Date:12/28/2009

PRINCETON, N.J., Dec. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Soligenix, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SNGX) (Soligenix or the Company), formerly known as DOR BioPharma, Inc., a late-stage biotechnology company, announced today the publication of an article in the January 2010 edition of Infection and Immunity, detailing the characteristics of several immunodominant regions of ricin A chain, the antigenic component of RiVax((TM)). RiVax((TM)) is Soligenix's vaccine to protect against exposure to ricin toxin and is currently being evaluated in Phase 1 human safety and immunogenicity trials, as well as nonhuman primate trials for efficacy.

The article, entitled "A Monoclonal Immunoglobulin G Antibody Directed against an Immunodominant Linear Epitope on the Ricin A Chain Confers Systemic and Mucosal Immunity to Ricin," is the result of collaborative efforts between the Wadsworth Center of the New York State Department of Health (Albany, NY) and Soligenix. The research was funded in large part by several National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants to the Company for the development of RiVax((TM)). The full article (Neal et al., Infection and Immunity, 2010, volume 78: pp. 552-561) is available online at: http://iai.asm.org/cgi/content/abstract/78/1/552.

In this study, the investigators produced and characterized a monoclonal antibody directed against a region ("epitope") of the ricin A chain previously known to be highly immunologically stimulatory ("immunodominant") in humans. The monoclonal antibody was shown to bind the ricin A chain with high affinity, and to be capable of neutralizing ricin toxin in a cell-based killing assay. Moreover, when administered passively to mice, the neutralizing antibod
