Title:
CHEMICALLY-MODIFIED HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE CONJUGATES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005000359
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention provides a chemically modified human Growth Hormone (hGH) prepared by binding a water soluble polymer to the protein. The chemically-modified protein according to the present invention may have a much longer lasting hGH activity than that of the un­modified hGH, enabling reduced dose and scheduling opportunities.
