| abstract |
The present invention provides formulations for maintaining the stability of polypeptides, in particular, therapeutic antigen-binding polypeptides such as antibodies and the like, for example, anti-Aβ antibodies. The formulations generally include an antioxidant in a sufficient amount as to inhibit by-product formation, for example, the formation of high molecular weight polypeptide aggregates, low molecular weight polypeptide degradation fragments, and mixtures thereof. The formulations of the invention optionally comprise a tonicity agent, such as mannitol, and a buffering agent or amino acid such as histidine, and thus, the formulations are suitable for several different routes of administration. |
