Disclosed is a freeze-dried virus formulation useful for virus stabilization and storage and a method for preparing the formulation. The lyophilized viral formulation described herein comprises a non-viral composition comprising a virus (eg, a purified virus) and an excipient. The formulation can be used, for example, to retain the infectivity or immunogenicity of the virus during storage. Provided herein are lyophilized viral formulations useful for stabilizing and storing viruses and methods for preparing the formulations. The formulation can be used, for example, to preserve the virus during storage (ie, to keep the virus infectious or immunogenic). The formulation has a low level of microparticles and is more suitable for parenteral infusion or injection. [Selection figure] None |
