1. A method of preparing a pharmaceutical composition comprising a purified anti-tissue factor pathway inhibitor (anti-TFPI) antibody, wherein a content of host cell protein (HCP) in the composition is less than 10.0 ng/mg, and a content of leachable protein A (LPA) in the composition is less than 1.0 ng/mg,
wherein the anti-TFPI antibody is an IgG4 antibody,
the method comprising
(a) a step of clarifying a culture containing the anti-TFPI antibody to obtain a clarified culture, wherein the clarified culture is subjected to following (b)-(g), in this order;
(b) an affinity chromatography process at pH of 3.0 to 3.8, which further comprises the steps of:
(b-1) neutralizing an eluate, which passed through an affinity chromatography column, in the range of pH 4.0 to 6.0; and
(b-2) leaving the neutralized eluate obtained in (b-1) to stand at a temperature of 15 to 25° C. for 8 to 16 hours;
(c) a viral inactivation process;
(d) an ultrafiltration and diafiltration process;
(e) a mixed-mode chromatography process;
(f) a nano-filtration process; and
(g) a concentration process,
wherein the mixed-mode chromatography process (e) comprises performing two or more plural mixed-mode chromatography processes using different types of column resin to remove the anti-TFPI antibody in a form of polymer.
