Abstract: The invention provides, among other things, lyophilized compositions of high surface area that comprise a protein and that reconstitute quickly and efficiently to solution of high protein concentration with minimal formation, if any, of foam, effervescence, bubbles, turbidity, or particulates that might be deleterious. The invention also provides, among other things, methods for making the lyophilized compositions. The invention in additional aspects also provides Raman Imaging Spectrographic methods for real time analyses of polymorphs in a sample using PLS algorithms. By way of particular example, the use of the method for the analysis of mannitol polymorphs is described, and the use of the analysis to determine optimum compositions and lyophilization methods for producing lyophilates of pharmaceutical proteins having a predefined distribution of mannitol polymorphs and having the aforementioned reconstitution properties is also described.

Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to methods of producing an increase in the enrichment or recovery of preferred forms of IgG proteins. More particularly, the invention relates to subjecting preparations of such recombinant IgG proteins with a reduction/oxidation coupling reagent and optionally a chaotropic agent.

Abstract: Stabilized compositions of specific binding agents to RANKL, specific binding agents to TNF, and/or specific binding agents to IL-1R1 in containers are provided. Methods of making and using such compositions are also provided.
