      FINANCIAL REVIEW

      Third quarter revenues increased by 13.0% over 1999 levels with all operating units contributing to this growth. Revenues declined as compared with the second quarter due to shipment delays at DRAXIMAGE andDRAXIS Pharma as a result of scheduled summer maintenance and impact of non-recurring sales in respect of divested product lines in Q2.

      Cost of sales increased to 63.8% of operating revenues compared with 58.5% last year, in part reflecting higher costs associated with temporary off-site lyophilization production for DRAXIMAGE. Selling, general and administration expenses of $3,181,000 in the third quarter decreased 11.1% as compared with last year.

      Income from operations before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of $422,000 for the third quarter compares with $399,000 last year.

      Net research and development expenditures totalled $698,000 for the current quarter as compared to $392,000 incurred in 1999.

      Depreciation and amortization of $2,094,000 during the third quarter compares with $1,943,000 for 1999. The increase is due to depreciation commencing on capital expenditures incurred in 1999 and the amount, in total, is equal to the amount incurred in the second quarter.

      Loss before income taxes and non-controlling interest includes a $190, 000 gain on the sale of product rights relating to the divestiture of the Kerasal(R) product line.

      Loss per share for the third quarter of $0.04 compares with a $0.03 loss reported in 1999.

      Cash and cash equivalents at September 30 were $10,099,000 as compared to June balances of $9,432,000. Working capital decreased by $1,793,000 and was offset by capital expenditures of $340,000 and repayment of long-term debt in the amount of $275,000.

      In October 2000, the Company purchased for cancellation 100,000 of its shares pursuant to its share buyback program at an average purchase price of $3.97. All purchases were completed through open market transactions on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

      1 In 2000, the Company changed its policy with respect to the accounting for non-refundable, up-front payments. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, this change has been applied prospectively commencing in Q1 2000. In accordance with Canadian GAAP, this change has been applied retroactively and prior periods have been restated.

      RADIOPHARMACEUTICALS

      Third quarter revenues from the Company`s radiopharmaceutical line of $2,171,000 increased 17.6% as compared to the same period last year but declined 17.0% versus the second quarter due to production related delays. Off-site lyophilized (cold kit) production continues to be constrained due to capacity issues. This situation is expected to improve significantly once the Company`s own lyophilization capacity comes on line.

      Segment EBITDA for the third quarter of $118,000 compares with $451, 000 earned last year, the reduction partly due to increased R&D expenditures incurred with respect to products under development and also caused by higher fixed costs associated with temporary off-site lyophilization production.

      In October 2000, the Company announced that it had received Canadian nuclear regulatory approval for BrachySeed(TM). With that approval obtained, the Company is cleared for the launch of BrachySeed(TM) in both the U.S. and Canada commencing in the fourth quarter.

      In the U.S., CYTOGEN Corporation (NASDAQ:CYTO) will market and distribute BrachySeed(TM). CYTOGEN has developed and markets Prostascint(TM), used to pre-screen and select patients for brachytherapy.

      CANADIAN PHARMACEUTICALS

      Despite the divestiture of the Company`s dermatology product lines earlier this year, third quarter revenues of $3,536,000 were 6.9% ahead of last year`s level due to sales of new products Zanaflex(R), Diastat(R) and Mysoline(R) and growing revenues for Alertec(R) and Permax(R).

      During the quarter, the Company completed the divestitures of the rights to its Kerasal(R) product line and realized a pre-tax gain of $190,000.

      Segment EBITDA for the third quarter of $1,226,000 compares with $724, 000 last year. The increase reflects higher neurology product sales and favourable timing of certain expenses.

      MANUFACTURING

      Third quarter total revenues of $4,889,000 were 27.6% ahead of 1999 due mainly to new contract manufacturing volumes.

      Segment EBITDA loss of $481,000 for the third quarter compares with a loss of $829,000 incurred in the corresponding quarter last year. The scheduled plant shutdown for maintenance occurred during the third quarter and resulted in temporary lower shipments and a corresponding increased loss as compared to the previous quarter.

      During the quarter, the Company announced the signing of a five-year supply agreement with Virco Pharmaceuticals for the production of Lanoxin(R), used in the treatment of heart failure and disturbances in heart rhythm.

      COMPANION ANIMAL HEALTH

      Revenues derived from the Company`s collaboration agreement with Pfizer with respect to Anipryl(R) increased 1.9% in the third quarter over 1999, which included royalty income of $578,000 as compared with $545,000 last year. Third quarter royalties increased 13.3% over second quarter results and represented the third consecutive quarter of increase.

      Segment EBITDA for the third quarter of $1,380,000 compares with $1, 456,000 for 1999 due to increases in expenses.

      In October, the Company announced that Brazilian approval for Anipryl(R) had been obtained. Brazil represents the fifth jurisdiction to approve Anipryl(R) following approvals in Canada, U.S., Australia and New Zealand.

      RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

      Research and development expenditures increased in the third quarter to $698,000 (net), almost double the amount for the same period last year. This reflects increased activity in development work with respect to Fibrimage(R) the Company`s deep venous thrombosis imaging agent now in Phase III, the completion of Phase I studies with Amiscan(R), an imaging agent for heart attacks, and regulatory work in relation to BrachySeed(TM).

      YEAR 2000 ISSUE (Y2K)

      The Company completed and adopted a detailed systems plan in July 1998. The central focus of this plan was the implementation of a state-of-the-art ERP system. This project was completed in the third quarter of 1999. Certain process control systems at DRAXIS Pharma were identified as having potential exposure to the Year 2000 risk. Rectification and testing of these systems were substantially completed by December 31, 1998. The Company believes that it is fully Year 2000 compliant for internal systems. Based on its evaluation and remediation efforts to date the Company does not believe that its products or mission critical databases, software and hardware systems will be substantially affected by Year 2000 issues.

      CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY

      The Company has adopted the new guidelines issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and contained in its Staff Accounting Bulletin # 101 (SAB 101) dated December 1999 with respect to the accounting for non-refundable up-front fees received in connection with collaboration agreements. Adoption of these guidelines constitutes a change in the Company`s accounting policies and, in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the changehas been applied retroactively with results of prior periods being restated.

      The new policy has been applied to the accounting for DRAXIS` global alliance with Pfizer Inc. with respect to Anipryl(R) as if it had been in place from the time the transaction was entered into in 1997. Accordingly, a portion of the US$28 million in milestone payments already received from Pfizer and previously reflected in revenue and income will be deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the period to December 31, 2006. $25 million of intangible asset values originally written off in 1997 as part of the transaction will be partially re-established and amortized over the same future period. For fiscal years 1999 and 2000, the impact of the change in policy has been an increase in quarterly revenues and net income by $1,168,000 and $330,000, respectively.

      The collaboration with CYTOGEN includes up-front milestone payments, royalties and a supply agreement. In accordance with the Company`s new accounting policy, the milestone payments will be established as deferred revenue and amortized over the 10-year term of the agreement.

      OUTLOOK

      Revenues and EBITDA at DRAXIMAGE over the next 12 months are expected to increase reflecting increased sales of existing products following the commissioning of new manufacturing capacity as well as new product introductions expected to take place late this year. Until DRAXIMAGE`s new lyophilization line enters production, the Company will remain affected by the availability of outsourced production.

      Anipryl(R) is expected to continue to contribute to earnings albeit at a slower rate of growth than originally expected.

      New third party manufacturing volume is expected to continue to come on line and will add additional throughput to the DRAXIS Pharma facility, helping this division move towards profitability. Following the completion of scheduled plant maintenance, shipments are expected to return to normal levels commencing in Q4.

      Following the sale of the Company`s dermatology product lines, DRAXIS Pharmaceutica`s revenues are expected to show a modest increase over 1999. Profitability is expected to be constrained in the short term by marketing costs associated with new product launches and higher R&D expenditures related with bringing DRAXIS Pharmaceutica`s pipeline through to regulatory approval.

      Und noch eine Kaufempfelung!!!!!!

      CYTO will be $10.00 by 10/17/2000
      (CYTO was $5.12 on 4/17/2000)
      A PROFITABLE BIOTECH FOR UNDER $5!!!!
      It`s important to find gems among the garbage when the market turns ugly. Cytogen appears to be just such a gem. 1997 reported a net loss of $.63/shr; 1998 saw a net loss of $.24/shr; and 1999 reported a PROFIT of $.02/shr. Obviously, we have a company going in the right direction. So what do they do? "Biopharmaceutical company CYTOGEN develops and markets products to improve the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and other diseases. Its products include ProstaScint, a diagnostic imaging agent for prostrate cancer; Quadramet, a bone pain treatment for cancers that have spread to the skeleton and can be seen on a bone scan; and OncoScint CR/OV, a diagnostic agent for colorectal and ovarian cancer. ProstaScint, Quadramet, and OncoScint are distributed worldwide by the company or through agreements with Bard, CIS Biointernational, and DuPont Pharmaceuticals." The charts suggest that there should be good support at the $5 level. Of course, should the market sell-off continue, lower levels may be reached. The worst case scenario could see $1 1/2. I don`t think this is likely given the company`s profitability. Look for a quick rebound to the $8-9 level.

      Independent Studies Underscore Clinical Utility of Cytogen`s ProstaScint Imaging Agent For Prostate Cancer
      PRINCETON, N.J., Nov 16, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- In two retrospective studies scheduled for presentation at the upcoming Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) in late November in Chicago, independent researchers plan to report on clinical advantages using ProstaScint(R), Cytogen Corporation`s (Nasdaq: CYTO ) imaging agent for the detection of metastatic prostate cancer. Reported benefits of using ProstaScint included:


      * improved treatment outcomes in those prostate cancer patients who were
      imaged with ProstaScint prior to selection of treatment,
      * enhanced diagnostic efficacy for metastatic disease with ProstaScint
      compared to bone scans in men with rising PSA (prostate specific
      antigen) after primary treatment for their cancer.

      "The results of these studies, along with previously published studies, reinforce the benefits of using ProstaScint in the diagnosis and treatment selection of prostate cancer patients," said Terry Novak, Cytogen`s Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "In both newly diagnosed and recurrent disease patients, the benefits of ProstaScint are clear."
      "ProstaScint scan was associated with different therapeutic decisions and more frequent successful patient outcome," concluded Yu Liu, MD, MSc, Department of Radiology, and colleagues at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Their findings were based on a retrospective study of 142 prostate cancer patients treated at the institution. Patients who received a ProstaScint scan typically received combination therapies more frequently (radical prostatectomy followed by radiation therapy or hormonal therapy, or radiation therapy as primary treatment combined with hormonal therapy) when ProstaScint- detected cancer localized to lymph nodes. Results of the study showed that a "successful outcome was found in 92% in the ProstaScint group compared with 70% in the control group." Findings were based on a durable PSA response at the time of follow-up twelve months after treatment. PSA is a biochemical marker whose increase suggests the recurrence of the cancer. "Results of the study indicate ProstaScint can provide additional information to oncologists in making a decision regarding the choice of effective treatment," said Dr. Liu, regarding his presentation entitled, "The effectiveness of ProstaScint scanning on prostate cancer outcome."

