CEL-SCI Files Patent Application to Support Company's Treatment for More Virulent Strain of H1N1 Swine and Other Influenza Viruses
Date:6/24/2009

VIENNA, Va., June 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CEL-SCI CORPORATION (NYSE AMEX: CVM) announced today that it has filed a provisional U.S. patent application covering its L.E.A.P.S.(TM) immune therapy drugs (vaccines) for the prevention/treatment of H1N1, swine, bird flu, Influenza A and/or evolving mutants or variants of these viruses. Some experts believe that by the next flu season the swine flu virus will have evolved and/or combined with other viruses to create a much more lethal new virus. That is what happened in the case of the Spanish flu pandemic. CEL-SCI's efforts to fight this virus are focused on using conserved epitopes from essential proteins to be found in the A influenza virus for H1N1, H1N5, swine, bird flu and Spanish influenza to create an effective vaccine/treatment that could potentially fight such a mutant virus.

Geert Kersten, Chief Executive Officer of CEL-SCI said, "By filing this provisional patent in the U.S., we are preserving our rights to file patents on these inventions and for their use world-wide either as an injected vaccine before a person is infected or exposed or as a therapeutic vaccine for treatment."

Experimental work has been initiated on these various methods of use and applications for the A influenza vaccines. These L.E.A.P.S. vaccines, when used individually or together, are expected to induce antigen specific immune response(s) which, based on other L.E.A.P.S. animal tests in multiple disease models will hopefully lead to a protective immune response.

The most recent such presentation by an outside university investigator (Dr. Borthakur, University of Hawaii) reported new L.E.A.P.S. Tuberculosis data at the Annual American Society for Microbiology in Philadelphia, PA. This TB data demonstrated that vaccines utilizing the L.E.A.P.S. vaccine
