A human cell line that produces a human antibody that neutralizes HIV

BioClonetics has created a human cell line that produces a human antibody (designated as CLONE 3) that neutralizes HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.

As its primary mission, the Company is preparing for animal and human trials to ready its antibody for use in treating those with HIV/AIDS and for production of an AIDS vaccine.

The PROBLEM: Current chemotherapeutic ARVs are

unsafe, ineffective and expensive

No satisfactory or safe treatment is available; chemotherapeutic anti-retroviral (ARV) drugs are:• Highly toxic

• Cause liver and kidney failure,

• Cause increased cardiovascular disease (4 times as likely)

• Decrease bone density

• Cause severe vitamin deficiency

• Must be administered for life and do not provide a cure

• Create treatment resistant strains of the virus that cannot be treated and are fatal

ARV Treatment is expensive

• Current average annual costs (U.S.) per patient is $10,000 (drugs only)

• Life-time costs (U.S.) per patient (over an average treatment span of 24 years) is $240,000

Clone 3 provides a uncompromised SOLUTION

BioClonetics has produced a human monoclonal antibody, Clone 3, which neutralizes HIV

The antibody binds to a highly conserved four amino acid sequence KLIC (epitope) on the viral surface transmembrane outer protein envelope and kills the virus

Use of monoclonal antibodies against HIV is widely recognized as a promising approach to achieving effective therapy: NIH announcement May 2008: “New research program focused on generating broadly neutralizing antibodies”.

Technical Summary and Status

How Does Clone 3 Work?

For HIV to infect, it requires binding between the virus and the human CD4 cell at two target sites (a primary and secondary).

The Clone 3 interrupts the second binding site of the virus to the human CD4 cell and prevents infection by fusion.

Immunotherapy is safe and effective.

Administered in a finite period (12 months) rather than requiring life long use, as is the case with anti-retroviral therapies now used to treat HIV/AIDS.

The antibody is ready for testing in primates but must first be produced in the recombinant form for such tests and for human trials.

Page 8: BioClonetics - Monoclonal Antibody HIV Therapy

Proof of EFFICACY – First 3rd Party Evidence

The Clone 3 human antibody neutralized HIV in all clades and groups found around the globe. It has been tested at 5 research institutions against 45 strains of the virus:

1. University of California, San Francisco, CA, USA (Jay Levy, MD)

2. University of South Florida, Tampa, FL, USA (Kenneth Ugen, PhD)

3. Polymun Scientific, GmbH, Vienna, AUSTRIA, (Hermann Katinger, PhD)

4. Duke University, Durham, NC, USA (David Montefiori, PhD)

5. Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA, (Ruth Ruprecht, MD, PhD)

Page 9: BioClonetics - Monoclonal Antibody HIV Therapy

Proof of EFFICACY – 3rd Party Evidence

• Test in five (5) international research institutes have shown that Clone 3 antibody neutralizes (at IC90*) 41 of 45 (over 91%) of primary HIV isolates tested, from clades A, B, C, E, and F from around the globe. Clade C is the clade prevalent in China.

• By comparison, the clinical use of approved viral fusion-inhibitor Fuzeon, shows the post-therapy viral burden to be less than 50 copies of HIV in only an average of 33% of patients, and is known to be highly toxic and cannot eradicate the virus.

A. P.A. Broliden et al. Infants who lacked anti-KLIC (Clone 3) antibodies had a rapid progression to symptomatic AIDS

B. Vanini et al. Decreasing concentration of anti-KLIC (Clone 3) antibodies directly correlated with HIV disease progression

C. Loomis-Price et al., High antibody reactivity to the peptide containing the immunogen epitope [KLIC] (Clone 3) is associated with slow progression to AIDS

D. Dietrich et al. Long-Term Non-Progressors (LTNPs) are individuals with the virus but having normal T‑cell counts, no opportunistic infections without ARVs) show the presence of anti-KLIC antibodies

E. Cano et al. Correlation between the presence of anti-linear peptide antibodies and the patient’s ability to endure the infection.

F. NIH conducted primate vaccine studies

SUMMARY

• Large unmet medical need

–ARV drugs can not eradicate virus from HIV-infected patients, nor provide a cure

–ARV drugs are not sufficiently effective, safe or protective

• Clone 3 antibody therapy will be safer, more effective and less expensive

–The technology provides a highly profitable, disruptive therapy that can supplant current ARV treatments now used by HIV patients
