SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Technology description follows.
    Title of invention: Method for Purifying Antibodies.
    Description of Technology: This technology is a method for 
purifying a biologic composition, comprising diafiltering the biologic 
composition into a composition comprising phosphate buffered saline 
(PBS) to obtain a purified composition. The method is particularly 
useful for removing one or more impurities from the biologic 
composition, such as bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino-
tris(hydroxymethyl)methane (Bis-tris).The technology is directed to
