PEGylation Shields Peptides from Immune Recognition
PEGylation covers peptide surfaces with a flexible polyethylene glycol layer that blocks immune detection. This process hides epitopes from antibodies and receptors, prevents breakdown into immunogenic fragments, and boosts hydrodynamic size to evade antigen presentation. As a result, it cuts risks of anti-drug antibodies, hypersensitivity, and clinical failures seen in early peptide drugs.
