Compositions containing ambient-temperature stable, inactivated but therapeutically active biopharmaceuticals & methods for formulation thereof

Abstract

The disclosure concerns compositions containing inactivated but therapeutically active biopharmaceuticals, and methods for formulation thereof. Biopharmaceuticals are encapsulated and immobilized in dry amorphous carbohydrate-glass and irradiated for inactivation while in the dry state. The resulting compositions provide ambient-temperature stable, therapeutically active but inactivated biopharmaceuticals for use in vaccines and other applications.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
