2 : The pharmaceutical formulation of claim 1 , wherein the formulation, after storage at about 25° C. for at least 12 months, comprises:

(a) no more than 25.4% acidic variants of the anti-IL-23p19 antibody hum13B8-b;

(b) no more than 4.2% basic variants of the anti-IL-23p19 antibody hum13B8-b;

(c) no more than 2.69% high molecular weight (HMW) species of the anti-IL-23p19 antibody hum13B8-b;

(d) no more than 0.86% low molecular weight (LMW) species of the anti-IL-23p19 antibody hum13B8-b; and

(e) at least 96.2% anti-IL-23p19 antibody hum13B8-b monomers.

3 : The pharmaceutical formulation of claim 2 , wherein the percentage of acid variants and/or basic variants is measured by high performance ion exchange chromatography (HP-IEX).

4 : The pharmaceutical formulation of claim 2 , wherein the percentage of HMW species, LMW species, and/or monomers is measured by high performance size exclusion chromatography (HP-SEC).

5 : The pharmaceutical formulation of claim 1 , wherein the formulation, after storage at 5°±3° C. for at least 12 months, comprises:

(a) no more than 18.2% acidic variants of the anti-IL-23p19 antibody hum13B8-b;

(b) no more than 16.8% basic variants of the anti-IL-23p19 antibody hum13B8-b;

(c) no more than 0.84% high molecular weight (HMW) species of the anti-IL-23p19 antibody hum13B8-b; and

(d) at least 98.9% anti-IL-23p19 antibody hum13B8-b monomers.

6 : The pharmaceutical formulation of claim 5 , wherein the percentage of acid variants and/or basic variants is measured by high performance ion exchange chromatography (HP-IEX).

7 : The pharmaceutical formulation of claim 5 , wherein the percentage of HMW species and/or monomers is measured by high performance size exclusion chromatography (HP-SEC).

8 : The pharmaceutical formulation of claim 1 , wherein the formulation comprises at least 90 to 110 mg/mL anti-IL-23p19 antibody hum13B8-b.

9 : The pharmaceutical formulation of claim 8 , wherein the formulation comprises at least 100 mg/mL anti-IL-23p19 antibody hum13B8-b.

14 : The pharmaceutical formulation of claim 10 , wherein the buffer is 10 mM histidine, the surfactant is 0-0.05% (w/v) of polysorbate 80, and the tonicity adjustment agent is 7% (w/v) sucrose.

15 : The pharmaceutical formulation of claim 1 , wherein the formulation is in a pre-filled syringe or autoinjector.

16 : The pharmaceutical formulation of claim 1 , wherein the formulation is for subcutaneous administration.

17 : A pharmaceutical formulation comprising an anti-IL-23p19 antibody hum13B8-b, wherein the anti-IL-23p19 antibody hum13B8-b comprises a light chain polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 and a heavy chain polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, and wherein the formulation comprises no more than about 19.1% acidic variants of the anti-IL-23p19 antibody hum13B8-b.
