DNAPrint Pharmaceuticals Selects GMP Manufacturer for PT-401 Anemia Drug KBI BioPharma, Inc. Will Prepare GMP Material for Clinical Studies Required for Future Investigational New Drug (IND) "The development of PT-401 is an exciting project for our
Company, based on
the success of our initial work on this compound," said
Dr. Hector J.
Gomez, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer and Chairman of
DNAPrint. DNAPrint Genomics obtained an exclusive, worldwide license
from Harvard
Medical School's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in
February 2005 for
the development of a "Super" EPO, a more potent and longer
acting form of
Erythropoietin. The Company's goal is to utilize recent
genomics and
chemistry advances to develop next-generation test/drug
combinations called
"theranostics," designed to maximize efficacy and minimize
side effects by
tailoring and customizing medication for specific individuals
and
well-defined population sectors. About KBI BioPharma, Inc. KBI BioPharma, Inc., a leading contract process development
and
manufacturing service provider for the biopharmaceutical
industry,
accelerates and optimizes drug development and manufacturing
programs. KBI
BioPharma applies advanced biophysical and biochemical characterization
techniques to develop scalable, robust processes resulting
in products that
exhibit optimal stability and biological activity. KBI BioPharma's
scientific staff possesses the experience, including numerous
IND and NDA
submissions, to succeed in the challenges associated with
all stages of
drug development. KBI's services are performed in state-of-the-art
laboratories housed in a 341,000 square foot facility in

is a developer of genomics-based
products and services in two primary markets: biomedical
and forensics.
DNAPrint Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary,
develops
diagnostic tests and theranostic products (drug/test combinations)
using
the Company's proprietary ancestry-informed genetic marker
studies combined
with proprietary computational modeling technology. Computational
Biology
and Pharmacogenomics services are also offered externally
to
biopharmaceutical companies. The Company's first theranostic
product is
PT-401, a "Super EPO" (erythropoietin) dimer protein drug
for treatment of
anemia in renal dialysis patients (with end stage renal
disease).
Preclinical and clinical development of all the Company's
drug candidates
will benefit from simulated pre-trials to design actual
trials better and
are targeted to patients with genetic profiles indicating
their propensity
to have the best clinical responses. DNAPrint is proud of
its continued
dedication to developing and supplying new technological
advances in law
enforcement and consumer ancestry heritage interests. Please
refer to
www.dnaprint.com for
information on law enforcement and consumer
applications which include DNAWITNESS(TM), RETINOME(TM),
ANCESTRYbyDNA(TM)
and EURO-DNA(TM). DNAWitness-Y and DNAWitness-Mito are two
tests offered by
the Company. The results from these tests may be used as
identification
tools when a DNA sample is deteriorated or compromised or
other DNA testing
fails to yield acceptable results. Forward-Looking Statements All statements in this press release that are not historical
