Abstract
Human growth hormone was conjugated to a carrier aldolase antibody, using a novel linker by connecting a disulphide bond in growth hormone to a lysine-94 amine located on the Fab arm of the antibody. The resulting CovX body showed reduced affinity towards human growth hormone receptor, reduced cell-based activity, but improved pharmacodynamic properties. We have demonstrated that this CovX-body, given once a week, showed comparable activity as growth hormone given daily in an in vivo hypophysectomized rat model.Entities:
