  • Publication number: 20220118103
    Abstract: A method for increasing serum half-life of a protein or peptide and decreasing immunogenicity thereof is disclosed. The method includes site-specifically binding a carrier to a protein or peptide. A protein or peptide produced by the method and the uses thereof are disclosed. The conjugate of the physiologically active protein or peptide can significantly decrease immunogenicity in the human body and thus reduce antibody production rate against the protein or peptide. Therefore, the present conjugate has advantages in that a phenomenon of reduced clinical effects of the physiologically active protein or peptide is low, and it can be effectively used in the development of long-acting formulations having a high safety against the immune response.
