EAST LANSING, Mich., Feb. 10, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCBB:KBLB) is pleased to announce that Dr. Fraser's research team recently accomplished five thousand genetic transfers in a single week using the newly designed DNA insertion packets. "Every DNA packet insertion has the potential to create a new recombinant fiber with commercial applications. The achievement of 5,000 such insertions in a single week is something that the Company would not have dreamed of in 2008," said CEO Kim K. Thompson. "At the same time," Thompson continued, "Dr. Fraser is reporting a large increase in the team's observation of the occurrence of transient expression shortly after the gene transfers are preformed." Transient expression following a genetic insertion is seen by the research team as a strong indication of the viability of the genetic transfers.
