About GeoVax Labs, Inc.

GeoVax is a biotechnology company developing human vaccines for diseases caused by HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus - that leads to AIDS) and other infectious agents. Our goals include developing HIV/AIDS vaccines for global markets, oversee manufacturing and testing of these vaccines under GMP/GLP conditions (FDA guidelines), conducting clinical trials for vaccine safety and effectiveness, and obtaining regulatory approvals to move the product forward. All preventative Phase 1 human clinical trials conducted to date tested various combinations and doses of our DNA and MVA vaccines, their ability to raise anti-HIV immune responses, as well as the vaccinesaEUR(TM) safety. Successful results from all Phase 1 testing supported the initiation of the first Phase 2 testing. GeoVaxaEUR(TM)s Phase 2 human trial began in January 2009 and will ultimately involve 300 participants at sites in the United States and South America. Earlier this year, patient enrollment began in a Phase 1 therapeutic trial for individuals infected with HIV. Long term, we expect that GeoVax will grant manufacturing and distribution rights in several global markets in return for upfront fees, collaborative development agreements, and royalties on sales and distribution revenues. Internal vaccine manufacturing and distribution will also be considered by GeoVax. For more information, please visit http://www.geovax.com.

News Today:

ATLANTA, Sept 27, 2010 aEUR" Harriet L. Robinson, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer at GeoVax Labs, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GOVX), a biotechnology company that creates, develops and tests innovative HIV/AIDS vaccines, will present the results of a study using granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) as an adjuvant for the GeoVax DNA/MVA vaccine at the AIDS Vaccine 2010 conference to be held in Atlanta from September 28 to October 1. The talk, to be given on Thursday, September 30th in a symposium titled aEURoeBlocking HIV/SIV TransmissionaEUR will report the findings of a preclinical study conducted at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center at Emory University led by Drs. Lilin Lai, Rama Amara and Robinson. The study was supported by GeoVax with funding provided through an Integrated Preclinical/Clinical AIDS Vaccine Development (IPCAVD) grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

The team used simian immunodeficiency virus (SIVmac)239 vaccines and a heterologous SIVsmE660 challenge in rhesus macaques to test the utility of co-expressed GM-CSF in the DNA vaccine. The inclusion of the GM-CSF in the vaccine increased protection from 25% to 71%. The protection appeared to completely block infection (versus merely controlling infection), providing what is called aEURoesterilizingaEUR immunity, a highly desirable characteristic for an AIDS vaccine. Impressively, the protection was against 12 weekly intrarectal exposures at a dose estimated to be 100 to 1000 times higher than typical human exposures during heterosexual transmission.

Dr. Robinson said, aEURoeOur results suggest that a GM-CSF-adjuvanted DNA/MVA HIV/AIDS vaccine may be able to achieve much higher levels of prevention of infection than achieved in the ground-breaking study in Thailand in which 31% of participants were protected by a vaccine.aEUR

A correlate, or marker, for the immune responses that had blocked infection, was the avidity (tightness of binding) of the vaccine-induced antibodies for the envelope glycoprotein of the challenge virus. The HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein is the aEURoekeyaEUR for HIV-1 entry into cells. aEURoeThis is the first time prevention of infection has been associated with a vaccine-induced antibody response and is an exciting result for the AIDS vaccine field where a primary goal has been to raise antibody that can block incoming virus,aEUR said Dr. Robinson.

The adjuvanted vaccine study establishes a new benchmark for protection in the preclinical SIV model, achieving a level of protection that is similar to the highly successful polio vaccine. The unadjuvanted HIV-1 form of the vaccine has proven to be both safe and immunogenic in human clinical trials and has advanced to a Phase 2a trial through the US NIH sponsored HIV Vaccine Trials Network. aEURoeHistorically, the use of GM-CSF in humans has been quite safe,aEUR said Dr. Robinson. aEURoeThus there is considerable promise for successful translation of these preclinical findings into human protection.aEUR

aEURoeWe continue to move forward with the current version of our vaccine in Phase 2 human trials and have no plans to alter that program,aEUR said Dr. Robert McNally, CEO of GeoVax. aEURoeBut the data from this study are so compelling that we are accelerating the planning to move the GM-CSF-adjuvanted vaccine into human trials as quickly as possible. Should the current version of our vaccine prove suboptimal, the adjuvanted vaccine will be a strong reserve - and at the very least, it could become the second generation of our HIV vaccine.aEUR

About CytoSorbents and CytoSorb(TM)

CytoSorbents Corporation, and its operating subsidiary CytoSorbents, Inc., is a critical care focused therapeutic device company in clinical trials to treat severe sepsis, often called aEURoeoverwhelming infection,aEUR with a novel blood purification device called CytoSorb(TM). Severe sepsis afflicts more than 1 million people in the United States and an estimated 18 million people worldwide each year, killing one in every three patients despite the best treatment. In the United States, more die from severe sepsis than from either heart attacks, strokes or any single form of cancer. Severe sepsis is typically triggered by bacterial infections like pneumonia, or viral infections like influenza. However, it is the bodyaEUR(TM)s abnormal immune response to the trigger that leads to severe inflammation and the unregulated, massive production of cytokines, often called aEURoecytokine storm,aEUR that then causes multi-organ failure and often death. CytoSorb(TM) is a cartridge containing highly porous polymer beads that are designed to filter cytokines and treat potentially fatal cytokine storm. As blood is pumped repeatedly through the CytoSorb(TM) cartridge using standard dialysis equipment, the beads bind and remove cytokines and other toxins from blood. The treated blood is then returned to the patient. The Company is currently conducting its European Sepsis Trial aEUR" a multi-center, randomized, controlled clinical trial using CytoSorb(TM) to treat up to 100 patients with severe sepsis in the setting of respiratory failure. Pending a successful trial, the Company will seek CE Mark approval and commercialization of CytoSorb(TM) in the European Union. Importantly, cytokine reduction via CytoSorb(TM) has broad applicability to a number of other critical care diseases where cytokine storm plays a detrimental role, including burn and smoke inhalation injury, trauma, acute respiratory distress syndrome, advanced influenza, acute pancreatitis and other. CytoSorb(TM) is one of a number of different resins designed for various medical applications, including improved dialysis, the potential treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, rhabdomyolysis in trauma, removal of chemotherapy during treatment of cancer with high dose regional chemotherapy, drug detoxification and others.

News Today:

MONMOUTH JUNCTION, NJ, Sep 27, 2010 aEUR" CytoSorbents Corporation (OTCBB: CTSO), a critical care focused company using blood purification to treat life-threatening illnesses, announced the achievement of ISO 13485:2003 Full Quality Systems certification, a major milestone. ISO 13485 is an internationally recognized quality standard designed to ensure that medical device manufacturers have the necessary comprehensive management systems in place to safely design, develop, manufacture and distribute medical devices in the European Union (E.U.). It is a regulatory requirement of the E.U.aEUR(TM)s Medical Device Directive and an important step toward attaining European CE Mark approval.

Dr. Phillip Chan, Chief Executive Officer, stated, aEURoeWe are very pleased to have attained this key milestone. ISO 13485 certification confirms that our manufacturing and quality systems meet the same high standards required of other major US medical device companies selling into Europe. Of the possible options, Full Quality Systems certification is the most stringent and efficient route to CE Mark approval for CytoSorb(TM) and other future CytoSorbents products. When coupled with CE Mark approval, ISO 13485 certification will allow CytoSorbents to commercialize its products in the E.U. market and other countries that recognize the ISO 13485 and CE Mark standards.aEUR
