Fusion of a short peptide that binds immunoglobulin G to a recombinant protein substantially increases its plasma half-life in mice.

We explore a strategy to substantially increase the half-life of recombinant proteins by genetic fusion to FcIII, a 13-mer IgG-Fc domain binding peptide (IgGBP) originally identified by DeLano and co-workers at Genentech [DeLano WL, et al. (2000) Science 287:1279-1283]. IgGBP fusion increases the in...
