Ultra-High Pressure Pulse Technology Kills Conventional Pathogens Including Anthrax Ultra-High Pressure Pulse Technology May be Used to Kill Anthrax in Food, Water and Eventually Mail and Packages Boca Raton, Fla., Oct 16, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Disease Sciences, Inc. (OTC BB: DISE) announced today that the Company's research study using ultra-high pressure pulses to clean the meat and plasma supply of Scrapie infectivity, the agent believed to cause Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy ("TSE"), has been shown to disinfect all conventional pathogens, including highly resistant bacterial spores. Dr. Paul Brown, Research Study Principal Investigator and Disease Sciences Scientific Advisory Committee member, stated, "we hope this technology may be capable of reducing or eliminating the infectivity associated with the protein thought to be responsible for causing Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSE's). Resistant to temperatures of up to 400 degrees Celsius, these rogue proteins are very resilient and much harder to destroy than Conventional Pathogens used in Bio-terrorism. This technology has already been shown to kill several bacterial spore species, and it is highly probable that it could kill spores of the Anthrax Bacillus. "With the recent Anthrax scares in our own backyard and the threat of Biological terrorism throughout the United States and abroad, we would be proud to use these technologies to universally fight terrorism. With the help of Dr. Brown we may be able to develop a simple, inexpensive method for cleaning our food and water supplies should they come under attack from bio-terrorism, as well as sterilize other items such as mail and packages that could be accommodated in the pressure apparatus. Ultra-pulse high-pressure pulse technology is unique in that there is no irradiation, microwave, pasteurization or other chemical components used in this process that are harmful to humans. "Stated Dr. Wayne Goldstein CEO. About Disease Sciences Inc. Disease Sciences, Inc. is a developmental stage biopharmaceutical/clinical diagnostics Company planning to employ a broad array of technologies to detect, identify and quantify substances in blood or other bodily fluids and tissues. It's primary goal will be a Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy ("TSE") test, useful in the diagnosis of TSE diseases such as Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy ("BSE") in cattle, (commonly known as "mad-cow disease"), Scrapie in sheep, Chronic Wasting Disease ("CWD") in wild deer and elk and Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease ("CJD") in humans. Test results are to be used in the diagnosis, detection, evaluation, monitoring and potential treatment of diseases and other medical conditions. The Company intends to derive its revenues from patent sub-licensing fees, royalties from pharmaceutical sales, appropriate milestone payments and research and development contracts.
