Children treated with authentic human growth hormone (Genotropin) in clinical trials between 1985 and 1989 were tested for the presence of anti-hGH antibodies. The incidence of antibodies after 12 months of treatment was 4/373 (1.1%). Mean binding capacity was 0.07 mg/l. The results suggest that Genotropin has low immunogenicity.
