      Grant Life Sciences enters into Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with U.S. State Department`s `Bio-Industry Initiative` (BII)

      Thursday , January 19, 2006 08:00 ET

      MURRAY, Utah, Jan 19, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- `BII` designed to foster medical and other biological R&D in the former Soviet Union by converting former biowarfare scientists to productive peacetime activities

      Grant Life Sciences Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GLIF) announced today the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Dr. Peter Sveshnikov and Dr. Vsevolod Kiselev of the Russian Republic, for the in-licensing of certain of their technologies that are highly complementary to Grants` antibody-based test for detecting cervical cancer. The Sveshnikov/Kiselev technology comes to Grant from the U.S. State Department through its Bio-Industry Initiative (BII) program. The BII is designed to foster medical and other biological research and development in the former Soviet Union by converting former biowarfare scientists to productive peacetime activities.

      Sveshnikov/Kiselev have developed an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) to detect specific cancer-causing proteins from the human papillomavirus (HPV) -- the obligate cause of cervical cancer -- in the cervical mucous and cells (which make up liquid-based pap samples). The test utilizes certain monoclonal antibodies against these cancer-causing HPV proteins for detection. Thus far, the test is designed to detect cancer-causing proteins from HPV types 16 and 18 which, collectively, are responsible for most cervical disease. This type-specific antigen test, once fully validated and expanded to include additional types of HPV associated with cervical dysplasia and cancer, would be a very synergistic and complementary test to existing Pap technology. It will provide for very low-cost HPV testing as currently performed in Western countries, without the need for additional cervical specimens beyond what is now taken. In addition, large capital outlays would not be required, since most laboratories can readily do ELISA testing.

      Sveshnidov/Kiselev have already tested their technology with 1000 Russian samples to confirm the potential of this technology. Grant will be further validating with more specimens from Russia and via the many cervical specimens obtained in the United States under its Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval in controlled clinical settings.

      "Together, when validated, Grant will have two complementary cervical dysplasia or cancer diagnostic tests that will work on blood serum or cervical mucous and cells," said Dr. Hun-Chi Lin, President and Chief Scientist at Grant. "A blood-based test is eminently suitable for the 1.7 billion women worldwide who currently are not tested by Pap smear cytology. This inadequacy results in over 300,000 deaths per year. Meanwhile, a test employing cervical mucous or cells is readily fitting for Western medical venues, and has the potential of reducing costs dramatically when compared against those for current HPV DNA-testing. Furthermore, it could significantly reduce expenditures for follow-up referral procedures that turn out to be overwhelmingly negative, with billions of dollars per year in unnecessary medical expenses saved as a consequence."

      Papillomaviren:

      HPV-Infektion (Humanpathogene Papilloma-Viren)


      Dr. med. Britta Bürger, Fachärztin für Frauenheilkunde und Geburtshilfe


      Was ist eine HPV-Infektion?

      Infektionen mit dem Humanpathogenen Papilloma-Virus gehören zu den häufigsten sexuell übertragbaren Viruserkrankungen. Die Ansteckung kann jedoch auch beim Neugeborenen über den Geburtsweg stattfinden. Als Folgen einer HPV-Infektion treten meist harmlose Hauterscheinungen auf. Es existieren aber verschiedene Virus-Untergruppen, von denen einige in Verdacht stehen, bei der Entstehung von bösartigen Erkrankungen beteiligt zu sein. Bewiesen ist mittlerweile der Zusammenhang mit dem Gebärmutterhalskrebs. Wie es zu einer bösartigen (malignen) Entartung infolge einer HPV-Infektion kommen kann, ist allerdings noch nicht vollständig geklärt.

      Zum Erreger: Das Virus gehört zu den doppelsträngigen DNA-Viren. In seinem Inneren befinden sich auch noch andere Eiweißstrukturen. Umgeben ist es von einer Kapsel. Die Erbsubstanz des Virus kann mit den Zell- und Regulationsproteinen in den menschlichen Zellen interagieren. Daher besteht auch die Möglichkeit, dass die Zelle entartet.



