Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for purifying an immunoglobulin, and more particularly, to a method for purifying an immunoglobulin, which comprises: dissolving immunoglobulin-containing plasma protein fraction I+II+III or fraction II+III; adding caprylate to the solution to cause precipitation; performing dialysis and concentration after removal of the precipitate; performing anion exchange resin and ceramic cation exchange resin purification processes to effectively remove a solvent and detergent added to inactivate viruses; and performing elution while maintaining salt concentration at a constant level to maintain the immunoglobulin polymer content at a low level. According to the method for preparing the intravenous immunoglobulin according to the present invention, a precipitation step of preparing fraction II from fraction I+II+III or fraction II+III as a starting material can be omitted, and problems, including a complicated process and a low yield, which occur in the conventional preparation process employing the polyethylene glycol treatment process, can be solved by use of first sodium caprylate precipitation, anion exchange chromatography and cation exchange chromatography. In addition, when the immunoglobulin purification method according to the present invention is used, the efficiency with which impurities and thrombotic substances are removed can be increased and the immunoglobulin polymer content can be maintained, and thus a stable immunoglobulin with increased quality can be produced.
