Advanced
Biotherapy, Inc. (OTCBB:ADVB),
pioneers in the development and use
of therapeutic antibodies, announced
that the Company completed a pilot
investigational study using
antibodies to interferon-gamma in
the treatment of patients suffering
from Genital Herpes.
Patients with recurrent genital
herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2)
genital lesions were treated
topically for several days with
investigational antibodies to
interferon-gamma. It was reported
that itching and pain were relieved
within hours of the application of
the antibody, and the eroded area of
the skin epithelialized within 3-4
days. Research indicates that the
HSV-2 causing recurrent genital
lesions may belong to a special
category of viruses, such as HIV and
certain other viruses, in which
interferons promote rather than stop
viral replication.
Genital herpes, for which there is
no specific cure, is almost always
sexually transmitted. It can be a
very painful disease manifested as a
rash, bumps, blisters, or sores in
or around the genital area
accompanied by itching, burning,
tingling, or swelling.
According to the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, 45
million people in the United States
ages 12 and older, or 1 out of 5 of
the total adolescent and adult
population, are infected with HSV-2.
