Second Genome proprietary drug delivery system via Lactococcus Lactis (L. lactis)

Why L. lactis delivery system

  • Clinical success with other L. lactis drug delivery systems (ActoBio™).
  • Direct gut delivery, non-systemic.
  • Lactococcus Lactis L. lactis is Generally Regarded As Safe (GRAS).
  • Clear regulatory pathway.
  • Probiotic.

GI tract is rich in proteases that makes it very challenging to delivery therapeutics to the gut. Our drug delivery vehicle ensures that peptide(s)/protein(s) reach its target.
