CDC Publishes AXIM® Biotechnologies-Sponsored Study on COVID-19 Neutralizing Antibodies

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AXIM Biotechnologies, Inc (OTCQB: AXIM) (“AXIM Biotech,” “AXIM” or “the Company”), an international healthcare solutions company targeting COVID-19 diagnostics, oncological research, and dry eye disease, announced today that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) highlighted a study that the Company sponsored on neutralizing antibodies in its recent COVID-19 Science Update: Edition 116.

Using AXIM’s rapid neutralizing antibody test, Dr. Douglas Lake and Alexa Roeder, co-lead authors of the study, reported that 25% of two-dose RNA vaccine recipients did not generate high levels of neutralizing antibodies (<50% neutralization). They called this group “vaccine poor responders.” Fortunately, a third dose converted these vaccine poor responders into strong responders with an average of 20-fold increase in neutralizing antibody levels two to four weeks after their third dose.

“As many as 25% of people do not know they did not make high levels of protective antibodies after their second dose,” said Dr. Lake. “It doesn’t matter which vaccine you get as a third dose, but it does matter that you get a third dose. Everyone has a right to know how well their vaccine worked.”

The preprint featured in the CDC update titled, “Third COVID-19 Vaccine Dose Boosts Neutralising Antibodies in Poor Responders”, was published by leading scientists including Dr. Douglas Lake, an associate professor at Arizona State University and Dr. Sergei Svarovsky, AXIM’s Chief Scientific Officer.

“Our research team has been hard at work since the pandemic started to study how we can effectively detect neutralizing antibody levels,” said John Huemoeller, CEO of AXIM Biotech. “I am thankful that the CDC sees value in the work that we have done to understand the vaccine’s impact and hope that they continue to recognize the importance of understanding our levels of neutralizing antibodies as well as the work that AXIM is doing to make that possible for the general public.”