      Another retrospective study compared the rate of detection of prostate cancer metastases by ProstaScint and by bone scan. ProstaScint "identified 46 positives that bone scan did not, while the bone scan only found two positives that the In-mab [ProstaScint] scan did not." The study, led by Cherie T. Thomas, MD, Fellow in Radiation Oncology at the University of Michigan Medical Center, examined ProstaScint imaging results in 155 men, who had rising PSA levels, out of a total of 195 who had undergone primary therapy for prostate cancer. The report stated that "the findings ... are statistically significant and indicate that the indium-111-capromab pendetide [ProstaScint] scan results in more positive tests than radionuclide bone scintigraphy ... in the evaluation of disease recurrence." No correlation between PSA and positive ProstaScint scan was seen, a finding in keeping with the fact that ProstaScint provides information that is independent of and complementary to PSA. "ProstaScint scan, in conjunction with other diagnostic evaluation, can provide additional information useful in the selection of patients who may benefit from salvage therapy after failing primary treatment," said Dr. Howard S. Sandler, Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Michigan Medical Center and co-author of the paper. "Dr. Thomas` presentation is entitled, "Evaluation of agreement rates between radionuclide bone scintigraphy and radioimmunoscintigraphy with indium-111-capromab pendetide (ProstaScint) in patients with rising PSA after definitive prostrate cancer treatment."

      Four additional papers regarding ProstaScint are scheduled to be presented at the RSNA meeting and their abstracts were published in a recent supplement of Radiology, Volume 217. These other presentations are entitled, "In-111 ProstaScint imaging in prostate cancer," "Evaluation of false positives during In-111 ProstaScint immunoscintigraphy," "ProstaScint imaging in metastatic evaluation of patients cancer and assessment of post-prostatectomy recurrence," and "Combined CT/SPECT with dual-energy attenuation correction for quantitative ProstaScint imaging."

      Presentations mentioned in this press release reflect independent research and the view of the authors of such presentations.

      Auf der HP von CYTO und in den News - Programmen keine Nachrichten. Ich denke, dass es teilweise eine technische Reaktion war, zum anderen Teil bei vielen Biotech - Anlegern die Erkenntnis gekommen ist, dass ein Investment in hochbewertete Biotech - Titel, die nur von Fantasie leben, gefährlich sein kann.

      Ich glaube der Trend geht klar zu den Biotech - Titeln, die Produkte von der FED genehmigt bekommen haben und bereits vermarkten oder kurz vor der Vermarktung stehen.
      (Cytogen, Sciclone, Curis) und noch Fantasie durch ihre Produktpipeline mitbringen.

      PRINCETON, N.J. and MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, Dec 6, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Cytogen Corporation (Nasdaq: CYTO ) and Draxis Health, Inc. (Toronto: DAX; Nasdaq: DRAX) have finalized license, distribution and supply agreements for BrachySeed(TM) implants for prostate cancer therapy. Under the terms of the 10-year arrangement, Cytogen will market and distribute BrachySeed implants in the U.S. and Draxis` wholly owned subsidiary, Draximage, will supply radioactive seeds to Cytogen for sale in the U.S. Cytogen has agreed to certain minimum sales targets during the period of exclusivity and a non-compete provision.
      "Given our existing sales force coverage and established relationships with radiation oncologists and urologists, we believe that we are positioned to competitively participate in this growing brachytherapy seed market with BrachySeed," said Terence S. Novak, Cytogen`s Vice President of Marketing and Sales. "We believe that many brachytherapy centers in the U.S. will be early adopters of BrachySeed, and we look forward to introducing this product to new users. With BrachySeed, we plan to offer a second-generation, technologically advanced therapeutic product to complement ProstaScint(R), our prostate cancer imaging agent. This week Cytogen and Draxis are hosting a BrachySeed symposium for key opinion leaders in preparation for launching the product by year`s end."
      Brachytherapy is the fastest-growing treatment for early stage prostate cancer and offers a number of potential benefits compared to alternative treatments such as radical prostatectomy, including: rapid patient recovery, lower costs and reduced incidence of complications such as impotency and incontinence. Given this improved side-effect profile, the market for brachytherapy seeds has grown by 95% over the last three years. By 2003, the companies estimate that approximately half of all prostate cancer patients will opt for brachytherapy, while radical prostatectomies will be performed on less that 15% of patients. Independent estimates place the current brachytherapy market at $220 million in the U.S. and growing by approximately $100 million in three years.
      The Companies believe that the patented BrachySeed product demonstrates a number of important innovations over currently available technology, including double encapsulation for additional patient safety and a more uniform dosimetry to reduce "cold spots," areas within the target organ not reached by the radiation. Such cold spots may occur when seeds do not provide symmetrical and spherical fields of radiation. Next year Draxis plans to supply Cytogen with second-generation palladium-based seeds. The more energetic radiation from palladium is thought to be suitable for certain aggressive forms of prostate cancer. The original binding letter of intent between Cytogen and Draxis was announced in September.

      @ Dummschwaezer,

      der Rebound von CYTO entstand erst nach Börsenschluss in Europa.
      Ich habe ganz und gar nicht das Gefühl in die Sch.... gegriffen zu haben. Immerhin beginnt nun die Vermarktung von -3- FDA- genehmigten Medikamenten, dazu die Vermarktung eines Medikamentens in Lizenz (Draxis).

      Es wird sich sicherlich noch herausstellen, ob die Kasse klingelt und damit gute Quartalszahlen erreicht werden.
      CYTO hat in der Vergangenheit durch Investitionen hohe Verluste geschrieben. Ich denke zukünftig wird geernet. Ich halte CYTO mit der Pipeline an genehmigten Produkten auf dem derzeitigen Kursniveau hinsichtlich des Kursrisikos für wesentlich kalkulierbarer, als eine Firma mit mehreren Produkten in der Phase III ( siehe Maxim Pharmaceutical).

      PRINCETON, N.J., and MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, Dec 18, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Cytogen Corporation (Nasdaq: CYTO ) and Draxis Health, Inc. (Nasdaq: DRAX ; Toronto: DAX) announced today the first clinical use of BrachySeed(TM), a new type of iodine-125 brachytherapy implant, in both the U.S. and Canada. For the first time, physicians at major medical centers in both countries implanted the second-generation radioactive-iodine seeds in patients with prostate cancer.

      "Our first case with BrachySeed went very well," said Rodney J. Ellis, M.D., Director of Brachytherapy, University Hospitals of Cleveland. Dr. Ellis used two Cytogen products to perform the implant procedure. He combined ProstaScint images with CT (computer tomography) scans to locate the areas of highest tumor burden within the prostate gland and implanted additional BrachySeeds areas as required. "The implants provided superior coverage of the target volume of the prostate, with fewer required millicuries of radioactivity. The seed design is excellent, with good visualization by both ultrasound and fluoroscopy. Additionally, the cost for the procedure was reduced through a decrease in the required number of seeds."

      The first implantation in Canada was carried out by Eric Vigneault, M.D. at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Quebec. Dr. Vigneault stated, "BrachySeed permitted the use of 11% lower activity seeds to achieve the same therapeutic dose." The use of BrachySeed permits either a reduction in seed activity or seed quantity, which is an advantage over the current market leader.

      "BrachySeed now makes it possible for patients to receive a second- generation product for the treatment of their prostate cancer," said Terence S. Novak, Cytogen`s Vice President of Marketing and Sales. "The use of image- guided therapy employing both ProstaScint and BrachySeed underscores the complementary nature that our products play in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer."

      "As part of the pre-launch plan, Cytogen recently hosted an opinion leader workshop to introduce BrachySeed and image-guided therapy to radiation oncologists, physicists and urologists," continued Mr. Novak. "We were excited by the interest BrachySeed received from the key thought leaders in prostate cancer therapy. We believe that our implants will become a popular choice for many prostate cancer patients and their physicians and that ProstaScint will play an increasingly important role in prostate cancer therapy."

      Under the terms of a 10-year arrangement with DRAXIMAGE, a wholly owned subsidiary of Draxis, Cytogen will market and distribute BrachySeed in the U.S. DRAXIMAGE will supply radioactive seeds to Cytogen for sale in the U.S. and will market the product in Canada.

      Dr. Martin Barkin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Draxis Health stated, "We are very encouraged by the early feedback regarding BrachySeed, which serves to confirm Draximage`s position as a quality provider of innovative radiopharmaceutical products, both diagnostic and therapeutic, to the global marketplace. BrachySeed I-125 is the first of the major new products under development to emerge from DRAXIMAGE`s pipeline, and over the next few years the Company expects to bring other products to commercialization."

      BrachySeed is a second-generation implant therapy that the companies believe demonstrates a number of important innovations over currently available technology, including double encapsulation for additional patient safety and near perfect dosimetry to reduce "cold spots." Cold spots are areas within the target organ not reached by radiation, that may occur when seeds do not provide symmetrical and spherical fields of radiation.

      While brachytherapy has been available since the 1970s, it has only started to gain prominence and greater acceptance within recent years, coinciding with the development of advanced technologies to aid seed placement. Brachytherapy is the fastest growing treatment for early stage prostate cancer and offers a number of potential benefits compared to alternative treatments such as prostatectomy, including: rapid patient recovery, lower costs and reduced incidence of complications such as impotency and incontinence. Given this improved side-effect profile, the market for brachytherapy seeds has grown by 95% over the last three years. By 2003, the companies estimate that approximately half of all newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients will opt for brachytherapy, while radical prostatectomies will be performed on less than 15% of patients. Independent estimates place the current brachytherapy market at $220 million in the U.S. and growing by approximately $100 million in three years.

      Hallo liebe Cytogen - Fans,

      am gestrigen Handelstag wurde ein enormes Handelsvolumen von über 2 Millionen CYTOS verteilt. Ich bin guter Dinge, dass am gestrigen Tage institutionelle Anleger eingestiegen sind.
      Nachfolgend poste ich einen Beitrag aus clearstation.com. Tradergirl 527 bringt es auf den Punkt:

      Title : Interesting Post


      I can`t wait to see a turnaround here. I think things will look good soon also. Did anyone happen to watch CNBC just after the market closed today? They mentioned CYTO as having increased volume during the last half hour of trading. It seems there were fund managers out bargain shopping this afternoon--and CYTO was one of the bargains! Best Wishes to all for a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year! L.

      Euch allen ein frohes neues Jahr und steigende Kurse in 2001.

      PRINCETON, N.J., Jan 9, 2001 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Scientists at AxCell Biosciences Corporation, a subsidiary of Cytogen Corporation (Nasdaq:CYTO), have successfully mapped all of the interactions of the known proteins found in one of the estimated 60 to 80 protein domain families in the human body. This achievement represents the first domain map to be completed in the effort to develop a chart of all of the protein pathways in the human body, which medical scientists believe will have applications for the development of drug therapies for a wide range of diseases.

      Using advanced robotic screening techniques and data made available through the Human Genome Project (HGP), AxCell scientists have successfully identified more than 69,000 different protein interactions of the "WW domain," the name for one of the human body`s specific family of proteins. A domain is a structural site on a protein where interaction occurs with another protein.

      "This milestone in the effort to map the interaction of human proteins is extremely important for two reasons. First, it will provide important data for research right away. Second, it reinforces our strong belief that AxCell Biosciences will be able to complete the entire human protein interaction model using our robotic screening technique," said John D. Rodwell, Ph.D., acting president and chief technical officer of AxCell Biosciences.

      Proteins in the human body interact using signaling pathways that, in turn, regulate cellular activity such as the transmission of nerve impulses, secretion of hormones or the triggering of cell replication. Aberrations in protein interactions play a role in the progress of diseases including cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular and neurological disorders, among many others. Aberrations in the WW protein domain family specifically have been implicated in health problems ranging from hypertension and muscular dystrophy to immunodeficiency.

