PROCESS FOR STEPWISE ATTACHMENT OF POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL (PEG) TO A POLYPEPTIDE

PEG-IFN- beta conjugates, where a PEG moiety is covalently bound to Cys of human IFN- beta , are produced by a process of site specific PEGylation with a thiol reactive PEGylating agent. A pharmaceutical composition and a method for treating infections, tumors and autoimmune and inflammatory disease...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	PEG-IFN- beta conjugates, where a PEG moiety is covalently bound to Cys of human IFN- beta , are produced by a process of site specific PEGylation with a thiol reactive PEGylating agent. A pharmaceutical composition and a method for treating infections, tumors and autoimmune and inflammatory diseases are also provided. The invention further relates to a method for the stepwise attachment of PEG moieties in series to a polypeptide, and more particularly to IFN- beta .
