An IFN- β -Albumin Fusion Protein That Displays Improved Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Properties in Nonhuman Primates
1 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
The long half-life and stability of human serum albumin (HSA) make it an attractive candidate for fusion to short-lived therapeutic proteins. Albuferon (Human Genome Sciences [HGS], Inc., Rockville, MD) beta is a novel recombinant protein derived from a gene fusion of interferon-beta (IFN-beta ) and HSA. In vitro, Albuferon beta displays antiviral and antiproliferative activities and triggers the IFN-stimulated...
