Popis: The development and characterization of a lyophilized dosage form for recombinant Interleukin-1 beta is described. Included in the evaluation of the drug product are accelerated and long-term stability studies utilizing a number of biophysical techniques (reverse-phase HPLC, SDS-PAGE, isoelectric focusing and ELISA). Data collected with these methods were examined for correlations with biological activity assessments provided by an in-vitro cell culture system (mouse thymocyte proliferation). Results of these studies demonstrate that a lyophilized dosage form of Interleukin-1 beta can be prepared which retains its potency for at least 1 year when stored at ambient temperature. The analytical methodology used to assess the physicochemical integrity of the protein provided a sensitive and reproducible means of predicting changes in biological activity.
