Kane Biotech Inc. (TSX VENTURE:KNE), a biotechnology company engaged in the
development of products that prevent and remove microbial biofilms, is pleased
to announce that the creation of the Master Cell Bank for manufacturing
DispersinB(TM) has successfully been completed. The Master Cell Bank provides a
pure cell culture for manufacturing clinical grade DispersinB(TM) by
fermentation in a cGMP facility.


"This is a key step in the manufacturing process of clinical grade
DispersinB(TM)", stated Gord Froehlich, President and CEO for Kane Biotech. "We
are very pleased with the progress BioVectra has made and we now look forward to
the next step of manufacturing the antimicrobial wound gel using clinical grade
DispersinB(TM)."


"The successful creation and quality release of the DispersinB(TM) Master Cell
Bank represents a significant milestone in the creation of a commercial process
for the DispersinB(TM) wound gel", stated Scott Doncaster, Director of
Manufacturing for BioVectra. "The DispersinB(TM) Master Cell Bank was designed
to be 100% compliant with the current International Conference on Harmonization
("ICH") quality guidelines for expression constructs of therapeutic proteins
(ICH Q5B). As the DispersinB(TM) wound gel progresses through the developmental
phases, this compliance standard will allow for the acceptance of the
DispersinB(TM) manufacturing process by worldwide regulating agencies."


DispersinB(TM) is a novel antibiofilm enzyme capable of both inhibiting and
dispersing bacterial biofilms. Kane Biotech has received a patent from the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office for DispersinB(TM) and has been awarded a $405,000
contribution from the National Research Council-Industrial Research Assistance
Program (NRC-IRAP) to further develop this technology. Kane Biotech is presently
using DispersinB(TM) alone, and in combination with other antimicrobial agents,
to develop a wound care therapy and a proprietary medical device coating.

About Kane Biotech Inc.

Kane Biotech is a biotechnology company engaged in the development of products
to prevent and remove biofilms. Biofilms are a major cause of a number of
serious medical problems including chronic infections and medical device related
infections. They develop on surfaces such as catheters, prosthetic implants,
teeth, lungs and the urogenital tract. Biofilms are pervasive, costly to deal
with and are involved in approximately 80% of all human bacterial infections.
The healing of chronic wounds alone costs the Unites States health care system
$20 Billion per year.




Kane Biotech is currently developing two lead technology platforms:

- DispersinB(TM), a novel antibiofilm enzyme that inhibits as well as
  disperses microbial biofilms, with applications in wound care, medical
  devices, oral care and animal healthcare. Kane is currently developing
  a DispersinB(TM) based antibiofilm/antimicrobial wound gel for healing
  chronic wounds.

- PS/CHX, a broad-spectrum antimicrobial/antibiofilm composition comprising
  FDA-approved protamine sulfate and chlorhexidine, with applications in
  anti-infective medical device coatings, animal care and dairy and food
  processing industries. This technology has been licensed to Harland
  Medical Systems to develop antimicrobial urinary and venous access
  catheters.
