Several recent studies have reported a decline in virus retention during virus challenge filtration experiments, although the mechanism(s) governing this phenomenon for different filters remains uncertain. Experiments were performed to evaluate the retention of PP7 and PR772 bacteriophage through Ultipor VF Grade DV20 virus filters during constant pressure filtration. While the larger PR772 phage was fully retained under all conditions, a 2-log decline in retention of the small PP7 phage was observed at high throughputs, even under conditions where there was no decline in filtrate flux. In addition, prefouling the membrane with an immunoglobulin G solution had no effect on phage retention. An internal polarization model was developed to describe the decline in phage retention arising from the accumulation of phage in the upper (reservoir) layer within the filter which increases the challenge to the lower (rejection) layer. Independent support for this internal polarization phenomenon was provided by confocal microscopy of fluorescently labeled phage within the membrane. The model was in good agreement with phage retention data over a wide range of phage titers, confirming that virus retention is throughput dependent and supporting current recommendations for virus retention validation studies. These results provide important insights into the factors governing virus retention by membrane filters and their dependence on the underlying structure of the virus filter membrane.

“…This asymmetry was also seen in the SEM images in Fig. 1 and in capture profiles for fluorescently-labeled bacteriophage imaged by confocal scanning laser microscopy (data not shown) [22]. Thus, when the membrane is oriented with the shiny-side down, the dextrans are able to enter the membrane pore structure more easily but are then retained within the interior of the filter, leading to a significant amount of internal concentration polarization in this orientation.…”

Biopharmaceutical products account for a large proportion of the recently developed medicinal drugs. Owing to their production in biological systems utilizing purified protein products from human blood plasma or recombinant production in cultured cells, biopharmaceuticals are at risk of virus contamination and, therefore, targeted virus removal steps are required in manufacturing processes for these products. Among several established methods for removing viruses, virus filtration has been widely adopted as the most reliable and robust method with effective clearance of a wide range of viruses. Here, we trace the history of the development of virus filters, describe the mechanism of virus removal, and explain the technical features of virus filters. Additionally, basic principles for using virus filters, including necessary user integrity tests and process validation are provided along with specific examples of current applications and new trends in their implementation.
