First anticancer immune cells with modulated cell memory.
TezR-modified donor leukocytes with unlocked novel mechanisms of tumor eradication
Leukocyte-Tells (SL-28) are the first allogeneic, non-genetically modified, donor-derived immune cells engineered through cellular memory modulation via the Universal Receptive System. This novel approach unlocks anticancer mechanisms that were previously inaccessible.
Through our pioneering expertise, we are harnessing the therapeutic potential of donor-derived leukocytes to fight advanced solid tumors. Our clinical development and expanded access programs are designed to deliver these transformative therapies quickly to patients with advanced cancers who have no further treatment options.
Leukocyte-Tells are created from immune cells donated by healthy individuals. Using our first-in-class technology, we modulate Cell Memory through the Universal Receptive System, transforming ordinary immune cells into Leukocyte-Tells with powerful anticancer activity.
Analyses
Extensive analyses show that hundreds of genes are upregulated in Leukocyte-Tells, activating key anticancer pathways such as:
Immune
cell signaling
Immune
cell migration
Endocytosis
& phagocytosis
Energy
metabolism
Leukocyte-Tells also generate unique anticancer peptides and metabolites, further enhancing their therapeutic effect.
Our science is validated sufficiently to produce a real-life image of what happens with the application of the therapy.

SL-28 is a breakthrough cell therapy designed to overcome the limitations of current treatments for advanced solid tumors.
Our proprietary platform modulates immune cell activity through the Universal Receptive System and Cell Memory, unlocking anticancer pathways never activated in CAR-T, TIL, or other existing therapies.
Through TezR modulation, SL-28 reprograms donor immune cells to generate durable and adaptable responses against some of the most difficult-to-treat cancers.
Unlike therapies that require months of manufacturing, SL-28 provides off-the-shelf Leukocyte-Tells allogeneic immune cells ready for immediate use. Patients with urgent needs can begin treatment without delays.
Advanced solid tumors remain among the most difficult cancers to treat. They are often diagnosed late, after spreading beyond the original site, and frequently prove resistant to standard therapies.
Despite decades of progress in surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and targeted treatments, both 1-year and 5-year survival rates remain unacceptably low, reflecting the aggressive nature of these diseases and the lack of effective therapies. Patients face limited treatment options and rapid disease progression, underscoring the urgent need for more effective therapies.
SL-28 is a different kind of immune cell adoptive therapy, and unlike CAR T or TILs, has proven to be effective in treating a broad range of advanced solid tumor cancers, even in cases with a heavy tumor burden.
Second Life Therapeutics has developed Leukocyte-Tells (SL-28), a universal cell therapy designed to treat a broad range of advanced solid tumors.
Through our expanded access program, SL-28 has already shown encouraging efficacy in patients with Stage IV cancers (comment: make a hyperlink to patient’s stories).
Disclaimer: Leukocyte-Tells (SL-28) is an investigational drug that has not been approved by any regulatory authority. Its safety and effectiveness have not yet been fully established.
Unlike traditional immunotherapies, SL-28 leverages TezR-modified donor leukocytes to unlock novel mechanisms of tumor eradication. With strong preclinical data, compassionate use human data, and a defined regulatory strategy, we are moving rapidly toward clinical translation.