      "AxCell has provided an interesting dataset for understanding protein signaling pathways," said Leroy Hood, M.D., Ph.D., founder, president and director of the Institute for Systems Biology in Seattle, WA, and one of the earliest advocates of the Human Genome Project. "This achievement, a systems analysis of the WW domain family, provides important new information on protein signaling pathways which could have implications for their role in a broad range of diseases."

      Because protein signaling pathways play a role in many diseases, scientists are working to develop drugs that specifically target these pathways. While some interactions are likely to have positive clinical results, others can lead to unwanted drug side effects and toxicity. By referring to a chart of the body`s protein interactions, researchers may be better able to identify drugs that target pathways related to a specific disease while avoiding those pathways associated with unwanted side effects.

      "By charting all of the protein pathways within human cells, AxCell will be able to offer medical researchers a better understanding of protein interactions and their role in human health. Our human protein map promises to change the way pharmaceuticals are developed in the years ahead, with significant benefits for researchers and patients," Dr. Rodwell said.

      In addition to the completion of the WW domain family map, research at AxCell has also led to several other important findings, including the identification of a significant number of previously unrecorded protein interactions. In 1999 AxCell was awarded a U.S. patent for the identification of previously undiscovered proteins in the WW domain family. The company expects to make substantial progress toward complete mapping of two additional protein domains -- the PDZ and SH3 domains -- in 2001. The PDZ and SH3 domains have been implicated in cancer, inflammatory disease, cardiovascular disease and stroke.

      "The completion of the map of the WW domain is very exciting, but it`s also just a first step in our ongoing effort to complete the entire map of human protein signaling interactions. We expect many more important discoveries along the way, and are on target to complete this project and make these data available to medical researchers and healthcare companies around the world," said Brian R. Bullard, vice president and chief information officer at AxCell.

      To make these findings available to researchers, AxCell, along with partner InforMax, Inc., a leading global provider of bioinformatics software solutions, plan to conduct pre-launch and market activities of the InterFunctional Proteomics(TM) (IFP) Database early in 2001. The IFP Database will be designed to make these important findings available to subscribing medical and scientific researchers around the world on a commercial basis.

      As more data from the HGP are made public, information related to the WW domain and all other protein domain families will continue to expand. The robotic screening process developed by AxCell makes it possible to incorporate new data quickly and update information available through the IFP Database.

      AxCell Biosciences, a subsidiary of Cytogen Corporation, is a leader in the effort to chart protein signaling pathways in the human proteome as a means of discovering new drug tar gets. In conjunction with InforMax, AxCell is developing a proprietary protein-pathway database, the Inter-Functional Proteomic Database(TM) (IFP Database), as a discovery and development tool for subscribers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and agricultural industries.

      ich gebe Dir recht, ca. 45 % in zwei Tagen ist schon beängstigend. Ich hoffe, dass institutionelle Anleger eingestiegen sind ( ca. 2,3 Mio. Aktien an zwei Börsentagen).

      Ich bin bei CYTO zuversichtlich, da neben der Vermarktung von - 4 - erfolgversprechenden Produkten, die Meldungen
      vom 22.12.2000 und vom gestrigen TAge hinsichtlich der Protein - Maps von CYTO`s Tochtergesellschaft und der Kooperation mit Proteonics und Compaq für Fantasie sorgt.

      Von unseren Amerikanischen Kollegen!

      From yesterday`s Boston Globe:
      John Sullivan, a research analyst with investment bank Stephens Inc. in Boston, said he believes the big winners of 2001 will be companies specializing in proteomics, the science of proteins. While sequencing of the human genome fueled enthusiasm for biotech, understanding proteins is what will allow companies to turn gene-related discoveries into drugs.

      @ Dummschwaezer,

      Deine Frage ist derzeit schwierig zu beurteilen. Der Biotech - Index ist immer noch nahe dem Abwärtstrend. Sollte dieser nach unten durchbrochen werden, wird es auch mit CYTO wieder abwärts gehen.

      Grundsätzlich zeichnet sich ab, dass BIOS aus der 2. und 3. Reihe stärker aufholen als die Blues. Das liegt m.E. zum einen an dem starken Rückschlagpotential der Werte aus der 1. Reihe, zum zweiten daran, dass sich viele Anleger darüber im klaren sind, dass die heutigen Kandidaten der 1. Reihe vor einem JAhr da waren, wo heute eine CYTO, SCLN, Avan, Xoma , Curis etc. steht.

      Viele BIOS der 2. und 3. Reie haben eine prall gefüllte Pipeline.


      Cytogen will expandieren und hat mitgeteilt, dass folgende FDA - genehmigte Produkte vermarktet werden:

      ProstaScint(R) Prostata Krebs;
      OncoScint(R) CR/OV, Krebs ;
      Quadramet(R), Schmerzbehandlung Krebs
      BrachySeed(TM) Prostata Krebs ( Vermarktungsrechte wurden von Draxis Health erworben)

      und neu !!!!

      Vermarktungsrechte in den USA für
      Combidex(R), Lymphknotenkrebs


      Dazu dürften aus der Axcell - Forschung Einnahmen aus dem Verkauf der Katalogisierung der Protein - Ketten kommen. Da eine Kooperation diesbezüglich mit Proteonics und Compaq geschlossen wurde, ist zu vermuten, dass die Protein-Maps als Komplettsystem verkauft werden.

      Aus all den o.g. Medikamenten sind noch keine (oder fast keine) Einnahmen in die Earnings eingeflossen. Nun könnte es im Laufe 2001 eine Überraschung geben, indem CYTO den Breakeven erreicht. Die US - Boards sind hinsichtlich CYTO fast euphorisch. DIe Umsätze sind derzeit auch ok.

      Mein persönliches KZ bis Mitte 2001 liegt - positive Marktlage vorausgesetzt bei 12 Euro. Das sind zwar nur 50 % des 52 - Wochen - Hochs, jedoch waren die Kurse von Februar, März 2000 m.E. übertrieben.

      Title : Potential Of CYTO

      If everyone recalls when computers were first invented and how stock prices of computer companies sky rocketed you can now see where genomics and proteomics are at. This is the hottest technology in the biotech field and it`s future is tremendous. This is going to be the awnser according to most experts to medical cures in the areas of cancer and other diseases. I have never felt so confident in the future of this science that you could say I put my money where my mouth is. Momentum continues in the stock price as more and more investors are learning about this exciting field and what it`s going to do for the medical field. For these reasons I would be a strong buyer of the stock.

      Ich glaube allerdings, dass jetzt kurzfristig einige Gewinnmitnahmen stattfinden werden, denn zumindest am amerikanischen Markt ist die Aktie stark überkauft. Ich bleib aber auf jeden Fall drin.

      Positiv ist natürlich, dass die "Kleinen" an der Nasdaq notierten, den Index hochhalten trotzdem die "Dicken" nicht so gut laufen.

      Es ist schön zu beobachten das bei relativ
      hohem Volumen (um die 1 Mio.) die CYTO
      sich im positivem Bereich aufhält und zulegen kann.
      Im Moment wird wieder kräftig gekauft, ich
      glaube das Wort heißt akkumuliert.
      Ab 6$ ist doch der Weg frei nach oben, oder?
      Wie seht ihr denn die Entwicklung.

      Cytogen Reports Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2000 Results

      Significant Advances in Mapping the Human Proteome and a Continued Investment
      In Oncology and Proteomics Highlight the Company`s Achievements in 2000

      Annual Financial Results are Impacted by One-Time
      Accounting Charges and Other Non-Operating Items

      PRINCETON, N.J., Feb. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Cytogen Corporation (Nasdaq: CYTO) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and the year ended December 31, 2000. For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2000, the Company reported a net loss of $2.4 million or $0.03 per share, compared to net income of $1.3 million or $0.02 per share for the fourth quarter of 1999. For the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company reported a net loss of $27.3 million or $0.37 per share as compared to net income of $729,000 or $0.01 per share for 1999. Excluding the impact of certain one-time charges such as the implementation of the SEC`s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), as discussed below, and the acquisition of certain marketing and technology rights from Advanced Magnetics, Inc., the Company`s reported loss would have been $9.7 million or $0.13 per share for 2000.

      "During 2000, we continued to build upon the Company`s core competencies in proteomics and oncology," stated H. Joseph Reiser, Ph.D., Cytogen`s President and Chief Executive Officer. "We significantly accelerated our mapping of the human proteome by investing additional resources in our proteomics subsidiary, AxCell Biosciences. We believe this investment was sound and we eagerly anticipate the launch of our proteomics database product with our marketing partner, InforMax, Inc.

      "On the oncology side of the business," Dr. Reiser continued, "we invested heavily in building a well-trained, oncology focused sales force. In order to leverage our investment in the sales force, we in-licensed BrachySeeda, an FDA approved product for use in treating prostate cancer. In order to build a product pipeline, we in-licensed two product candidates, Combidex(R) and Code 7228, two magnetic resonance imaging agents, for oncology applications. I believe the investments made during 2000 will create a more dynamic and valuable Cytogen in the future."

      In the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company, in common with other biotechnology companies, implemented SAB 101 which requires certain up-front, non-refundable revenues to be deferred and recognized over future periods. The cumulative effect of the adoption of SAB 101 in the first quarter and year ended 2000 resulted in a one-time, non-cash charge of $4.3 million or $0.06 per share. Following the adoption of SAB 101, the deferred revenues associated with the one-time charge will be recognized in future accounting periods as a component of licensing and contract revenues. The SAB 101 adjustment resulted from the up-front licensing fees, net of associated expenses, received from Berlex Laboratories, Inc. in October 1998 related to the licensing of Quadramet and up-front licensing fees recognized in June 1999 relating to certain applications of the Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen technology which was licensed to a joint venture formed by the Company and Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

      The fourth quarter of 2000 was adversely effected by $1.1 million or $0.01 per share related to the reduced allotment of New Jersey state tax benefits that the Company was able to sell in accordance with the Tax Technology Program (the "Program") sponsored by the State of New Jersey. The amount of state tax benefits available for sale was reduced compared to last year due to decreased overall state funding for the Program as well as an increase in the number of participants in the Program. In the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company recognized $2.7 million from the sale of these benefits versus $1.6 million in 2000.

      Revenues for the fourth quarter totaled $2.6 million versus $2.1 million for the comparable prior year period, an increase of 27 percent. The increase in revenues was attributable to continued growth in the sale of ProstaScint, a prostate cancer imaging agent as well as significant growth in royalties derived from the sale of Quadramet, a cancer therapeutic agent, and the recognition of deferred license revenue of $215,000 relating to the adoption of the SAB 101.

      Sales of the Company`s products, ProstaScint and OncoScint, increased 25% to $2.0 million in the fourth quarter versus $1.6 million for the comparable prior year period. For the year 2000, product sales grew to $7.4 million from $7.0 million, an increase of 6%. The Company assumed sole responsibility for the marketing and selling of ProstaScint from its former partner, the Urological Division of C.R. Bard Co., at the beginning of the third quarter of 2000. The Company believes that its investment in its sales force will continue to drive the growth of ProstaScint in future quarters. In January 2001, the Company`s oncology sales force began marketing BrachySeed(TM), a prostate cancer therapeutic agent, whose U.S. marketing rights were licensed from Draximage, Inc.

