Nanobac Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announces Scientists Discover Nanobacterium in Ovarian Cancer Patients.Business Editors/Health/Medical Writers TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 24, 2003 Nanobac Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTCPK:NNBP) ("Nanobac" or "The Company"). Austrian Scientists from University Hospital in Vienna, utilizing diagnostics developed and provided by Nanobac OY, reported finding Nanobacterium Nanobacteria are said to be cell-walled microorganisms with a diameter well below the generally accepted lower limit (about 200 nanometres) for bacteria. 200 nm happens to be the size of the smallest object which could be resolved in a standard light microscope. in Ovarian cancer ovarian cancer Malignant tumour of the ovaries. Risk factors include early age of first menstruation (before age 12), late onset of menopause (after age 52), absence of pregnancy, presence of specific genetic mutations, use of fertility drugs, and personal history of breast patients. The discovery was published in the APMIS APMIS Acta Pathologica, Microbiologica et Immunologica Scandinavica APMIS Automated Project Management Information System APMIS Automated Project Management System (Acta Pathologica, Microbiologica et Immunologica Scandinavica) Journal; APMIS 111: 951-4, 2003. This study investigated whether nanobacteria are associated with microcalcifications (i.e., psammoma bodies) found in ovarian cancers. Positive nanobacterial results were found in all 7 microcalcificed specimens by immunohistochemical staining, transmission electron microscopy “TEM” redirects here. For other uses, see TEM (disambiguation). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is an imaging technique whereby a beam of electrons is transmitted through a specimen, then an image is formed, magnified and directed to appear either , ELISA ELISA (e-li´sah) Enzyme-Linked Immuno-Sorbent Assay; any enzyme immunoassay using an enzyme-labeled immunoreactant and an immunosorbent. ELISA n. , and infrared spectroscopy. Control cases of ovarian adenocarcinomas without microcalcifications were negative for nanobacteria. The scientists concluded that Nanobacterial infection may be of clinical importance as these bacteria are related to microcalcifications in ovarian cancer. "Because Nanobacteria are the only known self replicating crystallizing molecule, and a significant percentage of degenerative human diseases involve pathological calcifications, these findings represent significant validation of our company's intellectual property," said John Stanton, Chairman and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . "Further, we are on a path to rapidly explore all research, development and collaborative opportunities involving nanobacteria science." Nanobac OY is the Research and Development arm of the Company and is located in Kuopio, Finland. The discovery of Nanobacteria was originally documented and patented by Dr.'s Olavi Kajander and Neva Ciftcioglu, the Founders of Nanobac OY. Nanobac OY provides the principal scientific research support and diagnostic technology segment of Nanobac.
