Abstract
A formulation for proteins is provided that comprises a lyophilized mixture of a protein, a water-soluble etherified cellulose in an amount that upon reconstitution of the formulation will be sufficient to form a gel, and an excipient to facilitate rehydration of the gel and to maintain protein integrity during storage of the lyophilized gel product. When reconstituted to a gel, this formulation can be applied, for example, to tissue in need of treatment.
