Abstract: Polypeptide conjugates with G-CSF activity comprising a polypeptide having at least one introduced lysine residue and at least one removed lysine residue compared to the sequence of human G-CSF, and which are conjugated to 2-6 polyethylene glycol moieties. The conjugates have a low in vitro bioactivity, a long in vivo half-life, a reduced receptor-mediated clearance, and provide a more rapid stimulation of production of white blood cells and neutrophils than non-conjugated recombinant human G-CSF.

Abstract: The invention relates to polypeptide conjugates comprising a polypeptide exhibiting G-CSF activity and having an amino acid sequence that differs from the amino acid sequence of human G-CSF in at least one specified introduced and/or removed amino acid residue comprising an attachment group for a non-polypeptide moiety, and having at least one non-polypeptide moiety attached to an attachment group of the polypeptide. The attachment group may e.g., be a lysine, cysteine, aspartic acid or glutamic acid residue or a glycosylation site, and the non-polypeptide moiety may e.g., be a polymer such as polyethylene glycol or an oligosaccharide. The conjugate has one or more improved properties such as increased biological half-life and reduced side effects.

Abstract: Conjugates exhibiting IL-10 activity comprising (i) a polypeptide which comprises an amino acid sequence that differs from that of human IL-10 in at least one amino acid residue selected from an introduced or removed amino acid residue comprising an attachment group for the non-polypeptide moiety of (ii), and (ii) a non-polypeptide moiety. The conjugates have increased half-life as compared to hIL-10 and may be used for treatment of, e.g., inflammatory diseases.
