- ramraj07 6y agoThe only places where short half life proteins have been useful is if you're delivering toxic substances and you don't want any off target effects (see BiTes - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bi-specific_T-cell_engager https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bi-specific_T-cell_engager ) the technology behind the targeted becomes less relevant if you don't care about the half life. You can make antibody fragments that are only slightly larger that are still fine.
