45. A stable liquid formulation comprising a protein in an amount of at least about 80 mg/ml and a pharmaceutically acceptable acid, base and/or buffer in an amount of at least about 50 mM, so as to have either a pH of about 4.2 to about 5.3 or about 6.5 to about 12.0 and having a kinematic viscosity of about 50 cs or less.
- 74. A method of reducing the viscosity of a formulation containing high concentration of a protein comprising either lowering the pH to about 4.2 to about 5.3 or lowering the pH to about 6.5 to about 12.0.
