The True Source of hyperactive Super piggyBac®

Licensed for research, development and commercial applications

How piggyBac works

Super piggyBac is a proprietary, non-viral transposase platform exclusively licensed by Demeetra following the acquisition of Hera BioLabs. Use of Super piggyBac and its derivatives, including hyperactive variants such as hyPBase, requires access to Demeetra IP.

Developed through protein engineering, Demeetra’s Super piggyBac platform is licensed for cell and gene therapy research and development, as well as for commercial use in research reagents, model development, and diagnostic applications.

Why Licensing Matters

Super piggyBac® is proprietary to Demeetra and is protected by U.S. and international patents and trademarks. Demeetra is the sole licensed provider of Super piggyBac for research, cell and gene therapy discovery and development, synthetic biotechnology, and related applications. Partnering with Demeetra enables confident internal research and provides a clear, supported path to commercializing engineered cells and products.

Synergistic Hyperactive Mutations Drive Super piggyBac Efficiency

Super piggyBac was created through the systematic combination of multiple hyperactive mutations, resulting in a next-generation transposase engineered to deliver both high integration efficiency and elevated transgene copy number in cell types critical for cell and gene therapy research and development, while preserving piggyBac’s large cargo capacity and favorable open-chromatin integration profile.

Super piggyBac achieves several-fold higher CAR-T and GFP integration in primary cells, producing stronger, more uniform engineered populations for cell therapy research and development.

Super piggyBac® demonstrates markedly superior performance compared to wild-type piggyBac and competitor transposases, delivering both higher integration efficiency and substantially increased transgene copy number in relevant cell systems. Super piggyBac performs comparably to hyPBase, a hyperactive derivative that itself requires access to Demeetra IP, reinforcing Super piggyBac as a best-in-class, IP-controlled platform for high-performance gene integration.
