  • *Indicates additional unopened control vials that have been tested after storage in the same refrigerator and incubator at D8.

  • †Test concentration of 0.5 mg/mL was used for molecular weight analysis and the test concentration of 5.0 mg/mL was applied for side peak analysis.

  • D0, day 0 (start); D2, day 2; D4, day 4; D8, day 8; DLS, dynamic light scattering; MFI, micro-flow imaging; SEC, size exclusion chromatography.
