We have chosen an anti-L-selectin antibody as a model protein to investigate the effects of sucrose and/or Tween 20 on protein stability during lyophilization and reconstitution. Native anti-L-selectin secondary structure is substantially retained during lyophilization in the presence of sucrose (1 or 0.125%). However, aggregation of the protein during reconstitution of lyophilized protein powders prepared without sucrose is not reduced by the presence of sucrose in the reconstitution medium. Aggregate formation upon reconstitution is completely inhibited by freeze drying the protein with sucrose and reconstituting with a 0.1% Tween 20 solution. Tween 20 (0.1%) also partially inhibits loss of native anti-L-selectin secondary structure during lyophilization. However, upon reconstitution the formulations lyophilized with Tween 20 contain the highest levels of aggregates. The presence of Tween in only the reconstitution solution appears to inhibit the transition from dimers to higher order oligomers. Potential mechanism(s) for the Tween 20 effects were investigated. However, no evidence of thermodynamic stabilization of anti-L-selectin conformation (e.g., by Tween 20 binding) could be detected. (C) 2001 Wiley-Liss Inc. and the American Pharmaceutical Association.
