Cytokine produced by recombinant riceOUR TECHNOLOGIES&PRODUCTS
Company profile
PrevenTec, Inc. have developed methods for cytokine production by
recombinant rice. Recombinant protein production in transgenic rice
systems is an excellent technology in terms of cost benefit and safety.
There is no contamination of animal components and bacterial components
in the proteins produced in rice seed. PrevenTec, Inc. can provide a
high quality recombinant proteins for clients.。 Technology
We developed recombinant rice strains which express cytokines. Then we
developed the procedure for extraction and purification of a cytokine
from rice seed. The cytokines purified from rice seed have high activity
upon susceptible cells and contain less than 10^-5EU/μg of endotoxin.

Bussiness
We can provide growth factors which can be used for cell culture of
regenerative medicine research.
bFGF and PDGF are available now.
Cytokines for immunology studies are also on sale, IL-10, mouse IL-4
and mouse IL-6.
We are also developing new products: aFGF, transferrin, and TGF-beta.
They will be released in the near future.
