A Broad-Spectrum Treatment Strategy to Address HIV, Hepatitis-C (HCV) and other Infectious Disease Conditions; Q&A with Aethlon Medical (OTCBB: AEMD) CEO, Jim Joyce

Point Roberts, WA. - April 14, 2011 � Investorideas.com, a leader in sector stock research presents a new interview in its series of biotech Q&A's, featuring Jim Joyce, CEO of Aethlon Medical (OTCBB: AEMD).

The Hemopurifier® from Aethlon Medical is a first-in-class medical device candidate to treat infectious disease. Human studies have documented that the Hemopurifier® can significantly reduce viral load in Hepatitis-C virus (HCV) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infected patients in the absence of antiviral drugs. A study is currently underway to demonstrate the benefit of the Hemopurifier® as an adjunct to HCV drug therapy. Additional details can be accessed online at www.aethlonmedical.com
Q&A Interview
InvestorIdeas: How does your Hemopurifier® differ from drug therapies to treat infectious disease?
Mr. Joyce: Well, our approach is a complete departure from the consensus approach of introducing drug agents into the body to inhibit viral replication. As you are likely aware, these agents can have countering side effects or mechanisms of action that may not be fully understood. So, instead of adding agents into the body, our Hemopurifier® subtracts or removes viruses and other harmful particles from circulation without drug-related side effects. We think our therapeutic filtration approach could redefine the premise of how to treat infectious disease and we believe our strategy is far more innovative than another me-too drug inhibitor.
InvestorIdeas: Is a device that removes harmful particles from the body really considered to be innovative?
Mr. Joyce: The idea of a therapeutic filtration device that can remove harmful particles from circulation is not original. The basis of kidney dialysis, which keeps individuals with renal disease alive, is based on therapeutic filtration. However, like dialysis, previous therapeutic filtration strategies have sought to remove particles from circulation by molecule size, which is an indiscriminate approach that can also remove elements from circulation that are required for health. This factor has primarily limited the use of therapeutic filtration to niche markets. Our Hemopurifier® is truly innovative in the sense that we discriminate to selectively remove infectious viruses and other harmful particles from the entire circulatory system. It is this advancement that allows us to pursue opportunities in the much larger infectious disease and cancer markets.
InvestorIdeas: So it would seem your Hemopurifier® is positioned as a competitor to drug therapies.
Mr. Joyce: That is certainly not our intent. In fact, we expect to be an ally to the drug industry for several compelling reasons. First, if you really want to enhance or extend the benefit of drug therapies, you remove the strains of viruses that are causing drugs to fail and you do it without adding drug toxicity or interaction risks. But to fully unlock the capability of drug therapies you need to provide other complementary mechanisms that are beyond the reach of drugs. In that regard, we provide a strategy to address the toxins shed from viral surfaces to kill immune cells and particles known as exosomes that allow viruses to transport other disease-enhancing particles below the surveillance of the immune system. So our device in combination with drug therapy would seem to be a win-win scenario.
InvestorIdeas: What if a virus is not treatable with drug therapy?
Mr. Joyce: In reality, a vast majority of the viruses that are known to be infectious to man are not treatable with drugs. In scenarios that are life threatening, our Hemopurifer® is likely to be the sole strategy to address viral infections that are not treatable with drugs. For this reason, our Hemopurifier® is immensely valuable as new viruses like the coronavirus underlying the SARS outbreak of 2003 will emerge naturally in the future. We also face the looming threat of biological weapons purposely designed to defeat drug therapies. In either case, our Hemopurifier® provides a decision free first response that can augment the body's own immune response to such exposures, which is certainly more logical than an post-exposure strategy comprised of first identifying the virus that is killing people, and then establishing post-death research programs that may or may not yield a viable treatment candidate years after the fact.
InvestorIdeas: Thank you.

(OTCBB: VSUL), a pioneer provider of industry-leading color based identification and diagnostic solutions, an emerging leader in security and authentication systems technology and distributor of a wide variety of security solutions through its wholly-owned subsidiary, TransTech Systems, Inc., is pleased to announce that TransTech Systems has successfully incorporated an industry standard access card programmer into an identification card printer for production of personalized access control credentials.