      Welche Krankheiten können durch HP-Viren verursacht werden?

      Im Folgenden werden jene Krankheiten aufgelistet, die derzeit mit dem HP-Virus in Verbindung gebracht werden. Es besteht jedoch die Möglichkeit, dass im Verlauf der Forschung noch weitere Zusammenhänge zwischen solchen Infektionen und anderen Folgekrankheiten festgestellt werden.

      Haut: Auf der Haut können HP-Viren zur Warzenbildung führen. Auch hier finden sich Formen, die eine maligne Entartung begünstigen.

      Kopf und Halsbereich: Warzenbildungen im Hals-Nasen-Ohren-Bereich können ebenfalls auf eine HP-Infektion zurückzuführen sein. Bestimmte Virus-Untergruppen wurden auch bei tumorösen Veränderungen, beispielsweise an den Stimmlippen, festgestellt.

      Genitalien: Bislang wurden mehr als 40 Untergruppen des HP-Virus bei Infektionen im Genitalbereich nachgewiesen. Bei den Folgen sind die harmlosen Warzenstrukturen - zu denen auch die Feigwarzen (Kondylome) zählen - von den ernst zunehmenden Virus-Infektionen zu unterscheiden. Für die Kondylome sind die HP-Gruppen 6, 11 und 42 verantwortlich. Bei den HPV-Infektionen, die zu bösartigen Zellveränderungen führen können, den so genannten "High-Risk-Gruppen", findet man die Virus-Untergruppen 16, 18 und andere. Diese Hautveränderungen sind häufig nicht mit bloßem Auge zu erkennen. Die gefährlichen Virus-Untergruppen sind nachweislich nicht nur an der Entstehung von Gebärmutterhalskrebs beteiligt, sondern man findet sie auch bei Krebserkrankungen des Penis, der Vulva (äußeres weibliche Genitale) oder des Anus.

      Feigwarzen (Kondylome): Nach einer Inkubationszeit von drei Wochen bis acht Monaten können Feigwarzen (Condylomata accuminata) auftreten. In 10 bis 30 Prozent der Erkrankungen darf mit einem spontanen Verschwinden der Warzen gerechnet werden. Dabei spielt die Immunsituation des jeweiligen Betroffenen eine wichtige Rolle. Allerdings bleibt das Virus in den Zellen oft verborgen und kann ähnlich einer Herpes-Infektion immer dann reaktiviert werden, wenn sich die Immunlage verschlechtert, zum Beispiel bei AIDS bzw. während der Durchführung von Chemotherapien.

      High-Risk-HPV-Infektionen: Ähnlich verläuft die Infektion mit den High-Risk-Viren im Bereich des Gebärmutterhalses. Hier bilden die Viren meist keine erhabenen Warzen, wie sie allgemein bekannt sind, sondern eher flächige Strukturen, die nicht so einfach zu erkennen sind. Diese fallen meist erst unter Lupenbetrachtung oder durch Zellveränderungen auf. Manchmal gelingt der Nachweis auch, indem verdünnte Essigsäurelösung auf eine möglicherweise infizierte Fläche aufgebracht wird. Die Hautveränderungen zeigen sich als weißliche Areale.

      Die nachweisbaren Gewebeveränderungen können sich einerseits spontan zurückbilden, so dass keine Zellveränderungen mehr nachweisbar sind, andererseits können sie auch zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt erneut wieder auftreten. Es gibt auch Verläufe, wo die Zellveränderungen stetig fortschreiten, bis sich Krebszellen entwickelt haben. Für eine HPV-Infektion typisch ist der Abstrichbefund PAP IIID. Hochgradige Zellveränderungen bis hin zur Krebszelle zeigen sich bei PAP IV a/b oder PAP V. Führt man einen Erregernachweis durch, findet man in absteigender Häufigkeit folgende Untergruppen: 16 , 31, 18 , 33, 35, 52, 73.



