A patent application (Publication Number: US20240002434A1) describes a method for preparing a virus-inactivated antibody solution. The method involves harvesting antibody material produced by transfected cells containing coding sequences of an antibody, subjecting the harvested material to a virus inactivation treatment using a mixture of solvent and detergent, and ensuring the harvested material is a clarified harvest. The harvested antibody material can be produced in non-human mammalian cells and may include monoclonal antibodies, including recombinant and multispecific antibodies. The specific concentrations of the solvent (TnBP) and detergents (Triton X-100, Polysorbate 80, Polysorbate 20) used in the virus inactivation treatment are outlined in the claims.

Furthermore, the patent application details a method for the production of a bulk drug substance involving various steps such as culturing host cells, harvesting the antibody-containing cell culture, subjecting the harvested material to viral inactivation, and subsequent purification processes including protein A chromatography, cation exchange chromatography, and virus nanofiltration. The final steps involve concentrating the solution, adding excipients to obtain the desired concentration, filtering the bulk drug substance, and filling it into sterile bags for freezing and storage. The concentrations of the detergents and solvents used in the viral inactivation process, as well as the specific purification steps, are clearly defined in the claims of the patent application.