Traditionally, access cards are pre-programmed by providers and shipped to the users for future use. At the time of card issuance, there is a two step process whereby the card is read by an access reader to get the pre-programmed number associated with the card and then the card is printed with the card holder's information. With TransTech's integration of Farpointe Data's Cards on the Go™ COG1000 directly into the printer, the process can be accomplished in one step. Further, the requirements for ordering pre-programmed stock and the related worries about the security of this stock before issuance are eliminated.
Cards on the Go™ COG-1000 is an access control credential programmer designed to give security access control professionals and system integrators the ability to program both proximity and contactless smartcard credentials. The Cards on the Go™ COG-1000 desktop solution includes a USB-based desktop programmer, a USB cable, programming software and 100 preloaded programming tokens. The Cards on the Go™ card printer based solution configuration will vary by printer manufacturer. OEM solutions for larger systems integrators may be available.
Adding Cards on the Go™ technology to identification card printer solutions provides a unique product offering for TransTech's security reseller channel. TransTech Systems is currently the only provider of this technology. The unit was debuted at the ISC West Security Industry trade show in Las Vegas last week. Full production is planned within sixty days.

Biotech/Biodefense Stock News; Aethlon Medical (OTCBB: AEMD) Announces Multi-Target Exosome Assay Validation

SAN DIEGO - April 12, 2011 (Investorideas.com newswire) Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB: AEMD) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary Exosome Sciences, Inc. (ESI) has validated the ability of its Enzyme Linked Lectin Specific Assay (ELLSA) to identify the presence of exosomes underlying the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), tuberculosis (TB), and various forms of cancer, including ovarian, melanoma, breast, lymphoma, and colorectal. In July 2010, ESI disclosed that it filed a patent relating to the development of an assay that would allow researchers to detect exosomes in blood and other fluids. In addition to research opportunities, Aethlon Medical plans to test ELLSA as a diagnostic to quantify the therapeutic capabilities of the Aethlon Hemopurifier� to remove immunosuppressive exosomes from the circulatory system of those afflicted with cancer. ESI is now preparing a market survey that will be provided to researchers to determine market demand and pricing for ELLSA as a research tool.

"We are grateful to those organizations that collaborated in beta-testing the capabilities of ELLSA to detect exosomes, which are increasingly being recognized as particles that deplete immune cells or provide a mechanism to transport disease-enhancing factors below the surveillance of the immune system,� stated Aethlon CEO, Jim Joyce. "Additionally, the ESI ELLSA provides the potential for a near-term revenue stream that complements the therapeutic programs we are actively advancing at Aethlon Medical"
About Aethlon Medical
At Aethlon Medical, we create revolutionary devices to address infectious disease and cancer. Our devices are designed to be novel platform solutions that fill therapeutic voids or aid in disease diagnosis and monitoring.
Our Hemopurifier® is the first medical device to selectively target the removal of infectious viruses and immunosuppressive proteins from the entire circulatory system. We recently discovered that our Hemopurifier® captures tumor-secreted exosomes that suppress the immune system of those afflicted with cancer. Prior to this discovery, a therapeutic strategy to directly inhibit or reverse the immunosuppressive destruction caused by exosomes did not exist in cancer care. By eliminating this mechanism, we believe our Hemopurifier® can fill an unmet clinical need and provide the benefit of an immune-based therapy without adding drug toxicity or interaction risks to established and emerging treatment strategies.
Human studies have documented the ability of our Hemopurifier® to safely reduce viral load in both Hepatitis-C virus (HCV) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infected patients without the administration of antiviral drugs. However, our initial clinical and commercialization focus is to establish our Hemopurifier® as an adjunct therapy to enhance the benefit of both infectious disease and cancer treatment regimens. In this regard, we plan to commercialize our Hemopurifier® in India as we advance our clinical strategies in the United States and the European Union. In vitro studies conducted by government and non-government research institutes have also verified that our Hemopurifier® has broad-spectrum capabilities against bioterror and emerging pandemic threats. These studies have confirmed the capture of Dengue Hemorrhagic Virus, Ebola Hemorrhagic Virus, Lassa Hemorrhagic Virus, West Nile Virus, H5N1 Avian Influenza Virus, 2009 H1N1 Influenza Virus, the reconstructed Spanish Flu of 1918 Virus, and Monkeypox Virus, which serves as a model for human Smallpox infection.
As a therapeutic device, the Hemopurifier® provides us with a pipeline into four significant market opportunities:

1. Cancer: A treatment candidate to improve patient responsiveness to established cancer therapies by removing immunosuppressive exosomes from circulation.
2. Hepatitis-C Virus (HCV): As an adjunct therapy to accelerate viral load reduction at the outset of standard of care drug regimens.
3. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV): Provides a potential therapeutic option for HIV-infected individuals to manage disease progression once they become resistant to antiviral drug regimens.
4. Bioterror and Pandemic Threats: Represents the most advanced broad-spectrum strategy to address untreatable bioterror and emerging pandemic threats.

