ResumoImmunoaffinity chromatography is an indispensable purification tool. However, its use has been limited by cost, purification cycle numbers, and storage requirements. Therefore, authors speculated that a possible solution to these problems could be CB.Hep-1 monoclonal antibody (mAb)-immunosorbent lyophilization. This study sought to assess the impact of the CB.Hep-1 mAb quantification by enzymelinked immunoadsorbent assay and the CB.Hep-1 mAbimmunosorbent lyophilization process for its impact on hepatitis B virus surface antigen purification for pharmaceutical use. Study results found that CB.Hep-1 mAb lyophilization did not affect mAb purity and antigen recognition capacity. CB.Hep-1 mAb-immunosorbent lyophilization did not modify volume-weight factor, infrared spectrum, particle-size distribution, particle density and viscosity, antigen adsorption capacity, antigen elution capacity, antigen recovery, antigen purity, gamma immunoglobulin (IgG) leakage, and purification cycle number. Therefore, the lyophilized CB.Hep-1 mAb and CB.Hep-1 mAb-immunosorbents can be successfully used for hepatitis B vaccine production.
