Press Release Body = Licensing Agreement signed between HyperOmics Farma Inc and the
Biotechnology Research Institute (NRC)

Following up on the signed agreement between HyperOmics Farma and the Biotechnology
Research Institute (BRI) last year, for the commercialization of monoclonal
antibodies developed through the BRI's Custom Antibody Service, the first antibody
(anti-GST) is now available. As per the commercialization agreement, HyperOmics has
the sole rights to all antibodies from this Service platform for research and all
"non-therapeutic" purposes. As per the agreement signed, this first antibody is now
commercially available through HyperOmics Farma.

\"We are honoured to be working alongside pre-eminent scientists such as Dr. Malcolm
Whiteway," said HyperOmics Farma President Michel Dominguez. "We are pleased to be
able to commercialize the high quality antibodies generated by this team and we hope
that this is the beginning of a long and mutually satisfying relationship."
The first antibody against Glutathione S-Transferase (GST) is an essential tool for
research. GST fusion proteins are one of the major systems used for protein
expression and purification. This newly developed antibody is exceptional in that
it can be used at the low nanogram per ml range as compared to a working dilution
that is one order of magnitude higher for other commercially available anti-GST
antibodies. Moreover, this new antibody recognizes both native and denatured forms
of the protein.

HyperOmics and the BRI are also working on new monoclonal antibodies that they plan
to have available by the beginning of 2006.
