<!--[if supportFields]> DATE \@ "MMMM d, yyyy" < ![endif]--> August 11, 2008 <!--[if supportFields]> < ![endif]--> - TheSUBWAY: Announces the following stocks to its Pre Market Standouts List: All Asia Licensing, Inc. (Pink Sheets: AASI), Pluristem Therapeutics, Inc (NASDAQ: PSTI).
Pluristem Therapeutics Inc. (NasdaqCM:PSTI) (DAX:PJT) a bio-therapeutics company dedicated to the commercialization of non-personalized (allogeneic) cell therapy products for a variety of degenerative, ischemic and autoimmune indications, today announced that the Company’s PLacental eXpanded (PLX-MS) cells have demonstrated in vivo efficacy in the prevention of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). PLX cells are Pluristem’s placental-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) that have been expanded in the Company’s proprietary PluriX(TM) 3-D bioreactor.
In a further analysis aiming to demonstrate the in vivo efficacy of PLX-MS cells for the prevention of MS, Experimental Autoimmune Encephalitis (EAE) was induced in mice via immunization with the MOG35-55 protein on day 0. EAE is an autoimmune inflammatory disease of the CNS that represents the paradigmatic model for MS. The animals then received, on day 8, intravenously either PLX-MS or PlasmaLyte, which served as a control. PLX-MS administration prevented the appearance of clinical symptoms and signs associated with MS throughout the 35-day study period compared to those animals receiving the control. Additionally, the beneficial effects were similar to when Zappia et. al. used MSCs that were non-placental in origin in this EAE animal model(1).
All Asia Licensing Inc. (Pink Sheets:AASI), Friday announced that it entered into a Letter of Intent with an international bio research and marketing firm to manufacture and distribute in China the research company’s proprietary cattle test for BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy), better known as “Mad Cow” Disease.
“Assuming the consummation of a final agreement, I would anticipate that the 50-50 sharing arrangement may result in annual revenue between $100 million and $150 million for All Asia once the system is rolled out across China,” according to Anthony Lee, CEO of All Asia Licensing.
The Letter of Intent provides for the creation of a joint venture company later in the month in the Peoples Republic of China. There, the beef industry is governed by the Ministry of Agriculture, which has oversight over approximately 60 million head of cattle in beef processing plants at any one time. The joint venture will deal directly with the National Diagnostic Center for Exotic Animal Diseases, the national research laboratory for BSE and Newcastle Disease.