      Wie wird eine HPV-Infektion diagnostiziert?

      Es ist nicht ganz einfach, eine HPV-Infektion zu diagnostizieren. Zur Verfügung stehen dazu unterschiedliche Methoden, die jeweils gewisse Vor- und Nachteile haben. Generelles Ziel der Testverfahren ist es, das Erbmaterial des Virus nachzuweisen. Dazu werden markierte Gen-Bruchstücke an das Virusmaterial angelagert und so sichtbar gemacht. Diese Bruchstücke sind für eine ganz bestimmte Virusgruppe charakteristisch

      Das Testergebnis ist jedoch nur dann positiv, wenn die Infektion dazu geführt hat, dass sich das Virus vermehrt. Deshalb lassen sich latente Infektionen - das Virus sitzt inaktiv in den Zellen - nicht feststellen. Ein "negatives Testergebnis" bedeutet daher nicht unbedingt, dass keine Infektion stattgefunden hat. Zudem ist es mit einem Test nur möglich, bestimmte Untergruppen zu erfassen. Andere Gruppen, für die dieser Test nicht konzipiert ist, fallen daher nicht auf.

      Grant Life Sciences Announces Collaboration with Allogen Laboratories
      03-04-2005


      RALEIGH -- Grant Life Sciences Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GLIF) announced an agreement with Allogen Laboratories, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, wherein Allogen will perform testing and validation studies on Grant`s protein-based HPV/cervical cancer diagnostic technology and kits.

      As a part of the agreement, Allogen will screen pre-cancerous and cervical cancer patient samples with Grant`s proprietary test to determine the efficacy of the technology. The test, which consists of synthetic peptides derived from human papillomavirus (HPV) proteins, would be the first diagnostic to directly detect cervical cancer.

      Dr. Daniel Cook, Director of Allogen Laboratories, stated, "We are very excited about this opportunity to participate in the validation process of this potentially very significant diagnostic test. It`s a great opportunity to explore the potential of new technologies in order to overcome the limitations of current methodologies."

      Stan Yakatan, Chairman and CEO of Grant Life Sciences, stated, "We are fortunate to be working with a high quality group like the Cleveland Clinic, which is a strong validation for the cervical cancer diagnostic under development. The market for cervical cancer testing is enormous, and Allogen Laboratories will aid in the speed and quality of our development plans for our non-invasive, protein-based diagnostic."

      The human papillomavirus (HPV) causes virtually all cervical cancer. Through a proprietary protein-based technology, the assay under development by Grant looks at HPV in a fashion that identifies cervical cancer, its precursors or the likelihood of its presence. This immunotest includes antibodies especially associated with HPV-caused neoplasias or cancers that are detected with synthetic, proprietary peptides or amino acid sequences derived from certain proteins in the human papillomavirus.

      Grant Life Sciences ('Grant') enters into a Memorandum of Understanding with Diagnostic Technologies Ltd. ('DTL') to develop and commercialize Grant's cervical cancer-diagnostic technology

      Wednesday, April 12, 2006 09:35 ET

      LOS ANGELES, Apr 12, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Grant Life Sciences Inc.

      The proposed deal would include upfront payment of $250,000 to Grant, plus ongoing royalties upon commercialization of the resulting product; also, DTL will conduct and fund all development costs, including clinical trials, associated with the commercialization of the products developed from Grant's cervical cancer diagnostic technology

      Grant Life Sciences Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GLIF) announced today that it has entered into a Memo of Understanding (MOU) with Israel-based Diagnostic Technologies Ltd. (DTL) related to Grant's cervical cancer-diagnostic technology (U.S. Patent No. 6,743,593). Under the MOU, Grant will receive an upfront licensing fee of $250,000. In addition, the MOU calls for DTL to conduct all development at its own cost, including clinical trials, associated with the commercialization of the products developed from Grant's cervical cancer-diagnostic technology. Upon commercialization, DTL will pay Grant an ongoing royalty on sales of the products developed, according to the MOU.

