Lactiga - About Us

LEVERAGING NATURE TO ELEVATE IMMUNITY

Secretory Immunoglobulin A (sIgA) is a key antibody found in mucosal surfaces throughout the body, including the respiratory, digestive, and ocular compartments. Our first-in-class sIgA therapeutic has the potential to enhance mucosal immunity across conditions affecting these regions.

UNLOCKING THE THERAPEUTIC POWER OF HUMAN MILK ANTIBODIES

At Lactiga, we are harnessing the power of maternal antibodies naturally found in breastmilk to develop biologics that can help dysregulated immune systems in patients of all ages.

MEDIA & INVESTORS

"This is the start of Lactiga's ambitious mission to shift the paradigm of therapeutic antibody development from systemic to mucosal delivery, where many pathogens initially enter the body. By targeting the mucosal immune system, we can create more effective therapies that prevent infection at the point of entry, leading to a much better quality of life, especially in our most vulnerable populations."
