburden chromatography resin, compositions including a chromatography resin and at least one chelator and/or antioxidant agent, methods of performing reduced bioburden column chromatography using one of these reduced bioburden chromatography columns, and integrated, closed, and continuous processes for reduced bioburden manufacturing of a purified recombinant protein.

Sterile chromatography resin and use thereof in manufacturing processes

Provided herein are methods of reducing bioburden of a chromatography resin that include exposing a container including a composition including (i) a chromatography resin and (ii) a liquid including at least on alcohol to a dose of gamma-irradiation sufficient to reduce the bioburden of the container and the chromatography resin, where the at least one alcohol are present in an amount sufficient to ameliorate the loss of binding capacity of the chromatography resin after/upon exposure to the dose of gamma-irradiation. Also provided are reduced bioburden chromatography columns including the reduced bioburden chromatography resin, compositions including a chromatography resin and a liquid including at least one alcohol, methods of performing reduced bioburden column chromatography using one of these reduced bioburden chromatography columns, and integrated, closed, and continuous processes for reduced bioburden manufacturing of a purified recombinant protein.
