It is anticipated that the first application of this technology will be the testing of insulin-producing islet cells for the treatment of diabetes from the ‘double knock-out’ pigs, first in primates, and soon thereafter in humans.
Human clinical trials could start in as little as four years and analysts believe the market could be worth over $6 billion for cellular therapies for Diabetes, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s Disease, and another $5 billion for solid organs (kidney and heart initially).
To date, the company has generated more than 35 female alpha 1,3 GT knockout pigs since the first litter was born in December 2001, demonstrating that this technology is now a reliable and reproducible tool for making very precise genetic changes in these animals.
