Patent ID: 8536127

Claim:
A storage container for a pharmaceutical formulation of a protein, wherein said protein is a human factor VII protein, a factor VII-related polypeptide, or an activated form thereof, having an amino-terminal γ-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) domain with 9-12 Gla residues comprising: a. a wall portion and one or more closure portions not constituting part of the wall portion, the wall portion comprising an inner surface that, along with the one or more closure portions, defines an interior chamber; b. a composition in the interior chamber, the composition comprising the pharmaceutical formulation of the protein, wherein the inner surface of the wall portion comprises Type I glass as defined in the 4th edition of the European Pharmacopeia (Ph. Eur.) coated with a 1% silicone oil emulsion, and wherein the 1% silicone oil emulsion forms a coating on said Type I glass, said coating having a substantially uniform thickness of 0.005 micrometers to 10 micrometers, and wherein the coating reduces the tendency of said protein to undergo dimerization, oligomerization and/or polymerization.
