Nanobac Announces Peer Reviewed Publication Verifying Self-Propagating Calcifying Nanoparticles as a Unique Entity

TAMPA, FL ("Nanobac" or "the Company") announces the multicenter
publication of independent research, which reports on the
characterization of calcifying nanoparticles (CNPs), formerly known
as "nanobacteria," as self-propagating mineral protein complexes.
The study was led by a leading French microbiologist, the esteemed
professor Didier Raoult (Raoult et al, PLoS Pathogens, February
2008, volume 4, issue 2).
The authors undertook a comprehensive analysis of CNPs utilizing
a Nanobacterium strain provided by Nanobac's Chief Research and
Science Officer Dr. Olavi Kajander. Their goal was to gain better
insight into "such a propagating calcifying agent putatively
endowed with pathogenic properties." To address this question, the
researchers examined CNPs' propagation conditions, susceptibility
to various chemical and physical treatments and their effect on
cell viability. CNPs' nucleic acid and proteomic content were also
analyzed.
Dr. Kajander stated: "The Raoult study confirms the presence of
protein-mineral complexes, consistent with complexes published in
Nanobac's Patent Applications, which characterized numerous
proteins including fetuin, that the French group studied. The group
also hypothesized the conformational change of the proteins being
similar to those observed in prions, confirming our position. The
study also confirmed that the Company's patented 8D10 antibody
effectively detected CNPs as a unique pathogen."
"This work has significant diagnostic implications and supports
our findings. The published paper should end discussion about
whether CNPs exist, and shift the focus on what they really are and
what role they play in various diseases," said Dr. Benedict
Maniscalco, Co-Chairman and Chief Medical Officer of Nanobac
Pharmaceuticals.
About Pathologic Calcific Diseases
Irregular calcium deposits are implicated in inflammatory
diseases such as heart disease, prostatitis and arthritis, and
stone forming diseases such as kidney and gall stones. The impact
on the health care delivery system could be substantial given that
billions of dollars are spent each year on treating diseases
associated with CNPs. The company is well positioned to take
advantage of numerous diagnostic and therapeutic opportunities in
these sectors.
