RECOMBINANT ERYTHROPOIETIN / IMMUNOGLOBULIN FUSION PROTEINS

摘要

Production and use of fusion proteins comprising erythropoietin and immunoglobulin polypeptides. The erythropoietin fusion proteins have an increased in vivo half-like, as compared to wild type erythropoietin. The frequency with which it must be administered in patients in need thereof is reduced, compared to naturally-occurring erythropoietin.
