Advaxis & Kollmann Lab to Collaborate on Infectious Disease Vaccines

North Brunswick, NJ – November 8, 2010 –Advaxis, Inc., (OTCBB: ADXS), the live, attenuated Listeria monocytogenes (Listeria) immunotherapy company, has entered into a structured collaboration with the laboratory of Dr. Tobias Kollmann at the University of British Columbia (UBC) to develop live attenuated Listeria vaccines for the treatment of infectious disease, and for new forms of delivery of Listeria vaccines.

The same immune stimulating properties that are under development at Advaxis to develop live Listeria vaccines as safe and effective therapies for the treatment of cancer also may have application for the treatment of infectious disease.  Dr. Kollmann is an immunologist and neonatal vaccinologist who has published extensively on the use of Listeria vaccines as potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of childhood diseases.

Under the terms of this collaboration, Dr. Kollmann will use Advaxis proprietary Listeria vaccine vectors for the development of novel infectious disease applications, and will employ a post-doctoral fellow who will be dedicated to the creation and assessment of novel infectious disease vaccines and new forms of delivery of live attenuated Listeria vaccines.

About The Laboratory of Dr. Tobias Kollmann

Dr. Tobias Kollmann MD Ph.D is an Assistant Professor in the Division of Infectious and Immunological Diseases, Department of Pediatrics at the University of British Columbia’s Child and Family Research Institute.  According to Dr. Kollmann, “The immune system in early life is not so much less responsive, but rather responds differently as compared to the immune system of an adult. Listeria appears to activate the newborn’s immune system in just the right way, inducing long-lived protection from infection even after only one single dose given around birth.” The Kollmann lab has published several articles on the use of live attenuated vaccines for the prevention of infectious disease in neonates, which is currently an area of urgent but unmet medical need.
