The present invention provides molecular weight markers for accurate determination of the molecular weight of glatiramer acetate and other copolymers. The present invention further provides a plurality of molecular weight markers for determining the molecular weight of glatiramer acetate and other copolymers which display linear relationships between molar ellipticity and molecular weight, and between retention time and the log of the molecular weight. n The molecular weight markers also optimally demonstrate biological activity similar to glatiramer acetate orcorresponding copolymers and can be used for treating or preventing various immune diseases. |
