Immunotech Laboratories Announces Breakthrough Results for HIV and AIDS Treatment for Terminal Salvage Patients

PASADENA, CA--(Marketwire - November 28, 2012) - Immunotech Laboratories, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: IMMB)

Pursuant to significantly positive results with its patient population targeting full blown AIDS patients, the company has completed numerous clinical contracts with Mexican hospitals to initiate a full blown effort of clinical trial protocol preparation for its HIV/AIDS Vaccine drug candidate. The successful outcome of these efforts will eventually provide the necessary regulatory means for its product's registration approval in the Republic of Mexico and eventually open a venue to most of the central and South American markets.

Resistance to all commercially available antiretroviral (ARV) agents within all classes has been reported. The occurrence of multi-class resistance remains high, with 20% of infected individuals developing resistance to two or more classes within six years of initiating treatment, and 10% of newly diagnosed infections already resistant to at least one class in the U.S. Multi-class resistance is even more prevalent in disenfranchised patient populations, whose rates of successful adherence to even the most simplified regimens available remains prohibitively low. Inactivated Pepsin Fraction (IPF), like other natural autoantibody based fractionated proteins, has an affinity to pathogenic binding and simultaneously produces effects of immune homeostasis. IPF has shown significant antiretroviral activity via immune stimulatory pathways in vitro, notably helper T1 cells elaborate cytokines INFy, IL-2. These cells selectively promote cell-mediated immune responses that are disadvantageous to viral replication.

IPF appears to modulate helper T1 cells' expression of elaborate cytokines INFy, IL-2, which selectively promote cell-mediated immune response and subsequently stimulate cytotoxic lymphocytes. These lymphocytes have a prominent role in the host's immunologic response to HIV infection. Proteins encoded by these pathogens enter the endogenous pathway for antigen presentation and are expressed on the surface of the infected cell as a complex with class l MHC- proteins. IPF appears to present a novel mechanism to reduce viral burden and stimulate immune responses to the virus for patients with significant antiretroviral resistance. Furthermore, the use of IPF with antiretroviral therapy reduces the viral load between two and five log reduction.

This news release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties associated with financial projections, budgets, milestone timelines, clinical development, regulatory approvals, and other risks described by Immunotech Laboratories, Inc. from time to time in its periodic reports filed with the SEC. IPF is not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration or by any comparable regulatory agencies elsewhere in the world. While Immunotech Laboratories believes that the forward-looking statements and underlying assumptions contained therein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, including, but not limited to, the ability of Immunotech Laboratories to establish the efficacy of IPF in the treatment of any disease or health condition, the development of studies and strategies leading to commercialization of IPF in the United States, the obtaining of funding required to carry out the development plan, the completion of studies and tests on time or at all, and the successful outcome of such studies or tests. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this release will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, Immunotech Laboratories or any other person that the objectives and plans of Immunotech Laboratories will be achieved should not regard the forward-looking statements as a representation.
