Abstract: Disclosed is a method for the preparation of a complex in which a physiologically active polypeptide is covalently bonded to an immunoglobulin constant region via a non-peptidyl linker. The method is characterized by the employment of a reducing agent, by which conventional problems of low production yield and modification of the polypeptide can be overcome. The physiologically active polypeptide-non-peptidyl polymer-immunoglobulin constant region complex can be produced with high purity and yield as well as at low cost.
