主权项 1. A method for treating a TNFalpha-related disorder in a subject in need thereof, said method comprising the step of administering to the subject an effective amount of anti-hTNFalpha antibody crystals, wherein the antibody is an isolated human IgG antibody comprising two heavy chains each with a molecular weight of about 50 kpa, a light chain variable region (LCVR) comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, and a heavy chain variable region (HCVR) comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2, and wherein the crystals have a needle-like morphology with a length 1 of about 2-500 μm and an 1/d ratio of about 3 to 30.
