  • Methods for stabilizing lyophilized blood proteins
    Publication number: 20020146409
    Abstract: Methods for stabilizing lyophilized blood proteins, preferably fibrinogen, comprise forming a stable complex between the blood protein and hydroxypropyl-&agr;-cyclodextrin in an aqueous solution. Hydroxypropyl-&agr;-cyclodextrin is added to the blood protein in an amount sufficient to form a stable complex with the protein. The solution is lyophilized to form a lyophilized protein/hydroxypropyl-&agr;-cyclodextrin complex. The lyophilized protein/hydroxypropyl-&agr;-cyclodextrin complex is then reconsitituted.
