Two Leading Biotech Publications Report on Advaxis' Potential
Treatment for Cervical Cancer

PRINCETON, N.J. Dec 12, 2005 - Two leading biotech publications
reported that Advaxis, Inc. (ADXS.OB) successfully demonstrated in
testing of mice at the University of Pennslyvania that a live
listeria vaccine can eradicate existing, rapidly-growing breast
tissue tumors.

Genetic Engineering News, in its December 8th issue, reported that
Dr. Yvonne Paterson, professor of microbiology at the University of
Pennsylvania, and chair person of Advaxis' Scientific Advisory
Board, presented a study in a recent issue of the Journal of
Immunology that ten years of scientific research produced evidence
of the cancer-fighting properties of a live modified listeria cancer
vaccine she created.


Dr. Paterson's research indicates that listeria activates the body's
cytotoxic T cells to help the immune system take a stronger stance
in the presence of cancer cells, Genetic Engineering News reported.

"If Lovaxin C is successful in clinical trials it has the potential
for <a href="http://www.imhcaz.com/" >treating cervical cancer</a>
in early and late stage disease, including those women who have
positive pap smears and currently require surgery," explained John
Rothman, Advaxis'vice president of clinical development.

DrugResearcher.com, reported in its December 6th issue that Advaxis'
Lovaxin C, a proprietary listeria vaccine, "could soon be on the
horizon after researchers took a giant step in development of
effective cancer-fighting vaccines that appear to be able to stop
and reverse cancer growth."

"The newly developed vaccine therapies for cervical cancer are
directed at those women who have not been exposed to HPV, the viral
cause of cervical cancer," DrugResearcher.com reported. "Lovaxin C,
which will be entering a Phase I/II clinical trial, is intended to
cure women who already have cervical cancer as a result of HPV
exposure."

About Advaxis

Based in Princeton, New Jersey. Advaxis is developing proprietary
Listeria cancer vaccines based on technology developed by Dr. Yvonne
Paterson, professor of microbiology at the University of
Pennsylvania, and chair person of Advaxis' Scientific Advisory
Board.. Advaxis' is developing therapeutic cancer vaccines that
enhance the immune system's cancer-fighting abilities through its
proprietary Listeria monocytogenes based system, which utilizes two
immunological mechanisms (Innate and Classical Immunity) to develop
safer and more effective Listeria based cancer vaccines. Advaxis is
the exclusive licensee of a patented broadly enabling Listeria
platform technology that can elicit effective anti-tumor responses.
Advaxis' lead Listeria vaccine candidate, Lovaxin C, targets
cervical and head and neck cancers. Further Listeria vaccines in
development target breast, ovarian and lung cancers. Advaxis is
entering a Phase I/II clinical trial in late 2005. The Listeria
platform will also have applications in the fields of infectious
disease and autoimmune disorders.
