. This is the type of response that virologists have been seeking for many years," stated Avtar Dhillon, MD, president and CEO of Inovio. "While these data will need to be reproduced in human clinical trials, the significant enhancement in potency observed to date reaffirms our position that electroporation is a key enabling technology for DNA vaccines."

Inovio's collaboration and non-exclusive license agreement with Wyeth was announced in November 2006.

About Inovio's DNA Delivery Technology

DNA vaccines have the potential to by-pass scientific obstacles inherent in the development of conventional vaccines. For example, DNA vaccines may be better in stimulating cellular immunity necessary to fight chronic infection or diseases such as cancer. Despite this promise, vaccination using DNA plasmid alone without enhanced delivery has not been shown to reach the threshold for clinical benefit.

Intramuscular delivery of DNA vaccines using Inovio's proprietary electroporation technology has been shown in primate studies to boost the immune response by orders of magnitude over DNA plasmid alone. Plasmid-based vaccines induced higher levels of antibodies and T-cell responses when delivered via electroporation, suggesting the potential to provide better protection from infectious diseases such as HIV and hepatitis C.

About Inovio Biomedical Corporation

Inovio Biomedical Corporation is focused on commercializing its Selective Electrochemical Tumor Ablation (SECTA) therapy and development of multiple DNA vaccines using its delivery platform for gene-based treatments. SECTA is a local ablation therapy for solid tumors that is designed to selectively kill cancerous cells and minimize cosmetic or functional impacts to predominantly healthy tissue typically treated around the tumor. Inovio is moving its lead product, the MedPulser(R), through pre-marketing studies for head and neck cancer and skin cancers in Europe, where it has CE Mark acc
