Focused peptide library screening as a route to a superior affinity ligand for antibody purification

Abstract Affinity chromatography is the linchpin of antibody downstream processing and typically relies on bacterial immunoglobulin (Ig)-binding proteins, epitomized by staphylococcal protein A-based ligands. However, such affinity ligands are fairly costly and suffer from chemical instability, lead...
