Abstract

The present invention is a process for preparing a pharmaceutical composition comprising a biologically active conjugated protein. It comprises a polyethylene glycol or a polyoxyethylated polyol conjugated to IL-2. This protein is conjugated to reduce its immunogenicity, and increase it solubility, and increase its circulating in vivo half-life.
