A method for filtering a protein-containing liquid containing protein at a concentration of 20 mg/mL or more and 100 mg/mL or less, the method including a prefiltration step of filtering the protein-containing liquid by a prefilter having a pore size of 0.08 &#x3bc;m to 0.25 &#x3bc;m and including a hydrophobic resin, and a virus removal step of filtering the protein-containing liquid by a virus removal membrane including a synthetic polymer, after the prefiltration step, wherein the protein-containing liquid before conducting the prefiltration step includes 0.25 g or more of a trimer or higher multimer of the proteins having an average diameter of less than 100 nm, per 1 mof the virus removal membrane.

Method for filtering protein-containing liquid

A method for purifying a biologically active substance from a solution mixture containing impurities and the biologically active substance, in which an ion exchange chromatography carrier comprising a matrix and a copolymer containing at least N-isopropylacrylamide as a monomer unit and immobilized to a surface of the matrix is used, and the solution mixture is allowed to flow through a container storing the carrier at a uniform temperature, thereby recovering the biologically active substance.

Method for purifying antibody protein

A method is disclosed for purifying an antibody monomer, comprising providing a porous membrane comprising a hydrophobic porous substrate, a hydrophilic molecular chain of a different material from that of the porous substrate, immobilized on the surface of pores of the porous substrate, and a side chain of the molecular chain, containing a nitrogen atom to which one to three alkyl groups each having two or three carbon atoms are bonded; passing an antibody solution containing antibody aggregates of dimers or higher-order multimers through the porous membrane to adsorb the antibody aggregates to the porous membrane; and recovering the purified antibody monomer in the passed solution.

Method for purification of antibody using porous membrane having amino group and alkyl group both bound to graft chain immobilized on porous substrate
