ABSTRACT:
Methods of enhancing immunoglobulin fragment yield of immunoglobulins exhibiting anomalous bands when analyzed by SDS-PAGE techniques are provided. Such yield enhancement methods include the steps of desialylating the immunoglobulin; and fragmenting the immunoglobulin produced in the desialylating step. A particular advantage of the present invention is that the fragmention step can be carried out in the presence of cysteine without decreasing the quality of the immunoglobulin fragment product. Methods of enhancing the molecular weight homogeneity of immunoglobulin or fragmented immunoglobulin exhibiting anomalous bands when analyzed by SDS-PAGE techniques are also discussed. These methods include the steps of desialylating the immunoglobulin or fragmented immunoglobulin and purifying the desialylated product.
