Company Profile

Genecome Biotech is currently researching potential methods of producing cytokines for the prevention of poultry diseases. Chickens are raised under high density conditions and exposure to infections by opportunistic pathogens spreads rapidly and can have devastating economic impact. Cytokines such as Chicken Interferon-gamma (ChIFN-γ) have shown to have adjuvant and growth promoting activity in poultry and livestock. Their potential is very promising to be used as immunoenhancers adjuvants and as an alternative to antibiotics. The firm is working to produce chicken interferon-gamma in a rapid plant production system to use as a potent immunostimulant against poultry diseases.