The Hemopurifier® is an expansive multi-patented platform technology whose mechanism of action can be leveraged to provide therapeutic, diagnostic, and biomarker discovery solutions. As a therapeutic, the Hemopurifier® is a single-use disposable cartridge designed for implementation within the established infrastructure of dialysis machines and other blood circulatory pumps already located in hospitals and clinics worldwide.
In design, our Hemopurifier® is a selective filtration device containing affinity agents that tightly bind to high-mannose structures unique to the surface of exosomes produced by cancer and glycoproteins residing on the envelope of viruses. These agents are immobilized around approximately 2800 porous hollow fibers that run the interior length of our device. The resulting design provides us the novel ability to separate both exosome and viral targets away from blood cells so they can then be selectively and permanently removed from the circulatory system. In application, blood circulation is established into the Hemopurifier® via a catheter or other blood access device. Once blood flow has been established, treatment benefit is immediate as the entire circulatory system can pass through the Hemopurifier® in as little as 15 minutes.
Our wholly owned subsidiary, Exosome Sciences, Inc. (ESI) is focused on the development of exosome-targeted products and services that improve cancer diagnosis, provide post-treatment cancer surveillance, and aid in the discovery of biomarkers that allow doctors to optimize patient therapy.

Biotech/Biodefense Stock News; Aethlon Medical (OTCBB: AEMD) Releases Shareholder Letter

SAN DIEGO - April 6, 2011 (Investorideas.com newswire) Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB: AEMD) disclosed today that its Chairman and CEO, James A. Joyce has issued the following letter to shareholders.

To our Shareholders:
On April 1st, we submitted a contract response to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) related to the Dialysis Like Therapeutics (DLT) program referenced in my last shareholder letter. In our submission, we proposed to leverage our technology platform to deliver a dialysis-like therapy that would address precursors to sepsis, including bacterial toxins, viral pathogens, and disease enhancing particles transported by exosomes. We believe our proposal meets goals underlying the DLT program as the resulting device would target to reduce the occurrence of sepsis and would provide decision-free and life saving medical care for the wounded warfighter. Additionally, we introduced an innovative strategy to deliver our dialysis-like therapy without the need for anticoagulants, as well as a novel approach to selectively clear whole bacteria from circulation.
If selected for an award, several larger organizations and industry thought leaders have agreed to partner with us to advance our program proposals. It is anticipated that the DLT program awards will be announced in the next 120 days. We are now collaborating with our advisors to determine the next contract or grant opportunity to pursue. Beyond non-dilutive bioterror and pandemic threat funding opportunities, we are also evaluating potential responses to new government programs in Hepatitis-C, HIV, and Cancer.
In addition to navigating government funding opportunities, we are actively advancing research and clinical initiatives in both infectious disease and cancer. On the clinical front, I am pleased to disclose that we our close to submitting our updated IDE to the FDA. The goal of our submission is approval from the FDA to initiate Hemopurifier� human studies in the United States. Details regarding our FDA communications and clinical site locations can be expected through forthcoming news disclosures.
In regards to our HCV treatment study in India, we initiated treatment of our first patient at the Medanta Medicity Institute, which was observed by our President, Rod Kenley. In previous studies, we demonstrated significant viral load reductions in health compromised dialysis patients that were infected with either HCV or HIV. In this study, we are leveraging those results to demonstrate that our Hemopurifier� can accelerate viral load reduction when administered to non-dialysis patients in combination with drug therapy. Based on a prior clinical validation, we are confident in our capabilities and recognize the potential significance of our Hemopurifier� as viral load depletion rates in the earliest stages of therapy are considered predictive of patients who achieve long-term clinical benefit. In the treatment of our first patient, it was recognized early on that that we needed to modify our protocol to administer anticoagulants in dosages specific to our therapy, and not in amounts normally administered to dialysis patients. Regardless, there was no harm to this patient, although the anticoagulant miscalculation did not allow him to successfully complete his entire treatment. While causing a delay of several weeks, our protocol has been formally amended and we are now ramping up patient enrollment. We are also seeking to open up our study to those residing outside of India, based on worldwide inquiries from infected individuals.
In closing, I also wish to disclose that Jeff Richardson has agreed to rejoin our team on a part-time basis. While you may or may not recall Jeff, he was responsible for originating national news coverage our technology through multiple media outlets, including Popular Science, CNN, and Readers Digest. As the former communications director at Amgen, Jeff provides tremendous insight on advancing the awareness of innovative medical therapies through the national media.
On behalf of our dedicated team at Aethlon Medical, I thank you for your continued support.
Very truly yours,
James A. Joyce
Chairman, CEO