      A definitive licensing agreement will be signed following appropriate due diligence and a feasibility test. Upon signing, DTL will immediately assume all of the costs associated with turning Grant's core technology related to cervical-cancer diagnostics into a commercially viable product. The diagnostic product based on Grant's technology will augment and complement DTL's suite of diagnostics aimed at the women's health market. Stan Yakatan, Grant's Chairman, together with DTL's Chairman, were instrumental in structuring this MOU, recognizing the considerable synergy of the relationship between the companies.

      "This event, once consummated, will represent a most important milestone in the evolution of our company," said Hun-Chi Lin, Ph.D., Grant's President and Chief Scientist. "To date, we have been hampered in our development of our cervical cancer-technology because of capital constraints. The large costs of development, as well as the considerable expenses associated with being a publicly traded company, have hampered our ability to expedite final development of our core technology. This affiliation with DTL will help us accomplish many of our goals and more readily assure success and hoped-for shareholder value appreciation."

      "We are happy with the opportunity to extend our current knowledge in developing diagnostic tools and means in the field of women's health to the field of cervical cancer and to fast-forward development and commercialization of a diagnostic product based on Grant's cervical cancer diagnosis technology," said Hamutal Meiri, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of DTL. "We hope that their technology will enable the detection of the presence of antibodies produced only by cancer-causing HPV-types and profile them." According to the National Cancer Institute there are some 100 types of HPV. However, only about 7 to 15 of these appear to cause cervical cancer, with certain HPV-types especially virulent in this regard. Cancer-causing HPV-types express certain unique proteins that help trigger the disease. The parties to the MOU believe that the product developed using Grant's technology can distinguish these cancer-causing proteins from those made by non-cancer-causing HPV-types. DTL therefore expects that using Grant's technology will enable it to determine whether a woman has cervical cancer or pre-cervical cancer conditions.

      "Upon consummation of this partnership with DTL, Grant will have the 'luxury' of being able to focus its efforts on boosting revenues from sales in Asia of its rapid AccuDx tests for Malaria and Dengue Fever," added Stan Yakatan, Chairman of Grant. "These products, along with its rapid AccuDx tests for HIV-1 and HIV-2, represent an impressive product portfolio, and Grant will be able to look to drive new-business development for Grant Life Sciences in Asia. In addition, the market for cervical cancer testing is enormous, and DTL intends to carry a focused and controlled development of this innovative non-invasive, protein-based diagnostic test."

      According to the American Cancer Society, the human papillomavirus (HPV) causes virtually all cervical cancer. Through its proprietary protein-based technology, the assay under development is intended to look at HPV in a fashion that identifies cervical cancer, its precursors or the likelihood of its presence. This immunotest includes antibodies especially associated with HPV-caused neoplasias or cancers that are detected with synthetic, proprietary peptides or amino acid sequences derived from certain proteins in the human papillomavirus.

      About Diagnostic Technologies Ltd. (DTL)

      DTL, based in Yokneam Illit, Israel, is a private company that has licensed from Technion a technology for using a highly sensitive immunoassay for the prediction of the risk to preeclampsia based on the quantitative determination of placental protein 13 (PP13) in maternal serum for prediction pregnancy disorders. The current test is aimed for the prediction of the risk for preeclampsia. According to the CDC, preeclampsia affects five to seven percent of all pregnant women and represents a serious challenge for obstetricians and prenatal and diagnostic laboratories. This threatening disorder can result in: loss of life; blindness; motor and mental disorders or premature newborns; pregnancy hypertension; and kidney, liver & cardiovascular malfunctioning. It is estimated that nearly $30 billion is spent today in healthcare costs to treat women with preeclampsia and their newborns. The company's in vitro ELISA-based test utilizes a simple blood test for the early prediction of preeclampsia, and it is now in clinical trials. TEUZA, an Israeli venture fund, is the major investor in the Company. On Jan. 31, 2006, PerkinElmer, Inc. (NYSE: PKI), a world leader in Health Sciences and Photonics, announced that it has secured the exclusive global rights to PP13 for identifying patients at risk for preeclampsia developed by DTL.

