Xenomics Announces Issuance of a US Patent That Covers Use of Transrenal Nucleic Acid Technology for Infectious Disease Diagnostics and Monitoring
Date:11/14/2007

NEW YORK, Nov. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Xenomics, Inc. (the "Company") (OTC Pink Sheets: XNOM; FWB: XE7) a developer of next-generation medical DNA diagnostic technologies, announced today issuance of its US patent "Methods for detection of nucleic acid sequences in urine," RE39,920 that covers use of its proprietary transrenal nucleic acid technology in the area of infectious disease diagnostics and monitoring.

Transrenal nucleic acids (Tr-DNA and Tr-RNA) are fragments of DNA and RNA from cells dying throughout the body that cross the kidney barrier from blood to urine and can be used for genetic analysis. Xenomics' previous patents covered applications of the Tr-NA technology for prenatal genetic testing, tumor diagnostics and monitoring, and detection of rejection episodes after organ transplantation. The new patent covers diagnosis and monitoring of infectious diseases, the most rapidly growing area of molecular diagnostics.

The molecular diagnostic segments in general are projected to outperform the overall diagnostics market, growing from $13.8 billion in 2005 to $22.7 billion in 2010. Currently, the largest market application segment for molecular diagnostics is infectious disease testing.

Xenomics' scientists have detected in urine DNA and RNA fragments of different pathogens, including viruses, bacteria and parasites, that infected organs and tissues located outside of urinary system. Pulmonary tuberculosis, malaria, leishmania, HIV, H. pylori-induced ulcers of stomach and duodenum, cervical cancer caused by HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) are only some examples of diseases where the Tr-NA technology can be applied.

"The issuance of this patent significantly enhances our patent portfolio," commented Gianluigi Longinotti-Buitoni, Executive Chairman of Xenomics. "It is especially important for us now when several clinical tests for diagnosis of infectious diseases as well as for detecting tumors caused by viral infections are un
