     Shared Design Philosophy
               Across these use cases, oral antibodies offer a new
               paradigm in immunotherapy:
                   •  Local delivery at the site of pathogen or antigen
                       contact
                   •  Reduced systemic exposure, minimizing
                       immunogenicity and side effects
                   •  Stability in plant matrices, allowing ambient
                       storage and easy administration
                   •  Format flexibility (sIgA, IgY, nanobodies),
                       depending on target and route
               This isn’t about flooding the system with antibodies.
               It’s about putting the right molecule in the right place—
               at the right time.
               The Immune and Operational Advantage
               Because oral antibodies don’t circulate systemically, they
               are less likely to provoke anti-drug antibodies—a major
               cause of therapeutic failure in IV-administered biologics.
               This makes them ideal for:
                   •  Pediatric use
                   •  Prophylactic regimens
                   •  Chronic inflammatory conditions
                   •  First-line deployment in outbreak or low-
                       infrastructure scenarios
               Additionally, because oral antibodies can be formulated
               for stability and self-administration, they eliminate many
               of the barriers to traditional biologic access: infusion
