(www.antigenexpress.com), has been featured in a Micro-Cap Review interview of Antigen Express President Dr. Eric von Hofe, PhD conducted earlier this month at the JPMorgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco.

The Company is currently nearing the end of a randomized, controlled and blinded Phase II trial designed to test the ability of AE37 to prevent relapse in patients who have had breast cancer.

One focuses on modification of peptides with Ii-Key to increase potency while a second relies on inhibition of expression of the Ii protein. Antigen Express scientists, and others, have shown clearly that suppression of expression of the Ii protein in cancer cells allows for potent stimulation of T-helper cells and prevents the further growth of cancer cells.
