Abstract

A dry .gamma.-globulin preparation capable of intravenous injection which is obtainable by polyethylene glycol fractionation of plasma is improved in its water-solubility and stability against increase of anticomplement activity and decrease of antibody titer by purifying the .gamma.-globulin fraction with respect to protein to render the residual polyethylene glycol substantially not detectable in its 5% W/V solution, adding 0.2 to 2 parts by weight of glucose based on 1 part of .gamma.-globulin, and lyophilizing its solution.
