use of less non-reducing carbohydrate, methods for producing and reconstituting a stable freeze-dried composition, and stable freeze-dried composition.

摘要

The present invention relates to the use of a non-reducing carbohydrate or carbohydrate derivative and at least one agent which inhibits dimer formation in a freeze-dried composition comprising at least one peptide that contains a free cysteine residue, to provide a freeze-dried composition with improved long-term storage stability.
