Immunity enhanced silkworms provide licensing opportunities for silk industry
Ann Arbor, Mich. –Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. recently developed two transgenic lines of immunity enhanced silkworms, and is now preparing to test them for industry use.
These silkworm lines were developed by Kraig Labs to combat two of the biggest challenges facing the global silk production industry.
“We are very excited to begin challenge testing for these immunity enhanced silkworm lines,” said COO Jon Rice. “Our intention is to license this technology to silk produces all over the world.”
As much as 50% of all losses in silk production result from a single widespread virus. Specifically designed to target and combat this virus and other pathogens, Kraig Labs’ new disease-resistant lines of silkworms are intended for licensing into the global market to help mundane silks combat pathogenic viruses and fungi.
The company expects to make these lines of resilient silkworms available for commercial licensing upon the conclusion of successful challenge testing.
Rice said: “This program to produce licensable commercial lines of more robust silkworms is the perfect complement to our core focus, the commercialization of Kraig’s eco-friendly recombinant spider silk.”
