PURIVAX (TM) Technology from GeneThera Can Facilitate Faster Development of Avian Flu Vaccine.


WHEAT RIDGE, Colo. -- GeneThera (OTCBB OTCBB

See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB).
:GTHA) announces that its Purivax(TM) technology -- a large-scale process for highly purified and high viral titer Adenovirus adenovirus

Any of a group of spheroidal viruses, made up of DNA wrapped in a protein coat, that cause sore throat and fever in humans, hepatitis in dogs, and several diseases in fowl, mice, cattle, pigs, and monkeys.
 and AAV recombinant vectors, would enable fast track development of Adenovirus and AAV-based recombinant DNA vaccines for diseases such as the Avian Flu (commonly called Bird Flu).

GeneThera's PURIVAX(TM), is a multi-resin anion exchange chromatography system that dramatically improves biological purity and viral titer of recombinant Adenovirus and AAV vectors. PURIVAX(TM), completely eliminates toxic side effects associated with adenoviruses and AAV vectors thereby making it possible to quickly develop highly immunogenic im·mu·no·gen·ic
adj.
Producing an immune response.



immunogenic

producing immunity; evoking an immune response.
 and safe recombinant DNA vaccines, which are significantly more efficacious in fighting today's bacterial and viral diseases like Bird Flu, as well as food pathogen applications.

Importantly, recombinant DNA (rDNA) vaccine technology represents a powerful tool for an innovative vaccine design process known as "genetic immunization."

Dr. Tony Milici, 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.  of GeneThera remarked, "GeneThera's PURIVAX(TM) is able to achieve both high purity and high viral titer (up to 10e16 viral particles/eulate) based on its proprietary multi-resin anion exchange chromatography system, unlike traditional technologies and first generation chromatography processes that are inadequate, both in terms of purity and yield. The important significance to mankind is that our PURIVAX(TM) technology can help achieve accelerated development of an rDNA vaccine for veterinary diseases, such as the Bird Flu."
