Abstract: The invention provides buffered formulations of adalimumab. The formulations comprise a buffer comprising an acetate salt, mannitol, glacial acetic acid, sodium chloride, and polysorbate 80. The formulations have an acidic pH, and enhance the thermal, conformational and colloidal stability of antibodies, including the adalimumab antibody.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for preventing oxidative damage to proteins, particularly antibodies, are provided. The compositions include a combination of metal chelators, such as DTPA, EGTA, and/or DEF, and can further include one or more free radical scavengers, particularly scavengers of oxygen radicals. Methods for enhancing protein stability using the compositions of the invention are also disclosed.

Abstract: Gel formulations containing polypeptide growth factors having human mitogenic or angiogenic activity are provided. The gel formulations are useful for topical or incisional wound healing for cutaneous wounds, particularly in the anterior chamber of the eye. The gel formulations also comprise a water soluble, pharmaceutically or ophthalmically compatible polymeric material for providing viscosity within various ranges determined by the application of the gel. The gel formulations provide controlled release and increased contact time of the growth factor to the wound site.
