Filamentous phage

NeuroPhage’s drug candidates are specific filament-shaped bacterial viruses, filamentous bacteriophage or “phage” that infect only bacteria but do not affect animal cells (including human cells). High bacteriophage levels are ubiquitous in our environment without causing safety concerns.

Filamentous phage consist of coat proteins (p3 and p6 to p9) surrounding the genomic DNA core
