Product Information

• Name: BG45
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: BG45 is a mutant strain of the bacterium Lactobacillus plantarum that has been modified to express a protein that inhibits the growth of tumor cells. The BG45 bacterium is capable of inducing an inhibitory effect on cancer cell growth in vitro and in vivo. This inhibitory effect is due to the immunomodulatory effects of the bacterium, which are mediated by suppressing genes that are involved in immune response and lipid metabolism. Furthermore, BG45 has significant cytotoxicity when cultured with human cancer cells and suppressed tumor growth in murine xenografts. This bacterium also has lysine residues that can be used as an indicator for identifying nutrient-poor environments such as microenvironments, suggesting that it may have potential use as a probiotic for patients with gastrointestinal disorders. In vitro assays have shown that BG45 produces fatty acids, which may be responsible for its activity against tumors.
