The second plant will produce Adeno-associated virus(AAV) and Lentivirus vector(LV), which are viral vectors most commonly used in cell and gene therapy, for both clinical and commercial use.

Viral vectors are carriers that deliver genes into target cells and the body, and Adeno-associated viruses are mainly used for gene therapy and Lentivirus vectors for cell therapy.

Based on the technology that can produce high-quality viral vectors even in mass commercial production, Yposkesi has already signed a number of production contracts at the second plant and plans to start mass production in earnest from 2024.
