Abstract
The present application provides methods of purifying polypeptides having a Fc region, for example, antibodies or antibody fusions, by adsorbing the polypeptides to a Fc binding agent, such as, for example, Protein A or Protein G, followed by a wash with a divalent cation salt buffer to remove impurities and subsequent recovery of the adsorbed polypeptides. The present application also features methods of eluting the purified polypeptide as well as the incorporation of the methods within a purification train. Kits comprising components for carrying out the methods and instructions for use are also provided.
