  • Patent number: 9855331
    Abstract: The present invention provides, among other aspects, storage stabile aqueous formulations of immunoglobulins with histidine at a mildly acidic to neutral pH. The present invention also provides methods for stabilizing immunoglobulin compositions by formulating with histidine at a mildly acidic to neutral pH. Advantageously, the methods and formulations provided herein allow stabile aqueous compositions of immunoglobulins at mildly acidic to neutral pH useful for parenteral administration.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 20, 2014
    Date of Patent: January 2, 2018
    Assignees: Baxalta Incorporated, Baxalta GmbH
    Inventors: Harald Arno Butterweck, Bernhard Kölbl, Lucia Hofbauer, Wolfgang Teschner, Hans-Peter Schwarz
  • Patent number: 9403899
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for reducing the amidolytic and anti-complement activity (ACA) content of an immunoglobulin composition through the use of cation exchange chromatography. In a specific embodiment, the invention provides methods for reducing the Factor XI and/or Factor XIa and/or ACA content of an immunoglobulin composition by collecting the leading portion of a cation exchange eluate. The present invention also provides immunoglobulin composition having reduced levels of amidolytic activity, Factor XI, and/or Factor XIa, and/or ACA content.

  • Publication number: 20140271679
    Abstract: The present invention provides, among other aspects, methods for the manufacture of plasma-derived immunoglobulin G compositions highly enriched for anti-brain disease related protein antibodies (e.g., anti-?, anti-RAGE, and anti-?-synuclein antibodies). Advantageously, the methods provided do not affect the manufacturing processes or capabilities for producing plasma-derived IgG therapeutics. Plasma-derived IgG compositions that are highly enriched for anti-brain disease related protein antibodies (e.g., anti-?, anti-RAGE, and anti-?-synuclein antibodies), as also provided here. Methods for the treatment of brain diseases and disorders by administration of plasma-derived IgG compositions highly enriched for anti-brain disease related protein antibodies (e.g., anti-?, anti-RAGE, and anti-?-synuclein antibodies), are also provided.
