Modified erythropoietin (EPO) polypeptides and other modified therapeutic polypeptides are provided. The EPO polylpeptides and other modified therapeutic polypeptides are modified to exhibit physical properties and activities that differ from the corresponding unmodified EPO polypeptides and other unmodified therapeutic polypeptides, respectively. Nucleic acid molecules encoding these polypeptides also are provided. Also provided are methods of treatment and diagnosis using the polypeptides. |
