CEL-SCI Collaborators Present Data Suggesting That LEAPS Technology Has Ability to Modify Immune Response
Date:11/9/2009

VIENNA, Va., Nov. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CEL-SCI Corporation (NYSE Amex: CVM) announced today that Dr. Kenneth S. Rosenthal, Professor of Immunology and Microbiology of Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine and Pharmacy, reported on work conducted in collaboration with scientists at the Cleveland Clinic and CEL-SCI on CEL-SCI's LEAPS vaccine technology. The data was presented at the 7th GTCbio Vaccine: "All Things Considered" Conference in Crystal City, Virginia.

Working with LEAPS vaccines for herpes simplex virus, HIV, rheumatoid arthritis and most recently, H1N1 influenza, the scientists' studies show that LEAPS peptide immunogens can convert precursor cells from mouse or humans to become dendritic cells (DC), the cell that directs the subsequent immune response. These DCs produce interleukin 12 (IL12p70), but without production of the pro-inflammatory cytokines that promote symptoms of a cytokine storm, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha or interleukin 1. Immunization with a LEAPS-immunogen for herpes simplex virus activates a protective T cell immune response against the virus in mice while a LEAPS-immunogen for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (CEL-2000) reduces the production of the pro-inflammatory cytokines to block the progression of disease in mouse models of rheumatoid arthritis.

Dr. Rosenthal commented, "LEAPS immunogens are unique in their ability to simultaneously produce and activate a specific type of dendritic cell that can turn on or modulate antigen specific T cell responses without generating the pro-inflammatory cytokines associated with cytokine storm. The ability to activate the desired immune response should make LEAPS immunogens inherently safe vaccines. Finding of similar results for mouse and human cells in our laboratory studies adds confidence that the effects in the body will be the same in mice and man. "
