Intracellular Trafficking and Function of a Recycling Receptor Which Prolongs the Serum Half-Life of Novel Therapeutic Proteins

Abstract

The life span of recombinant engineered proteins for therapeutic use is a critical factor in their effectiveness, ease of clinical application and cost. This project will exploit interactions with a natural receptor, which prolongs the lifespan of serum proteins, to enhance survival of therapeutic engineered proteins.
