Abstract

Significance: A protein modification technology has been developed in this study to overcome current problems faced by protein therapy. After being individually encapsulated in a super-hydrophilic zwitterionic gel, a therapeutic protein showed exceptional stability and long in vivo circulation half-life. More importantly, no immune response against either the protein or the polymer was observed following repeated injections. This technology will benefit patients by reducing administration frequency and mitigating adverse reactions and could allow more immunogenic proteins to enter into human therapeutic or protective applications.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
