[0002] It has been well documented that properties of proteins, in particular plasma clearance and immunogenicity, can be improved by attaching hydrophilic polymers to these proteins (Kochendoerfer, G. (2003) Expert Opin Biol Ther, 3: 1253-61), (Greenwald, R. B., et al. (2003) Adv Drug Deliv Rev, 55: 217-50), (Harris, J. M., et al. (2003) Nat Rev Drug Discov, 2: 214-21). Examples of polymer-modified proteins that have been approved by the FDA for t...
