Petroleum Communication Holdings Finalizes Purchase in Stem Cell Company
LARGO, FL--(Marketwire - December 10, 2008) - Petroleum Communication Holdings, Inc. (PTLC)
Formerly "AIT Wireless, Inc." (PINKSHEETS: PTLC), announced last week it
had entered into an agreement to acquire a 15% equity position in
AmeReGen-ImmunoCure Corp. The company has now finalized the purchase.
Privately held AmeReGen-ImmunoCure has the technology and global exclusive
manufacturing rights for the highest quality assured mass-production of
CITA T-cell therapeutics for many of the hardest-to-treat cancers.
CITA therapy has become routinely available in the EU, but not yet approved
by the FDA for use in the United States. With no ethical dilemmas, "adult
T-stem cell" therapy utilizes a person's own blood T-cells, and boosts the
cancer immune surveillance system to prevent, reject, or destroy advanced
cancer with little if any side effects; even in cancer's clinically most
advanced and problematic multi-drug resistant forms, called MDR+ cancer.
General information on AmeReGen BioPharmaceuticals Inc. and on AmeReGen
ImmunoCure Corp. is available at www.stemcellsatwork.com.
The exclusive and proprietary (stem) cell manufacturing technologies
leveraged by AmeReGen-ImmunoCure Corp. includes patented breakthrough
inventions developed at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, as
well as in stem cell hot bed BioBay/Silicon Valley, California and other
leading sites.
This non-cash stock transaction has an estimated value of nearly $300
million, and continues to diversify PTLC's holdings that represent major
growth potential.