      During 2000, sales of Quadramet by Berlex increased 89% compared to the prior year, resulting in a significant increase in royalty revenues by the Company. The sales increase is attributable to increased market penetration and acceptance since Quadramet`s re-launch by Berlex in March 1999. For the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2000, royalty revenues were $476,000 and $2.0 million, versus $354,000 and $1.1 million, respectively, for the comparable prior year periods. Berlex has initiated a Phase III clinical trial to evaluate the use of Quadramet earlier in the pain management cycle. If this trial is successful, the Company plans to seek expansion of the FDA approved indication of Quadramet for use in delaying the onset of pain in patients with metastatic bone lesions.

      For the year 2000, revenues totaled $10.5 million versus $11.2 million for the prior year, a decrease of $700,000. This decrease was attributable to the phase out of the contract manufacturing business during 1999 which generated $600,000 in revenues and the recognition in 1999 of an up-front license fee of $1.8 million from Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. partially offset by the growth in ProstaScint sales and Quadramet royalties and the recognition of deferred license revenue relating to the adoption of SAB 101 during 2000.

      Total on-going operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2000 were $6.9 million versus $3.8 million in the comparable prior year period. On-going operating expenses for the full year were $22.4 million versus $15.7 million for 1999. The fourth quarter increases were principally due to pre-launch marketing costs associated with the acquisition and January 2001 launch of the BrachySeed(TM) prostate cancer product, continued investment in the proteomics business at AxCell Biosciences as well as increased marketing and sales efforts for the Company`s existing products. For the full year, the increased operating expenditures reflect the Company`s increased research effort related to its proteomics business at AxCell, the investment in its own dedicated oncology sales force, costs associated with the termination of the merger agreement with Advanced Magnetics, Inc., stock based compensation for a key employee as well as additional staffing and related relocation costs.

      During 2000, the Company acquired from Advanced Magnetics, Inc. the U.S. marketing rights to two novel, diagnostic pharmaceutical product candidates for use in magnetic resonance imaging. In connection with this acquisition, the Company recorded a one-time charge of $13.2 million, of which $13.1 million was non-cash, since these product candidates are in development. In 1999, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $1.2 million related to the acquisition of Prostagen, Inc.

      At the end of 2000, the Company had $12.0 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments on hand versus $12.4 million at the end of 1999. The Company also recorded a $1.6 million receivable at the end of 2000 relating to the sale of certain New Jersey income tax benefits, which were received in early January. The Company has in place a $70 million equity financing facility from Acqua Wellington North American Equities Fund, Ltd. Pursuant to this facility, the Company received $6.5 million in early February from a direct equity placement and issued 1,276,557 shares of registered common stock at a small discount to the market price.

      Data on Protein Interactions in Humans to Be Available Through New Product from InforMax and AxCell Biosciences

      ROCKVILLE, Md. and PRINCETON, N.J., Feb. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- A broad range of information related to protein-protein interactions in the human body, including data on the WW Domain, the first human protein family to be mapped successfully, will be available through a new product to be launched by InforMax, Inc. (Nasdaq: INMX) and AxCell Biosciences, a subsidiary of Cytogen Corporation (Nasdaq: CYTO). (Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20001115/INFORMAXLOGO )

      In collaboration with AxCell Biosciences, InforMax has developed a Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) module for the GenoMax(TM) enterprise bioinformatics system, a modular platform of advanced analysis programs for genomic and proteomic applications, and successfully integrated the Inter-Functional Proteomic Database(TM), AxCell`s growing database of human protein interactions. AxCell has developed technology that provides both qualitative and quantitative information about a wide range of protein-protein interactions. This information is being used to continually update the data available through the Inter-Functional Proteomic (IFP) Database, for which InforMax has exclusive distribution rights.

      The integration of GenoMax with the IFP Database will be demonstrated publicly for the first time at the CHI Genome Tri-Conference in San Francisco, CA, from March 3-9, 2001. InforMax and AxCell expect the product to be available for commercial use in the second quarter of this year.

      Proteins in the human body interact using signaling pathways that, in turn, regulate cellular activity such as the transmission of nerve impulses, secretion of hormones or the triggering of cell replication. Aberrations in protein interactions play a role in the progress of diseases including cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular and neurological disorders, among many others. Aberrations in the WW protein domain family specifically have been implicated in health problems ranging from hypertension and muscular dystrophy to immunodeficiency.

      "At the heart of many diseases are disruptions or alterations in protein-protein interaction networks," said Alex Titomirov, Ph.D., InforMax chief executive officer and chairman. "In order to better identify the complex interacting pathways involved in most cellular processes, scientists need to visualize these protein-protein interactions and correlate them with available sequence, expression, and functional information. The integration of our software with the AxCell database will allow subscribers to use this valuable information to obtain more complete answers to biologically relevant questions."

      In January 2001, AxCell announced that company scientists had completed the map of interactions in the WW Protein Domain, representing the first of the body`s 60-80 protein domains to be mapped successfully. AxCell expects to make substantial progress toward complete mapping of two additional protein domains -- the PDZ and SH3 domains -- in 2001. The PDZ and SH3 domains have been implicated in cancer, inflammatory disease, cardiovascular disease and stroke.

      The GenoMax Protein-Protein Interaction Module features new visual and analytical tools for the access and enhancement of the IFP data, including:

      * a Graphical Affinity Matrix Viewer that clearly identifies the matrix
      of protein interactions;

      * a Protein Network Viewer that identifies specific protein interaction
      pathways;

      * the ability to filter, sort, and cluster data to target specific
      relationships;

      * the ability to save selected protein networks into the Oracle(R)
      database for analysis;

      * the ability to view sequence information for any molecules in a
      pathway; and

      * complete integration with all GenoMax modules.


      "We are very excited that AxCell`s findings in mapping protein interactions, including the data from the WW Domain, will be available through GenoMax. This collaboration will bring the exciting research information in the IFP database to leaders in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries as we move closer to our goal of completing the map of all human protein interactions," said Brian R. Bullard, AxCell vice president and chief information officer. About InforMax

      Cytogen Reports Successful Launch of BrachySeed(TM); Several Long Term Purchasing Agreements Signed

      PRINCETON, N.J., Feb. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Following the January launch of BrachySeed, a second-generation radioactive iodine implant for the treatment of prostate cancer, Cytogen Corporation (Nasdaq: CYTO) has recently signed long term purchasing agreements with several leading prostate cancer treatment centers in the U.S. for the use of the product. Cytogen completed the agreements soon after initiating extensive pre-marketing activities, including an educational symposium attended by the leading brachytherapy specialists in the country.

      "In addition to our extensive pre-marketing activities, our sales force has been actively promoting BrachySeed and their efforts are already paying off. The recent commitments confirm the unique characteristics of BrachySeed`s design and its role as the only second-generation seed on the market," said Terry Novak, Cytogen`s Vice President of Marketing and Sales.

      In addition to BrachySeed, the company reports that ProstaScint has also been included in selected purchasing agreements. ProstaScint is the only monoclonal antibody imaging agent available for detecting the spread of prostate cancer. "BrachySeed and ProstaScint together represent better ways to diagnose, stage and treat prostate cancer. The fact that both products have been included in agreements reinforces the synergies that have been created by the addition of BrachySeed to Cytogen`s prostate cancer product portfolio. We expect product sales to continue to grow as we complete negotiations with other centers," said Mr. Novak. Cytogen licensed BrachySeed`s exclusive U.S. marketing rights from Draximage, Inc. in October of 2000.

      BrachySeed is a second-generation radioactive pellet that is directly implanted into the prostate to treat localized prostate cancer. Because BrachySeed is robotically manufactured each seed is of the same high quality and accuracy. BrachySeed`s unique central weld provides enhanced visualization and safety and delivers more uniform dimensional characteristics and radiation dose pattern than other currently available seeds.

      In one of the recently signed agreements, ProstaScint was selected as the key diagnostic agent in a best practice pathway designed to optimize the treatment of prostate cancer in over 1,500 patients.

      "The inclusion of ProstaScint in the best practice pathway validates its clinical utility in detecting the spread of prostate cancer in patients with recurrent disease and in newly diagnosed high risk patients. One of our most important objectives now will be to help more high risk and recurrent disease patients realize the value of having a ProstaScint scan," Mr. Novak added. ProstaScint has also been included in the recently published National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Practice Guidelines for Prostate Cancer.

      Progenics Pharmaceuticals and Cytogen Create Fully Human Monoclonal Antibodies for Prostate Cancer Therapy through Collaboration With Abgenix

      NEW ORLEANS, March 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: PGNX) and Cytogen Corporation (Nasdaq: CYTO) have successfully created human monoclonal antibodies, using XenoMouse(TM) technology from Abgenix, Inc. (Nasdaq: ABGX), that target prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA), a marker found on prostate cancer cells. The Progenics-Cytogen joint venture, the PSMA Development Company LLC, has entered into a collaboration with Abgenix to use the company`s XenoMouse technology for generating fully human antibodies to PSMA. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed. The scientific findings were announced today by Progenics at the Annual Meeting of the American Association of Cancer Research in New Orleans.

      Human monoclonal antibodies are laboratory-produced "clones" of antibodies that are formed by the body in response to specific antigens or "foreign" invaders. Antigens are found on the surface of infectious agents, tumor cells, or foreign tissue cells. The Progenics-Cytogen joint venture plans to develop three approaches to human monoclonal antibodies -- either "naked," linked to toxins or radio-labeled -- capable of selectively targeting and destroying PSMA-expressing cancer cells. Clinical trials in prostate cancer patients of a human monoclonal antibody to PSMA are scheduled to begin next year.

      "Because PSMA is abundantly expressed on prostate cancer cells, it is an attractive target for antibody-based immunotherapies," said Warren D. W. Heston, Ph.D., Director of the Research Program in Prostate Cancer at The Cleveland Clinic Foundation, and the discoverer of PSMA. "We believe that the highly specific interaction between these human antibodies and prostate cancer cells may result in potent new therapies for this deadly disease. Compared with mouse or part-mouse monoclonal antibodies, fully human monoclonal antibodies are preferred for therapy, because they persist longer in the body and are less likely to be recognized as foreign, allowing for repeated dosing as needed to complete a successful course of treatment."

      "Our new collaboration with Progenics Pharmaceuticals and Cytogen is further evidence of the growing interest of biopharmaceutical companies in generating novel therapeutic antibody product candidates using XenoMouse technology," said R. Scott Greer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Abgenix. "In cancer therapy, such antibodies hold the promise of locating and destroying cancer cells that may go undetected or are inaccessible to surgery or radiation therapy, with minimal side effects compared to conventional chemotherapy."

      Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among men in the United States, exceeded only by lung cancer. The American Cancer Society estimates that during 2001, approximately 198,100 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed in the U.S., and 31,500 will die of this disease. About 11% of men with prostate cancer are at high risk for metastatic spread of the disease, and nearly 40% have local recurrence of the disease.

      In addition to the antibody strategy described above, the joint venture between Progenics and Cytogen is also pursuing a parallel program for the development of therapeutic vaccines which target PSMA and are directed at stimulating a patient`s immune system to eradicate his own cancer. The companies anticipate that a prostate cancer vaccine currently in late stage pre-clinical development could be tested in patients later this year. Company Profiles

      About AxCell Biosciences

      AxCell Biosciences Corporation is conducting research and development in functional proteomics, the identification of protein interactions and signaling pathways within cells and their relationship to disease processes. Proteomics research efforts can be categorized as structural and functional. Structural proteomics, or protein expression, measures the number and types of proteins present in normal and diseased cells. This approach is useful in defining the structure of proteins in a cell. Some of these proteins may be targets for drug discovery. However, the role of the protein in the disease is still not defined. AxCell`s proteomics business is focused upon functional proteomics, the study of proteins` biological activities. An important function of proteins is the transmission of signals using intricate pathways populated by proteins which interact with one another. Elucidating the role proteins play in these signaling pathways allows a better understanding of their function in cellular behavior and permits identification of potential drug targets. Protein-protein interactions form the core of the Company`s ProChart(TM) Database. AxCell`s plans to offer ProChart(TM) to the pharmaceutical industry as a tool to accelerate the drug discovery process. For additional information on AxCell Biosciences, visit www.axcellbio.com.

