ARRAYIT AND BIOSYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL TO PRODUCE NEW APPROACH FOR IDENTIFYING DISEASES
 

 
Sunnyvale, CA - Integrated Media Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: IMHI - News) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, TeleChem International, Inc. doing business as Arrayit Company, has entered into an exclusive agreement with BioSystems International SAS for the supply and license rights to produce state-of-the-art microarrays featuring antibodies that identify proteins uniquely expressed in human plasma.  The Human Plasma Proteome Microarray may lead to exciting new clinical applications in human disease diagnostics.
 

 
Ms. Rene Schena, CEO of Arrayit, stated, “This unique approach of using novel antibodies to detect human plasma proteins will speed the research and identification of biomarkers for early-stage disease diagnostics. The agreement provides our companies an instant opportunity to participate in the research market and ultimately in the multi-billion dollar diagnostics industry.” Mr. Jean-Pierre Tirouflet, CEO of BioSystems International, explained, “BSI is eager to license its PlasmaScan™ antibody libraries as a first step to developing global proteomics profiling tools for biomarker research enabling the identification and characterization of human disease states.” “This first step provides scientists in the proteomics industry and academia with tools that will be as useful as DNA microarrays are in gene-expression profiling,” added Laszlo Takacs BSI’s CSO.
