Problem
Traditional protein expression systems often struggle to produce sufficient yields of hard-to-express proteins, hindering drug development and biopharmaceutical research. Low protein yield can lead to increased costs, longer development timelines, and limitations in the types of proteins that can be effectively produced.
Solution
KAICO leverages a silkworm-baculovirus expression system to overcome the limitations of conventional protein production methods. This platform enables the efficient and scalable production of recombinant proteins, including those that are difficult to express using other systems. By utilizing silkworms as bioreactors, KAICO can achieve high-quality protein production, supporting the development of novel therapeutics, research reagents, supplements, and vaccines. The technology offers a cost-effective and reliable solution for producing complex proteins, accelerating biopharmaceutical innovation.
