Guest guest Posted February 16, 2000 Report Share Posted February 16, 2000 Bio-Technology General Corp. Announces Initial Hepatitis-B Vaccine Monday February 14 9:48am Source: BusinessWire ISELIN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 14, 2000--Bio-Technology General Corp. (NASDAQ:BTGC) today announced that it has received approval to market its genetically engineered hepatitis B vaccine, Bio-Hep-B, from the Israel Ministry of Health. This product, the first recombinant hepatitis B vaccine to be approved anywhere in the world that integrates the S, pre-S1, and pre-S2 surface proteins of the virus, enables successful immunization with significantly lower doses of vaccine than other recombinant hepatitis B vaccines. Bio-Hep-B represents the most advanced hepatitis B vaccine in terms of its efficacy profile. BTG's Bio-Hep-B has been tested in a broad-based clinical research program in several thousand individuals, including adults, children, neonates, individuals at high-risk for infection, immunosuppressed individuals, and non-responders to other hepatitis B vaccines. In all of BTG's studies, Bio-Hep-B elicited a quicker response and higher levels of circulating antibodies to the hepatitis B virus than other recombinant hepatitis B vaccines. This suggests the potential, when utilizing Bio-Hep-B, for faster and better protection against the virus. " We are enormously pleased to have received our first approval for Bio-Hep-B, " stated Sim Fass, Chairman and CEO of Bio-Technology General, " and we intend to launch it in Israel at the earliest opportunity. Of much greater commercial significance, however, is that the Israeli approval, together with a Certificate of Free Sale, allows us and our licensees, Swiss Serum, SciGen, and Afrovax to initiate the registration process for Bio-Hep-B in many countries around the world. In addition, in some territories, the Israeli approval and Certificate of Free Sale are themselves sufficient for us to offer Bio-Hep-B for sale immediately. We believe Bio-Hep-B will have wide appeal in many countries where hepatitis B is endemic. We expect it to prove to be a superior alternative to both plasma derived vaccines and recombinant vaccines, such as Recombivax HB® and Engerix-B®, which incorporate only the S antigen. We intend, together with our partners, to actively compete in the $1 billion worldwide market for hepatitis B vaccines.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Due to the trouble I have had with spam, I request that any group message that might include myself, please send the copy to me as a blind copy (BCC) so the multitude of others may not see my e-mail address. I might also suggest that all recipients be send as BCC. If for some reason, you cannot send to me as BCC, please delete my name and address from your distribution list. Thanks for you understanding.KG6EE <kg6ee@...> wrote: Iran: Jews, Christians Must Wear Badges In a move reminiscent of the Nazis forcing Jews to wear a Star of insignia, Iran’s parliament has reportedly passed a law requiring Jews, Christians and other religious minorities to wear color-coded badges to identify them as non-Muslims. The law would also set a dress code for all Iranians, requiring them to wear "standard Islamic garments.” The law, which must be approved by Iran's "Supreme Leader" Ali Khamenei before taking effect, requires Iran's roughly 25,000 Jews to sew a yellow strip of cloth on the front of their clothes. Christians would be forced to wear red badges and Zoroastrians would wear blue cloth, according to Canada’s National Post. "This is reminiscent of the Holocaust," said Rabbi Marvin Hier, dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles. . . .http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2006/5/19/155943.shtml?s=ic?s=im How low will we go?
