Abstract

Modification with PEG(poly(ethylene glycol)), so-called PEGylation, is a golden standard to increase stability of biological medicine. However, PEGylated materials cause anti-PEG antibody after first injection. Then, the anti-PEG antibody induce the accelerated blood clearance(ABC) phenomenon of subsequent dose of PEGylated materials. So far, it has been reported that anti-PEG antibody production occurs not only in experimental animals, but also in human. In addition, characteristics of anti-PEG antibody induced by one PEGylated material differ from that of anti-PEG antibody induced by other PEGylated materials. In order to preserve the merit of PEGylation technology, it is important to understand the correct characteristics of anti-PEG immune response and develop strategy for escaping the immune response. In this review, we show the characteristics, evaluation and suppression of anti-PEG antibody.