      New Proteomics Database Identifying Protein Interactions in the Human Body Introduced in Europe by AxCell Biosciences and InforMax
      /FROM PR NEWSWIRE PHILADELPHIA 800-523-4424/ INMX CYTO MTC PDT TO BUSINESS AND MEDICAL EDITORS:

      New Proteomics Database Identifying Protein Interactions in the Human Body
      Introduced in Europe by AxCell Biosciences and InforMax

      ProChart Database(TM) to Make Axcell`s Research in Mapping Interactions In
      All of the Body`s 60-80 Protein Domain Families Available for Drug Discovery
      And Other Medical Research Using GenoMax(TM) Advanced Bioinformatics Software

      Database Includes AxCell`s Map of WW Domain, First Protein Domain Family Ever
      To be Mapped, Which is Believed to Affect Health Problems Including
      Hypertension, Muscular Dystrophy and Immunodeficiency.


      PRINCETON, N.J., April 24 /PRNewswire Interactive News Release/ -- The new ProChart(TM) Database of protein interactions in the human body will be introduced in Europe this week, it was announced today by AxCell Biosciences Corporation, a subsidiary of Cytogen Corporation (Nasdaq: CYTO), and InforMax, Inc. (Nasdaq: INMX).

      The database will include the results of AxCell`s successful effort to map all of the interactions of one of the body`s 60-80 protein domain families. In January, 2001, AxCell announced the completion of the map of the WW Protein Domain, which is believed to have an impact on health problems including hypertension, muscular dystrophy and immunodeficiency. AxCell is working to complete the map of all signal transduction protein interactions in the human body within four years.

      In March, AxCell introduced ProChart in six cities across the United States using InforMax`s Protein-Protein Interaction Analysis (PPI) module, which will be available in the next release of the GenoMax(TM) enterprise bioinformatics platform, the proprietary advanced bioinformatics software from InforMax.

      ProChart is a database of protein-to-protein interactions, created using AxCell`s patented, high-throughput technology, which differs from the most widely used method for studying protein interactions called yeast two-hybrid (Y2H). InforMax is currently marketing the ProChart Database to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries through multi-year subscriptions.

      Marketing activities for ProChart in Europe begin with presentations at IBC`s Drug Discovery Technology 2001, the multidisciplinary biopharmaceutical conference held April 23-26 in Stuttgart, Germany. AxCell will also again participate in a seminar series with our marketing partner, InforMax. The series is scheduled for May in Europe with further details released by InforMax shortly.

      Scientists at AxCell identified more than 69,000 different protein interactions of the WW domain, the name for one of the human body`s specific family of proteins and the initial family offered to ProChart database subscribers. In the future, AxCell anticipates adding PDZ and SH3, two domain families involved with diseases such as stroke, Alzheimer`s, diabetes, cancer, HIV and osteoporosis. The Company will also chart increasingly greater portions of the proteome and add these results to ProChart. Subscription rates will be based on the amount and quality of data available.

      "We have been quite pleased with the interest in ProChart in the U.S.," said Brian R. Bullard, vice president and chief information officer of AxCell Biosciences. "Our technology can positively impact numerous steps in research and development, such as target identification and validation, which we believe will offer high value to ProChart customers."

      In addition to the high-profile Drug Discovery Technology 2001 conference, AxCell will be presenting at a number of future events, such as the IBC Proteomics 2001 Conference in Philadelphia in May, and Cambridge Healthtech`s HTT Expo in Philadelphia in June and Beyond Genome 2001 Conference in San Francisco, also in June. InforMax is continuing with the U.S. marketing activities for ProChart in the United States, with initial sales contacts and follow-up scheduled for the remainder of 2001. About Cytogen

      Cytogen Reports First Quarter 2001 Results; Product Sales Advance 25% Over the Prior Year`s Quarter

      PRINCETON, N.J., April 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Cytogen Corporation (Nasdaq: CYTO) today reported its consolidated financial results for the first quarter period ended March 31, 2001. The Company reported a net loss of $2.65 million or $0.03 per share, compared to a net loss of $6.06 million or $0.08 per share for the first quarter of 2000. The loss for the first quarter of 2000 includes a one-time charge related to the adoption of the SEC`s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101") of $4.31 million or $0.06 per share.

      Product sales increased from $1.87 million in the first quarter of 2000 to $2.34 million in the first quarter of 2001, an increase of 25%. Quadramet(R) royalty revenue for the first quarter of 2001 was $441,000, slightly below the $498,000 achieved in the first quarter of 2000. This decrease was partially due to a temporary, weather-related disruption in the supply of Quadramet from the manufacturer of the product during 2001, which has been resolved.

      Commenting on the results, H. Joseph Reiser, Ph.D., Cytogen`s president and chief executive officer, said, "We continue to be encouraged by the growth in product sales over the prior year`s quarter, reflecting our evolution into a biopharmaceutical company with multiple product opportunities and the establishment of an in-house oncology sales force to promote our products to urologists, radiation oncologists and nuclear medicine physicians.

      "ProstaScint(R), our prostate cancer imaging agent, recorded its highest level of quarterly unit sales since the product was launched in 1997. We are building on this momentum by capitalizing on the synergies inherent between ProstaScint and BrachySeed(TM), a second-generation radioactive seed implant used to treat prostate cancer that is currently in its launch phase. In addition, we are working to expand the applications and markets for ProstaScint, such as performing image-guided therapy and obtaining more accurate prostate biopsies.

      "Our marketing partner, Berlex Laboratories, Inc., continues to explore expanded uses for Quadramet in combination with other therapies commonly used to treat bone metastases, including chemotherapies, bisphosphonates and external beam radiation therapy. Future clinical trials, if successful, may significantly expand the market for Quadramet.

      "As communicated previously, the market for OncoScint CR/OV(R) as a colorectal cancer diagnostic has been negatively affected by positron emission tomography or `PET` scans, which may produce the same or higher sensitivity than OncoScint. The decline in OncoScint revenue, however, was partially offset by early sales of BrachySeed from its initial launch phase.

      "During the quarter, our proteomics subsidiary AxCell Biosciences, announced that it has successfully mapped the first protein domain family, the WW domain, believed to affect health problems including hypertension, muscular dystrophy and immunodeficiency. In addition, AxCell introduced the ProChart(TM) database of protein interactions in the human body using InforMax`s Protein-Protein Interaction Analysis (PPI) module, which will be available in the next release of the GenoMax(TM) enterprise bioinformatics platform, the proprietary advanced bioinformatics software from InforMax, Inc.

      "Finally, during the quarter we strengthened our cash resources through a draw down on an Equity Financing Facility with Acqua Wellington North American Equities Fund, Ltd., for aggregate proceeds of $6.5 million," Dr. Reiser concluded.

      Cytogen`s cash and cash equivalents at the end of the first quarter 2001 were $14.27 million compared to $11.99 million as of December 31, 2000.

      Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2001 increased 29% to $5.82 million compared to $4.50 million in the first quarter of 2000, reflecting research and development efforts for AxCell`s proteomics program and increased selling and marketing expenses due to the Company`s efforts to expand its in-house sales force including costs associated with the January 2001 launch of BrachySeeds, radioactive implants used to treat prostate cancer.

      Effective January 1, 2000, Cytogen adopted SAB 101, which requires up-front, non-refundable license fees to be deferred and recognized over future periods. As a result of the adoption of SAB 101, certain up-front, non-refundable license fees recognized in prior periods have been deferred and are being recognized over the terms of the relevant agreements. In the first quarter of 2000, Cytogen recorded a one-time, non-cash charge of $4.31 million representing the cumulative effect of this accounting change. Previously reported results for the first quarter of 2000 have been restated to reflect the adoption of SAB 101. About Cytogen

      Progenics Pharmaceuticals and Cytogen Report Positive Immune System Responses From Prostate Cancer Vaccine
      - Body`s own defenses mobilized to kill cancer cells -
      SAN FRANCISCO, May 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: PGNX - news) and Cytogen Corporation (Nasdaq: CYTO - news) today announced that in preclinical studies their experimental prostate cancer vaccine generated a potent dual-immune response against PSMA (prostate specific membrane antigen), a well-recognized marker found on prostate cancer cells. The new PSMA-based therapeutic vaccine, which employs the body`s own defense mechanisms to identify and destroy prostate cancer cells, yielded both antibodies and killer T cells, the two principal mechanisms used by the immune system to eliminate harmful cells. The findings were presented yesterday by Progenics at the 37th Annual Meeting of The American Society of Clinical Oncology in San Francisco.

      (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20010410/PROGENICS )
      ``T cell- and antibody-based immunity represent two major arms of the human immune system,`` said William C. Olson, Ph.D., Progenics` Vice President, Research & Development. ``PSMA is an attractive target for vaccine therapy, because it is abundantly expressed on prostate cancer cells. This vaccine may provide a powerful way to train the body`s natural defenses to protect against the recurrence of this deadly disease. Importantly, PSMA-based immunotherapy is designed to destroy cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue.``

      In the study, mice were immunized with a non-replicating virus that was genetically engineered to contain the human DNA sequence which encodes a form of PSMA protein. Each of the vaccinated animals generated high levels of both antibodies and CD8+ killer T cells that recognized PSMA-expressing target cells but not control cells that do not express PSMA. Unvaccinated animals exhibited no immunity to PSMA.

      The PSMA gene was first discovered by scientists at Memorial Sloan- Kettering Cancer Center. PSMA is a cell-surface protein that is abundantly expressed on prostate cancer cells at all stages of disease, including advanced or metastatic disease. Further work has demonstrated that PSMA is also present at high levels on the newly formed blood vessels (neovasculature) needed for the growth and survival of many types of solid tumors. If PSMA- targeted therapies can destroy or prevent formation of these new blood vessels, the therapies may prove valuable in treating a broad range of cancers. The Progenics-Cytogen joint venture, the PSMA Development Company LLC, holds worldwide exclusive rights to PSMA technology for in vivo immunotherapy and is developing a portfolio of therapeutic product candidates designed to target this cancer marker.

      Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc., of Tarrytown, NY, is a biopharmaceutical company focusing on the development and commercialization of products for the treatment and prevention of viral, cancer, and other life-threatening diseases. The Company applies its immunological expertise to develop biopharmaceuticals to fight viral diseases, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections, and cancers, such as malignant melanoma and prostate cancer. The Company has initiated Phase II clinical trials of its lead HIV product, PRO 542, a viral-entry inhibitor. The Company is developing follow- on product candidates in HIV infection: PRO 367 has completed a Phase I study, PRO 140 is preparing to commence Phase I/II trials, and a lead therapeutic candidate has been selected from a novel class of anti-HIV compounds known as sulfated CCR5 peptides. The Company is also engaged in programs to discover and develop small-molecule HIV therapeutics that target the fusion co- receptors of the virus and other programs focusing on HIV attachment and fusion. The Company is developing cancer immunotherapies based on PSMA (prostate specific membrane antigen) technology. The Company`s most clinically advanced product, GMK, is a cancer vaccine in Phase III clinical trials for the treatment of malignant melanoma. Progenics is also developing a second cancer vaccine, MGV, with broad application to a variety of cancers. The Company is also developing a novel small-molecule antioxidant, dehydroascorbic acid (DHA), to treat stroke and other disorders.

