This ability has been linked to detergent micelles, which are formed if the concentration of detergent molecules exceeds the critical micelle concentration (CMC). Traditionally, the CMC of detergents is determined in deionized water (ddH2O), i.e., a situation considerably different from the actual situation of biotechnological manufacturing. This study compared, for five distinct detergents, the CMC in ddH2O side-by-side with two biopharmaceutical process intermediates relevant to plasma-derived (Immunoglobulin) and cell-derived (monoclonal antibody) products, respectively. Depending on the matrix, the CMC of detergents changed by a factor of up to ~4-fold. Further, the CMC in biotechnological matrices did not correlate with antiviral potency, as Triton X-100 (TX-100) and similar detergents had comparatively higher CMCs than polysorbate-based detergents, which are known to be less potent in terms of virus inactivation. Finally, it was demonstrated that TX-100 and similar detergents also have virus-inactivating properties if applied below the CMC. Thus, the presence of detergent micelles might not be an absolute prerequisite for the disruption of virus envelopes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms24097920","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,27]],"date-time":"2023-04-27T02:50:00Z","timestamp":1682563800000},"page":"7920","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Detergent-Mediated Virus Inactivation in Biotechnological Matrices: More than Just CMC"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9910-252X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jean-Baptiste","family":"Farcet","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pharmaceutical Sciences, Baxalta Innovations GmbH, Now Part of the Takeda Group of Companies, 1221 Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8064-2489","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michael","family":"Karbiener","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Global Pathogen Safety, Takeda Manufacturing Austria AG, 1221 Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Leonhard","family":"Zelger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Global Pathogen Safety, Takeda Manufacturing Austria AG, 1221 Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Johanna","family":"Kindermann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Global Pathogen Safety, Takeda Manufacturing Austria AG, 1221 Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9970-0987","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thomas R.","family":"Kreil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Global Pathogen Safety, Takeda Manufacturing Austria AG, 1221 Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"1247","article-title":"HIV transmission to patients with hemophilia by heat-treated, donor-screened factor concentrate","volume":"142","author":"Remis","year":"1990","journal-title":"CMAJ Can.
