About Juvaris

Juvaris BioTherapeutics was created in 2003 to develop an immunotherapeutic product platform for the treatment of infectious diseases and cancers using lipid-DNA complexes. Cationic lipids are formulated with non-coding DNA (plasmid) to create JuvImmune(TM), a single lipid-DNA complex, which as a single product will have utility in multiple cancer and infectious disease applications. The JuvImmune(TM) product has been shown to be at least 50-times more potent at triggering innate immune activation and interferon release than current immune stimulants.

When combined with disease-specific antigens, the technology creates JuvaVax(TM) vaccines capable of activating substantial antibody- and cell-mediated immune responses, particularly induction of cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Immunological responses elicited by the lipid-DNA complexes have been successfully demonstrated in both prophylactic and therapeutic settings in a variety of mammals including rodents, rabbits, cats, dogs and non-human primates. Moreover, substantial immune responses have been induced following oral and intranasal administration. This system provides the opportunity to develop many disease-specific immunotherapy products, for which there are significant unmet medical needs.

The Company encourages investment and partnering inquiries, and can be reached at its website @ www.juvaris.com.
