Abstract

The invention provides buffered formulations of adalimumab. The formulations comprise a buffer comprising an acetate salt, mannitol, glacial acetic acid, sodium chloride, and polysorbate 80. The formulations have an acidic pH, and enhance the thermal, conformational and colloidal stability of antibodies, including the adalimumab antibody.