      Cytogen Corporation, of Princeton, NJ, is a biopharmaceutical company with an established and growing product line in prostate cancer and other areas of oncology, and a leadership position in proteomics research designed to accelerate drug discovery and development.

      New Study Finds Innovative Prostate Cancer Imaging Agent Identifies Recurrence And Spread of Cancer Earlier

      Study Suggests That ProstaScint(R) Diagnostic Scan, Developed and Marketed By
      Cytogen Corporation, May Also Help Determine the Most Appropriate Treatment
      For Recurrent Prostate Cancer
      ANAHEIM, Calif., June 5 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a new study conducted by scientists at Duke University and Johns Hopkins medical centers, the use of an innovative prostate cancer diagnostic imaging agent may significantly improve a doctor`s ability to detect the location and extent of recurrent cancer in patients who have previously had their prostates removed. The findings were announced today at the annual meeting of the American Urological Association in Anaheim, California.

      For patients who have had a radical prostatectomy, a procedure in which the entire prostate gland and some surrounding tissue is surgically removed, researchers found that the use of the radiolabeled imaging agent ProstaScint(R) (Capromab Pendetide) makes it possible to identify the existence and location of recurrent prostate cancer earlier than with previously available imaging methods. A radical prostatectomy is most often used to treat localized disease (prostate cancer confined to the gland). According to the American Cancer Society, nearly 40 of men with prostate cancer have local recurrence of the disease after surgery, and approximately 11 are at high risk for metastatic spread of the disease.

      This multicenter study involved 255 men, who, after undergoing a radical prostatectomy, received no additional therapy and subsequently had an increase in the level of PSA (prostate-specific antigen) in their blood as the only indication that their cancer had recurred. These patients, whose PSA levels ranged from 0.1-4.0 ng/mL, were then given a ProstaScint scan to localize their disease. The ProstaScint scan identified recurrent disease in 72 of patients with serum PSA less than or equal to 4.0 ng/mL. Of 151 patients who also underwent additional imaging studies, bone and/or CT (computed tomography) scans identified recurrence in 12 (16/139) and 16 (15/92) of patients, respectively.

      "In order for conventional imaging modalities such as a CT scan to detect a site of recurrence, a significant volume of prostate cancer must effect changes to normal anatomic structures. Often the recurrent disease is advanced prior to detection on a bone or CT scan. This study suggests that a ProstaScint scan may detect and localize recurrent prostate cancer earlier than previously thought possible for patients with a low serum PSA after radical prostatectomy," said Ganesh V. Raj, M.D., Ph.D., the lead author on the study from the Division of Urology, Duke University Medical Center.

      ProstaScint(R) is a radiolabeled monoclonal antibody that specifically targets PSMA (prostate specific membrane antigen), a highly expressed marker found on prostate cancer cells. During a ProstaScint imaging procedure, the radiolabeled monoclonal antibody is administered intravenously into the patient, travels through the bloodstream and binds to prostate cancer cells. A gamma camera detects the radioactive isotope that has been attached to the antibody, identifying the specific sites of cancer.

      "A better understanding of the location and extent of disease may help to determine the most appropriate course of therapy for recurrent prostate cancer and could potentially spare certain patients from the side effects associated with unnecessary treatments," added Thomas J. Polascik, M.D., Division of Urology at Duke University Medical Center.

      Because PSMA is abundantly expressed on prostate cancer cells, Cytogen (Nasdaq: CYTO) is pursuing the development of a full range of prostate cancer management products and services throughout the progression of the disease, including therapeutic vaccines directed at stimulating a patient`s immune system to eradicate his own cancer, antibody-delivered therapeutic compounds and novel assays for detection of primary and recurrent prostate cancer. Cytogen`s in vivo immunotherapeutic development program is being conducted in collaboration with Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

      Approximately one in every six men will develop prostate cancer. It is the second leading cause of cancer death among men in the United States, exceeded only by lung cancer. The American Cancer Society estimates that approximately 198,100 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed this year in the U.S., and that 31,500 men will die of this disease.

      Cytogen Corporation (Nasdaq: CYTO) of Princeton, NJ, is a biopharmaceutical company with an established and growing product line in prostate cancer and other areas of oncology, and a leadership position in proteomics research designed to accelerate drug discovery and development. In oncology, products include ProstaScint(R) (a monoclonal antibody-based imaging agent used to image the extent and spread of prostate cancer) BrachySeed(TM) (a second-generation radioactive seed implant for the treatment of localized prostate cancer), Quadramet(TM) (a therapeutic agent marketed for the relief of bone pain in prostate and other types of cancer), and OncoScint CR/OV(TM) (a monoclonal antibody-based imaging agent for colorectal and ovarian cancer).

      New Studies Show Advanced Imaging Agent Identifies Prostate Cancer With Greater Accuracy

      TORONTO, June 26 /PRNewswire/ -- A new study by doctors at New York University (NYU) School of Medicine found that it is possible to identify recurrent prostate cancer with greater precision by using the radiolabeled imaging agent ProstaScint(R) (Capromab Pendetide) in combination with other diagnostic imaging techniques. The results of this and two related studies were announced today at the 48th Society of Nuclear Medicine Annual Meeting in Toronto.

      The study by researchers at NYU found that ProstaScint imaging, when combined or fused with MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) or CT (computed tomography) scans in a digital overlay, offers a more specific evaluation of prostate cancer than was possible using any of these imaging agents alone. The use of ProstaScint with other diagnostic tools reduced the rate of false positives by nearly 50%. In addition, fusion imaging helped to show that 17 patients thought to have had a spread of prostate cancer to lymph nodes may have only had a local recurrence of the disease.

      "This study suggests that the fusion of ProstaScint with CT or MRI offers increased confidence in accurately staging the disease," said Elissa Kramer, M.D., co-author of the study and professor of clinical radiology with the NYU School of Medicine.

      In related studies, Bruce Sodee, M.D., associate professor of radiology, Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH, extended the work that led to last year`s Society of Nuclear Medicine "image of the year" by comparing the results of PET (positron emission tomography) imaging of fluorodeoxyglucose and CT- or MRI-fused ProstaScint imaging in patients newly diagnosed with prostate cancer. Following radical prostatectomy, a procedure in which the entire prostate gland and some surrounding tissue is surgically removed, the "gold standard" of histological confirmation from tissue samples established that fused ProstaScint imaging better identifies cancerous regions within the prostate than PET imaging.

      "Last year we provided the first 3-D fusion images of ProstaScint uptake within the prostate. These further studies confirm our ability to specifically identify areas of cancer in the prostate gland, which may assist in targeting treatment directly to these sites," said Dr. Sodee.

      Approximately one in every six men will develop prostate cancer. It is the second leading cause of cancer death among men in the United States, exceeded only by lung cancer. The American Cancer Society estimates that approximately 198,100 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed this year in the U.S., and that 31,500 men will die of the disease.

      "This information is really a call to action for many patients who should explore the full range of prostate cancer imaging capabilities as they evaluate their treatment options. Improved staging could lead to more appropriate treatments and improved quality of life," said John Page, executive director of Us Too! International, the world`s largest independent education and support network for men with prostate cancer and their families (www.ustoo.com).

      ProstaScint(R), developed and marketed by Cytogen Corporation (Nasdaq: CYTO), is a radiolabeled monoclonal antibody that specifically targets PSMA (prostate specific membrane antigen), a highly expressed marker found on prostate cancer cells. During a ProstaScint imaging procedure, the radiolabeled monoclonal antibody is administered intravenously to the patient, travels through the bloodstream and binds to prostate cancer cells. A gamma camera detects the radioactive isotope that has been attached to the antibody, identifying the specific sites of cancer. Cytogen has initiatives underway at numerous partners in excellence (PIE) sites to provide coregistration (image fusion) capabilities to a broader audience.

      Because PSMA is abundantly expressed on prostate cancer cells, Cytogen is pursuing the development of a full range of prostate cancer management products and services throughout the progression of the disease, including therapeutic vaccines directed at stimulating a patient`s own immune system to eradicate his cancer, antibody-delivered therapeutic compounds and novel assays for detection of primary and recurrent prostate cancer. Cytogen`s in vivo immunotherapeutic development program is being conducted in collaboration with Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

      Cytogen Corporation of Princeton, NJ, is a biopharmaceutical company with an established and growing product line in prostate cancer and other areas of oncology, and a leadership position in proteomics research designed to accelerate drug discovery and development. In oncology, FDA-approved products include ProstaScint(R) (a monoclonal antibody-based imaging agent used to image the extent and spread of prostate cancer); BrachySeed(TM) (a uniquely designed next-generation radioactive seed implant for the treatment of localized prostate cancer), Quadramet(R) (a therapeutic agent marketed for the relief of bone pain in prostate and other types of cancer), and OncoScint CR/OV(R) (a monoclonal antibody-based imaging agent for colorectal and ovarian cancer). Cytogen is evolving a pipeline of oncology product candidates by exploiting its prostate specific membrane antigen, or PSMA, technologies, which are exclusively licensed from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. AxCell Biosciences, a subsidiary of Cytogen Corporation, is a leader in the effort to chart protein-signaling pathways for use in accelerating drug discovery and development. In conjunction with InforMax, Inc., AxCell intends to market the ProChart(TM) database of protein interactions as a discovery and development tool for subscribers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and agricultural industries. In addition, Cytogen plans to use AxCell`s proteomics technology to research and develop novel drug targets independently or via collaborative ventures.

      Cytogen Reports Second Quarter 2001 Results; Product Sales Advance 22% Over the Prior Year`s Quarter; Quadramet Royalty Revenue Achieves a New Quarterly Record

      PRINCETON, N.J., Aug. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Cytogen Corporation (Nasdaq: CYTO), a biopharmaceutical company with an established and growing product line in prostate cancer and a leadership position in proteomics research, today reported its consolidated financial results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001.

      The Company reported a net loss of $3.09 million or $0.04 per share for the second quarter of 2001, compared to a net loss of $2.37 million or $0.03 per share for the second quarter of 2000. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company reported a net loss of $5.74 million or $0.07 per share, compared to a net loss of $8.43 million or $0.12 per share for the same period in 2000. The loss for the six months ended June 30, 2000 includes a one-time, non-cash charge related to the adoption of the SEC`s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101") of $4.31 million or $0.06 per share.

      Product sales, reflecting OncoScint(R), ProstaScint(R), and BrachySeed(TM), increased from $1.62 million in the second quarter of 2000 to $1.98 million in the second quarter of 2001, an increase of 22%. Royalty revenue from the sale of Quadramet(R) by Berlex Laboratories achieved a new quarterly record, growing from $508,000 in the second quarter of 2000 to $595,000 in the second quarter of 2001, an increase of 17%. Combined revenue derived from the sale of these four products increased from $2.13 million in the second quarter of 2000 to $2.58 million in the second quarter of 2001, an increase of 21% and the fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit comparable growth. Total revenues, which include licensing and contract fees, increased from $2.44 million in the second quarter of 2000 to $2.83 million in the second quarter of 2001.

      Product related revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2001 were $5.35 million, compared to $4.50 million for the same period in 2000, representing an increase of 19%. Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2001 were $5.83 million, compared to $5.08 million for the same period in 2000.

      Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2001 increased 22% to $6.03 million compared to $4.95 million in the second quarter of 2000. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, total operating expenses were $11.85 million, compared to $9.45 million for the same period in 2000. The increase in expenses was primarily due to research and development efforts to further AxCell`s proteomics program.

      Cytogen`s cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2001 were $18.71 million compared to $11.99 million as of December 31, 2000.

      Effective January 1, 2000, Cytogen adopted SAB 101, which requires up-front, non-refundable license fees to be deferred and recognized over future periods. As a result of the adoption of SAB 101, certain up-front, non-refundable license fees recognized in prior periods have been deferred and are being recognized over the terms of the relevant agreements. In the first quarter of 2000, Cytogen recorded a one-time, non-cash charge of $4.31 million representing the cumulative effect of this accounting change. Previously reported results for the six months ended June 30, 2000 have been restated to reflect the adoption of SAB 101.

      "This quarter demonstrates that Cytogen continues to make significant strides in building shareholder value," said H. Joseph Reiser, Ph.D., Cytogen`s president and chief executive officer. "The increase in product sales over the prior period results from our evolution into a biopharmaceutical company with multiple product opportunities. The strategic decision to establish an in-house oncology sales force to promote our products is positively impacting our business. Importantly, the introduction of two additional products during this period -- the iodine version of BrachySeed and AxCell`s ProChart(TM) database -- provide substantial new revenue opportunities going forward."

      Second Quarter Highlights:

      -- Revenue derived from the sale of the Company`s four products increased
      21%, representing the fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit
      comparable growth.
      -- Cytogen executed an agreement with its largest current shareholder,
      the State of Wisconsin Investment Board (SWIB), to sell $8.19 million
      of common stock. The Company sold a total of 1,820,000 registered
      shares to SWIB at $4.50 per share.
      -- Doctors at Duke and Johns Hopkins Universities reported that for
      patients who have previously had a radical prostatectomy, a procedure
      in which the entire prostate gland and some surrounding tissue is
      surgically removed, the use of the radiolabeled imaging agent
      ProstaScint makes it possible to identify the existence and location
      of recurrent prostate cancer earlier than with previously available
      imaging methods. The findings were reported at the annual meeting of
      the American Urological Association.
      -- Doctors at the New York University School of Medicine found that
      ProstaScint images, when combined or fused with MRI (magnetic
      resonance imaging) or CT (computed tomography) scans in a digital
      overlay, offers a more specific evaluation of prostate cancer than
      was possible using any of these imaging agents alone. The results of
      this and two similar studies were reported at the 48th Society of
      Nuclear Medicine Annual Meeting.
      -- InforMax, Inc., a leading global provider of bioinformatics software
      solutions, announced the release of GenoMax(TM) 3.1, which contains
      the new GenoMax Protein-Protein Interaction Analysis (PPI) module, a
      leading-edge proteomic application developed in conjunction with
      AxCell Biosciences, a subsidiary of Cytogen Corporation. The PPI
      module allows research scientists to quickly access and correlate the
      protein pathway information in AxCell`s ProChart database with the
      sequence, expression, distribution, structural and bibliographical
      information that exists for the protein or pathway in question.
      -- Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Cytogen announced that in
      preclinical studies their experimental prostate cancer vaccine
      generated a potent antibody and killer T cell response against PSMA
      (prostate specific membrane antigen), a well-recognized marker that
      is highly expressed on prostate cancer cells. The findings were
      presented by Progenics at the 37th Annual Meeting of The American
      Society of Clinical Oncology.


      "During the second half of 2001, we plan to launch a palladium version of BrachySeed, which represents our third new product introduction of the year. BrachySeed is a uniquely designed next-generation radioactive seed implant for the treatment of localized prostate cancer. In addition, AxCell Biosciences will seek to develop a broad range of alliances for additional applications of its proprietary Genetic Diversity Library(TM), Cloning of Ligand Targets(TM), and affinity screening technologies. Collectively, these platform technologies are used to generate data for the ProChart database, but they can also be deployed independently to extract additional value from AxCell`s technology," Dr. Reiser added.

      The Company also announced today that S. Leslie Misrock resigned as a member of the board of directors due to health reasons. "We express our deep thanks and appreciation to Leslie for his hard work and leadership. He will be missed and we wish him a speedy recovery to full health," Dr. Reiser concluded.

      Cytogen Reports Third Quarter 2001 Results

      BrachySeed Sales Advance 244% Over the Second Quarter 2001

      Quadramet Royalty Revenue Advances 11% Over Prior Year`s Quarter

      PRINCETON, N.J., Nov. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Cytogen Corporation (Nasdaq: CYTO), a biopharmaceutical company with an established and growing product line in prostate cancer and proteomics research, today reported its consolidated financial results for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001.

      The Company reported a net loss of $3.78 million or $0.05 per share for the third quarter of 2001, compared to a net loss of $16.45 million or $0.22 per share for the third quarter of 2000. The loss for the three months ended September 30, 2000 includes a one-time charge for marketing and technology rights to product candidates from Advanced Magnetics, Inc. of $13.24 million or $0.18 per share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company reported a net loss of $9.52 million or $0.12 per share, compared to a net loss of $24.88 million or $0.34 per share for the same period in 2000. The loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 includes a one-time, non- cash charge related to the adoption of the SEC`s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101") of $4.31 million or $0.06 per share.

      "Our third quarter performance reflects the continuation of our evolution into a biopharmaceutical company with multiple product opportunities," said H. Joseph Reiser, Ph.D., Cytogen`s president and chief executive officer. "The tragic events of September 11th were especially challenging for Cytogen, since our radiopharmaceutical products are largely elective procedures, require overnight air transportation, and may be subject to special shipping requirements. Despite the negative impact of these events, however, both BrachySeed and Quadramet(R) exhibited solid sales performances, which helped partially offset weakness in ProstaScint(R) during the quarter. We are at a critical and unique stage of implementing our business plans, both in oncology and proteomics. In this regard, we are successfully transitioning through major milestones in terms of new product introductions, transfer of manufacturing for ProstaScint and strengthening sales and marketing, which represent the growth foundation for Cytogen`s future." Product Sales

      Marketed products sales, reflecting ProstaScint, BrachySeed I-125 (iodine version), and OncoScint(R), increased from $1.98 million in the third quarter of 2000 to $2.00 million in the third quarter of 2001.

      ProstaScint sales in the third quarter of 2001 decreased 9% to $1.68 million from $1.85 million in the third quarter of 2000. Future growth in ProstaScint is expected to result from an expansion of the Company`s prostate cancer product franchise, increased marketing and sales initiatives by its in-house sales force, entry into additional markets and the exploration of new product applications, such as using ProstaScint scans to guide the placement of brachytherapy seeds and/or external beam radiation.

      BrachySeed I-125 sales in the third quarter of 2001 increased 244% to $244,000 from $71,000 in the second quarter 2001. Since the market introduction of this product in the first half of 2001, an increased market penetration for the treatment of prostate cancer confined to the gland and our focused marketing message on the leading product attributes of BrachySeed has contributed to a positive sales trend and consistent quarter-over-quarter growth.

      OncoScint sales in the third quarter of 2001 decreased 44% to $73,000 from $130,000 in the third quarter of 2000. As previously indicated, the market for OncoScint for colorectal cancer diagnosis has been negatively impacted by positron emission tomography, or PET, scans. Accordingly, Cytogen is emphasizing marketing of OncoScint for the recurrent ovarian cancer setting.

      Building on the record royalty revenue achieved during the second quarter 2001, royalty revenue from the sale of Quadramet by Berlex Laboratories advanced from $523,000 in the third quarter of 2000 to $579,000 in the third quarter of 2001, representing an increase of 11%.

      Combined revenue derived from the sale of these four products increased from $2.50 million in the third quarter of 2000 to $2.58 million in the third quarter of 2001. Total revenues, which include licensing and contract fees, increased from $2.73 million in the third quarter of 2000 to $2.80 million in the third quarter of 2001.

      Product related revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 were $7.93 million, compared to $7.00 million for the same period in 2000, representing an increase of 13%. Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 were $8.63 million, compared to $7.81 million for the same period in 2000. Costs and Expenses

      Ongoing operating expenses in the third quarter of 2001 increased 10% to $6.70 million compared to $6.10 million in the third quarter of 2000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, total ongoing operating expenses were $18.55 million, compared to $15.55 million for the same period in 2000. The increase in expenses was primarily due to research and development efforts to further AxCell`s proteomics program, the transfer of certain product manufacturing to DSM Biologics, and increased sales and marketing expenses.

      Cytogen`s cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2001 were $14.55 million compared to $11.99 million as of December 31, 2000.

      Effective January 1, 2000, Cytogen adopted SAB 101, which requires up- front, non-refundable license fees to be deferred and recognized over future periods. As a result of the adoption of SAB 101, certain up-front, non- refundable license fees recognized in prior periods have been deferred and are being recognized over the terms of the relevant agreements. In the first quarter of 2000, Cytogen recorded a one-time, non-cash charge of $4.31 million representing the cumulative effect of this accounting change. Previously reported results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 have been restated to reflect the adoption of SAB 101.

      Cytogen Receives Regulatory Approval In Canada for ProstaScint(R) Prostate Cancer Imaging Agent


      ProstaScint(R) diagnostic scan, which helps to determine the extent and location of prostate cancer, is approved with an expanded label to help identify patients likely to benefit from salvage therapy.

      PRINCETON, N.J., Mar 18, 2002 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) -- Cytogen Corporation (Nasdaq: CYTO) announced today that Health Canada has issued a "Notice of Compliance" for ProstaScint(R), the company`s radio-labeled monoclonal antibody prostate cancer imaging agent. In both Canada and the United States, ProstaScint is indicated for use in patients newly diagnosed with prostate cancer who are at high risk for lymph node metastases and for patients with recurrent prostate cancer following a radical prostatectomy who are suspected of having occult metastatic disease. In Canada, ProstaScint is also indicated for use in identifying those patients with recurrent prostate cancer who are likely to benefit from receiving local salvage radiation therapy.
      "We are very pleased that ProstaScint will be available in Canada," said H. Joseph Reiser, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of Cytogen Corporation. "The expanded product label further validates the value of the information obtained from ProstaScint imaging in helping physicians and prostate cancer patients make more appropriate and informed treatment decisions," added Dr. Reiser.

      Following a radical prostatectomy (a procedure in which the entire prostate gland and some surrounding tissue is surgically removed) for the treatment of primary prostate cancer, a rising level of prostate specific antigen (PSA) in the blood is an indication that the disease has recurred. Studies in patients with this stage of disease have shown that those having a ProstaScint scan that is positive for disease only in the pelvic region are more likely to benefit from salvage radiation therapy than are patients in whom the ProstaScint scan indicates the presence of disease beyond the pelvis.

      ProstaScint(R) (Capromab Pendetide), developed and marketed by Cytogen Corporation, is a radiolabeled monoclonal antibody that specifically targets PSMA (prostate specific membrane antigen), a highly expressed marker found on prostate cancer cells. During a ProstaScint imaging procedure, the radiolabeled monoclonal antibody is administered intravenously to the patient, traveling through the bloodstream and binding to prostate cancer cells. A gamma camera is then used to detect the radioactive isotope that has been attached to the antibody, identifying the specific sites of cancer. ProstaScint has been marketed in the U.S. since 1997.

