ARIUS to Present at American Association for Cancer Research Annual,Meeting

- Lead Programs CD44 and Trop-2 poster Presentations Reveal New Findings -

TORONTO, April 4 - ARIUS Research Inc. (TSX: ARI), a biotechnology company discovering and developing the next wave of antibody therapeutics, today announced that new information on the preclinical activity of two of its novel monoclonal antibodies will be presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), which runs from April 14-18, 2007 in Los Angeles, California. The first poster presentation will outline the activity of ARIUS' lead anti-CD44 antibody, ARH460-16-2, against liver cancer, a significant market in Asia and a growing concern in North America.

CD44 is an important marker for cancer stem cells that often survive treatment and keep growing to spread tumors. Studies of patients with different types of cancer have shown that CD44 can be linked to poorer chances of survival. ARIUS anti-CD44 antibodies have previously been found to control tumor growth and improve survival in breast and prostate cancer models.

The second poster will describe the activity of two antibodies targeting Trop-2 in a variety of solid tumors including breast and colon cancers plus pancreatic cancer, an area without effective treatment options. Trop-2 is a new target for drugs in cancer. Recently, increasing Trop-2 has been shown to
stimulate tumor growth. Studies in colon cancer patients found it is also associated with more aggressive disease and cancer death.

"Presenting our most recent findings for two of our lead programs, CD44 and Trop-2, is an excellent opportunity to showcase the potential of our products as we look for partners," said Dr. David Young, President and CEO. "Moreover, this important preclinical work also highlights the value and capabilities of our FunctionFIRST(TM) platform to generate novel antibodies with promising anti-cancer properties."