      The proposed deal would include upfront payment of $250,000 to Grant, plus ongoing royalties upon commercialization of the resulting product; also, DTL will conduct and fund all development costs, including clinical trials, associated with the commercialization of the products developed from Grant's cervical cancer diagnostic technology ....

      Ein Upmove von 20% würde mich heute nicht überraschen.

      Seit über 50 Jahren läuft das so ab:

      Der Pap-Test ist eine Methode zur Beurteilung von Zellen. Diese werden von Muttermund und Gebärmutterhals abgestrichen und anschließend unter dem Mikroskop untersucht. Der Name des Tests geht auf den Anatomen George Papanicolaou zurück, der die Methode in den USA entwickelte. Als Teil des Krebsfrüherkennungsprogramms wird der Zellabstrich von den gesetzlichen Krankenkassen bezahlt.

      Auch der Labortest ist nicht immer absolut zuverlässig:

      Da in der Praxis häufig mehrere Abstriche für die Erstellung des Befundes durchgeführt werden, liegt die Treffsicherheit des Tests bei ungefähr 90 Prozent. So genannte "falsch negative" Testergebnisse, bei denen vorliegende Veränderungen übersehen werden, lassen sich durch eine korrekte, den Vorschriften entsprechende Entnahme der Zellen und Auswertung des Abstrichs im Labor weitgehend vermeiden, aber nicht ganz verhindern.

      Der Test wird seit über 50 Jahren praktiziert.

      George Nicolas Papanicolaou (* 13. Mai 1883 in Kymi, Euböa, Griechenland; † 19. Februar 1962), griechisch Γεώργιος Παπανικολάου, war ein griechischer Arzt und Pathologe.

      Hat der alte Test dann ausgedient??

      New Screening Technologies

      Newer techniques that employ liquid-based cytology (e.g., ThinPrep) have been developed to improve the sensitivity of screening. As with the Papanicolaou (Pap) test, the optimal studies to determine the sensitivity and specificity of these technologies have not been done. Some less than optimal studies show that sensitivity is modestly higher for detecting any degree of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, with modestly lower specificity. [1] [2] One careful study, however, showed that conventional Pap testing was slightly more sensitive and specific than liquid-based cytology.

      Der liquid Test ist neuer, aber immer wieder wird hier noch eine Laboruntersuchung benötigt.

      Die Treffsicherheit der konventionellen gynäkologischen Zytologie liegt bei 80%. Falsch negative zytologische Befunde sind überwiegend auf unzulängliches Untersuchungsmaterial zurückzuführen. Der für die Diagnostik relevante Bereich wird beim Abstrich nicht erreicht und/oder die entnommenen Zellen gelangen unzureichend auf den Objektträger. Insbesondere beim Watteträger gehen 80% des Untersuchungsmaterial für die Diagnostik verloren.

      Ganz klar, es muss ein neuer Test her. GLIF ist gerade an der Arbeit.

      Wenn der alte Test 50 Euro kostet, und der von GLIF 25-30 Dollar kosten soll und zugleich ein hohes Maß an Zuverlässigkeit und zudem noch ein der Entnahme zeitnahes Ergebnis liefert......

      Dann wäre das Produkt günstiger, schneller in der Durchführung und einfacher zu handhaben.

      Fast schon ein "Krebstest to go".

      So soll es über 100 verschiedene HPV Viren geben. Es wird vermutet, dass nur 7 bis 15 in direkten zusammenhang mit dem Gebährmutterhalskrebs stehen. So lese ich dass. Das würde die hohe Fehlerquote der bisherigen Test mit erklären, oder?