      In 1998, Cytogen received approval from Health Canada to market Quadramet(R), a radiopharmaceutical agent marketed for the relief of bone pain in prostate and other types of cancer in patients with multiple osteoblastic skeletal metastases confirmed by positive radionuclide bone scan. With the recent approval of ProstaScint in Canada, Cytogen expects to initiate a multi- phased marketing and medical education campaign to support the launch of these two products in Canada, alone or with a partner.

      Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in Canadian men. The Canadian Cancer Society estimates that approximately 17,800 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed this year, and that 4,300 men will die of the disease. About one in every nine Canadian men will develop prostate cancer during his lifetime.

      @wunram, @und alle verbliebenen CYTO`s
      Ich beobachte CYTO schon eine ganze weile! Nachdem ich bei ca.5$ letztes Jahr aussteigen musste, bin ich jetzt wieder drin. Ein 52 Wochen Tief, hat sie aber mit Sicherheit nicht verdient. CYTO wird, so denke ich bis Ende nächsten Jahres zu den wenigen BioTech Unternehmen zählen die Gewinne erwirtschaften. Und dies trotz einer Tochter, die im Moment noch eine menge Geld kostet. Na ja, Forschung und Marktführerschaft gibt’s nun mal nicht umsonst. Die Wachstumsraten sind außerdem demografisch garantiert. Ich sehe bis auf das Börsenumfeld keine negativen Faktoren. Ach ja, die Klage von IMMU stört mit Sicherlich einige. Was kann da im schlimmsten Fall passieren? PS. Würde ich auch gerne wissen! Eure Meinigen, bitte. Gruss DS

      Umsatz gesteigert! Gewinn erhöht! Ausgaben ausgeweitet! Ja, schön aber warum
      sind die Ausgaben übermäßig angestiegen? Liegt doch auf der Hand, die Entwicklungs-
      kosten am PSMA- Projekt mit Progenix an der man zu 50% beteiligt ist, erfordern
      mehr Kapital als CYTO wahrscheinlich hierfür hat. Combidex kurz vor der FDA
      Zulassung. Code 7228 „Phase I/II“ und eigene PSMA Projekte strapazieren die Ausgaben. Und zu allem Überfluss
      Frist das eigene Kind „AxCell“ die Barreserven auf um seine Vormachtstellung zu
      behaupten und auszubauen. Und es ist wichtig zu Investieren den ein richtiger
      „Block Buster“ fehlt in der CYTO Familie, oder? Wie wir sehen alles schlechte Nachrichten.
      Und schon Interessiert es niemanden, dass hier eigentlich in die Zukunft Investiert wird
      und das man trotz der hohen Belastungen Ende 2003 den „Break Even“ mit den eigene
      zurzeit vorhanden Produkten erreichen kann. Soviel ich weis, werden die Präparate z.Z. lediglich in den USA und in Kanada vermarktet. Mehr sag ich hierzu nicht, möge sich
      jeder selbst Gedanken machen. Zwar quälen mich auch noch andere Fragen, aber vorerst genug von mir. Bis die Tage! Gruss..DS

      Cytogen to Hold Special Meeting of Stockholders to Approve a Reverse Stock Split
      26 Sep 2002, 08:02am ET
      /FROM PR NEWSWIRE NEW YORK 800-776-8090/
      [STK] CYTO
      [IN] FIN MTC
      [SU]
      TO BUSINESS AND MEDICAL EDITORS:

      Cytogen to Hold Special Meeting of Stockholders to Approve a Reverse Stock Split

      PRINCETON, N.J., Sept. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Board of Directors of Cytogen Corporation (NASDAQ:CYTO) today unanimously approved and recommended to stockholders a proposal that would give the Board of Directors
      authority to effect a reverse stock split of Cytogen`s common stock. A special meeting of Cytogen`s stockholders will be held on October 25, 2002 to consider the following proposals:

      * An amendment to the Company`s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as
      amended, to effect a reverse stock split of the Company`s Common Stock,
      $.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), and to grant the
      Company`s Board of Directors the authority, in its sole discretion, to
      (i) set the ratio for the reverse stock split at up to one-for-ten, or
      (ii) not to complete the reverse stock split; and

      * An amendment to the Company`s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as
      amended, to decrease the number of authorized shares of Common Stock
      from 250,000,000 shares to a reduced number of shares that is
      proportionate to the reduction in outstanding shares of common stock as
      a result of the reverse stock split.

      Stockholders of record on August 27, 2002 will be entitled to vote at this special meeting. The affirmative vote of a majority of shares of common stock will permit the Cytogen Board of Directors to effect a reverse stock split at a ratio of up to one-for-ten at any time prior to December 31, 2002.
      Cytogen believes the ability to effect a reverse stock split is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and will help increase the market price of its common stock above the minimum bid requirement of $1.00
      per share required by The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. ("Nasdaq"). Cytogen`s common stock is currently quoted on the Nasdaq National Market. In order for Cytogen`s common stock to continue to be quoted thereon, the Company is
      required to continue to comply with various listing maintenance standards established by Nasdaq.
      "Nasdaq requires the Company to maintain, among other things, a minimum share price and the reverse stock split is intended to help us meet this requirement," said H. Joseph Reiser, Cytogen`s president and chief executive
      officer.
      If Cytogen`s common stock is not listed on the Nasdaq National Market and the trading price of its common stock were to remain below $1.00 per share,trading in Cytogen`s common stock could also be subject to the requirements of
      certain rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which require additional disclosures by broker-dealers in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a "penny stock" (generally, a non-Nasdaq equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions). In such event, the additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers to effect transactions in Cytogen`s common stock could inhibit brokers from trading in its common stock and further limit the market liquidity of its common stock and the ability of our investors to trade in our common stock.
      Cytogen further believes that the reverse stock split and anticipated increase in the price of its common stock should also enhance the acceptability and marketability of its common stock to the financial community and investing public, while a delisting could greatly impair the Company`s
      ability to access the capital markets. Many institutional investors have policies prohibiting them from holding lower-priced stocks in their portfolios, which reduces the number of potential buyers of Cytogen`s common stock. Additionally, analysts at many brokerage firms are reluctant to recommend lower-priced stocks to their clients or monitor the activity of lower-priced stocks. Brokerage houses also frequently have internal practices and policies that discourage individual brokers from dealing in lower-priced stocks. Further, because brokers` commissions on lower-priced stock generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher priced stock, investors in lower-priced stocks pay transaction costs which are a higher percentage of their total share value, which may limit the willingness of individual investors and institutions to purchase its common stock.

      die Begründungen sind echt witzig; für mich bedeutet es, dass Cyto keine Möglichkeit sieht bis zum 12. November den Kurs für 10 aufeinanderfolgende Tage über 1$ zu bringen! :(

      Hallo Wunram,
      warum im Minus heute! Die Nachrichten sind doch gut, oder?
      Ein Aktienrückkauf hat doch noch nie geschadet.
      Der Verbleib an der NASDAQ ist vorerst auch gesichert.
      Fundamental hat sich doch nichts geändert, dis auf die Tatsache das die Aktie in diesen Marktsegment für`n Appel un Ei zu kriegen ist. Gruß..DS

      Sorry Wunram, hätte mal besser übersetzen sollen!
      Ja nun und wo ist bitte schön das Problem?
      Ob Delisting oder Reserve Split, mir ist es sch... egal ob CYTO an der NASDAQ oder am OTC-BB gehandelt wird!
      Was hat sich Fundamental geändert? Sind die Aussichten zukünftiger Projekte schlechter geworden? Hätte Cyto durch ein Delisting oder ein Reserve Split weniger Cash im Säckel bzw. finazielle einbussen?

      National Cancer Institute to Study use of Advanced Magnetics` MRI Contrast Agents, Combidex(R) and Code 7228, in Detection of Metastatic Lymph Node Disease

      National Cancer Institute to Study use of Advanced Magnetics` MRI Contrast Agents, Combidex(R) and Code 7228, in Detection of Metastatic Lymph Node Disease

      CAMBRIDGE, Mass., and PRINCETON, N.J., Sept. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

      Advanced Magnetics, Inc. (AMEX:AVM) and Cytogen Corporation (NASDAQ:CYTO) announced today that Advanced Magnetics has entered into two clinical trial agreements with the Biomedical Imaging Program (BIP) of the National Cancer
      Institute to study the use of Combidex(R) and Code 7228 Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) contrast agents in the detection of metastatic disease in lymph nodes. Combidex and Code 7228 modify the MR signal of normal lymph nodes while those of metastatic nodes remains unchanged. The BIP will sponsor these clinical trials in cooperation with Advanced Magnetics.
      "We are very excited by the Biomedical Imaging Program`s interest in both Combidex and Code 7228," stated Jerome Goldstein, Chairman and CEO of Advanced Magnetics. "We believe that both of these imaging agents can play an
      important role in the staging of metastatic disease, especially through accurate assessment of lymph node status. We look forward to working with the BIP in helping to improve the manner in which cancer is diagnosed in medical practice today."
      Combidex, the lead product in Advanced Magnetics` development pipeline, received an approvable letter, subject to certain conditions, from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in June 2000 for use in lymph node imaging. Code 7228 is in Phase II clinical studies for use in Magnetic Resonance Angiography and for use in iron replacement therapy. Cytogen Corporation has exclusive
      U.S. rights to Combidex and Code 7228 for the detection of lymph node metastases and oncology applications.
      "We are very pleased that the National Cancer Institute has decided to study the use of Combidex and Code 7228 in detecting metastatic lymph node disease," said H. Joseph Reiser, Ph.D., president and CEO of Cytogen Corporation. "Before Combidex and Code 7228, there were no MRI contrast agents available to help distinguish malignant from normal lymph nodes. Such a determination is key to allowing cancer patients and their physicians to make
      more appropriate treatment decisions."
      The signing of these clinical trial agreements by the Biomedical Imaging Program of the National Cancer Institute does not claim, infer or imply an endorsement or recommendation of the products by the NCI or the Department of Health and Human Services.

      was die finanzierung angeht ändert sich schon was: "....while a delisting could greatly impair the Company`s
      ability to access the capital markets. Many institutional investors have policies prohibiting them from holding lower-priced stocks in their portfolios, which reduces the number of potential buyers of Cytogen`s common stock...."


      Aber CYTO ist ja weiter aktiv wie man sieht :)

      Cytogen Announces Compliance With Nasdaq Listing Requirements
      12 Nov 2002, 08:45am ET

      PRINCETON, N.J., Nov. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
      Cytogen Corporation (NASDAQ:CYTOD), a product-driven, oncology-focused biopharmaceutical company, today announced that the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. notified the Company that it had regained compliance with the Nasdaq National
      Market`s listing standard regarding minimum bid price.
      "As anticipated, following last month`s stockholder-approved reverse stock split, Cytogen has regained compliance with Nasdaq listing standards," said H.
      Joseph Reiser, Ph.D., Cytogen`s president and chief executive officer. "We believe that continued listing on the Nasdaq National Market clearly benefits our stockholders."
      In August 2002, Cytogen was notified that it was not in compliance with the Nasdaq National Market`s listing standard regarding minimum bid price. In accordance with that requirement, Cytogen had 90 days to regain compliance by having its stock close at a trading price above $1 for ten consecutive days.
      In late October 2002, Cytogen`s board of directors approved a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its outstanding shares. This action followed a vote held on October 25, 2002 at a special meeting of the Company`s stockholders, at which more than 87% of stockholders eligible to vote at the special meeting authorized the board of directors to effect a reverse stock split. Cytogen`s shares began trading on a post-split basis at market opening on October 28, 2002.
