Abstract: Disclosed is an IgG Fc fragment useful as a drug carrier. A recombinant vector expressing the IgG Fc fragment, a transformant transformed with the recombinant vector, and a method of preparing an IgG Fc fragment are disclosed. When conjugated to a certain drug, the IgG Fc fragment improves the in vivo duration of action of the drug and minimizes the in vivo activity reduction of the drug.

Abstract: Disclosed is a protein complex, comprising a physiologically active polypeptide, a dimeric protein and a non-peptidyl polymer having three functional ends (3-arm), with the linkage of both the physiologically active polypeptide and the dimeric protein to the 3-arm non-peptidyl polymer via respective covalent bonds. The protein complex guarantees the long acting activity and biostability of a physiologically active polypeptide. Having the ability to maintain the bioactivity of physiologically active polypeptides or peptides highly and to significantly improve the serum half life of the polypeptides or peptides, the protein complex can be applied to the development of sustained release formulations of various physiologically active polypeptide drugs. Also, it utilizes raw materials including the physiologically active polypeptides without significant loss, thereby increasing the production yield. Further, it can be easily purified.

Abstract: Disclosed are a protein conjugate with improved in vivo duration and stability and the use thereof. The protein conjugate includes a physiologically active polypeptide, a non-peptide polymer and an immunoglobulin Fc fragment. Since the three components are covalently linked, the protein conjugate has extended in vivo duration and enhanced stability for the physiologically active polypeptide. The protein conjugate maintains the in vivo activity at relatively high levels and remarkably increases the serum half-life for the physiologically active polypeptide, with less risk of inducing undesirable immune responses. Thus, the protein conjugate is useful for developing long-acting formulations of various polypeptide drugs.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an inducible high-expression cassette comprising a dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) promoter from which GC-rich repeat sequences are partially or entirely removed, the cassette capable of more effectively improving a gene amplification system. Also disclosed are an expression vector comprising the inducible expression cassette and optionally a gene encoding a recombinant protein of interest, an animal cell line transformed with the expression vector, and a method of mass producing and purifying a recombinant protein by culturing the transformant. The present invention enables the shortening of the time required to establish a cell line producing a recombinant protein of interest at high levels using a low concentration of a DHFR inhibitor, thereby allowing more effective production of the recombinant protein.
