title: Potency stability of recombinant (Serine-17) human interferon-beta.
abstract: The antiviral activity of Escherichia coli-derived (Serine-17) human interferon-beta, formulated with human serum albumin, is stable for 2 years when lyophilized and stored under refrigeration. This product shows an Arrhenius line fit for the stability of its activity when tested at multiple isothermal temperatures (25-80 degrees C). In both isothermal and nonisothermal elevated temperature studies, increasing the level of human serum albumin in the formulation results in increased thermal stability.
