iNtRON pursues to not only neutralize viruses using bacteriophages based on PHAGERUS® but also apply PHAGERIA® and PHAGERIARUS® platform technology for the development of immunotherapeutic agents. To enable this, the Company requires to secure more advanced Robot Bacteriophage technology in order to freely design and produce the bacteriophage genome as desired.
Following the previously developed the 'REVERSE' genetics technology, the customized CRISPR/Cas System for bacteriophages, the technology developed this time is a 'FOWARD' genetics technology, which facilitate to find and remove non-essential genes in the bacteriophages. That is, iNtRON has secured the 2nd generation platform technology that can develop a Robot Bacteriophage with desired characteristics by introducing wanted genes into the retained empty spaces from the removed non-essential genes.
Dr. SON, Jee Soo, BD department head of iNtRON said "This is the first case of utilizing random mutagenesis to test bacteriophage gene function, and I think it has great significance in that High-throughput Screening (HTS) became possible through the modified and optimized random mutagenesis technology developed this time that uses the conventional transposon used for bacteria, but iNtRON adds the technology of an experimental method to select mutation-induced improved bacteriophage."
In this regard, the Company official has shared that iNtRON plans to keep upgrading and accelerating the technology so it could improve genes regardless of its size and gradually expand the types and categories of the improved bacteriophages by selection and removal of the non-essential genes from various natural bacteriophages isolated by iNtRON.
Mr. YOON, Kyung Won, CEO of iNtRON said "As we believe the 'modified random mutagenesis'- based platform technology developed this time can be utilized universally in PHAGERUS® for the antiviral agents development, and PHAGERIA® and PHAGERIARUS® for the anticancer and immunomodulatory agents development, the Company plans to expand the development field and target area continuously."
