Interview Follow-Up March 31, 2011:

InvestorIdeas: In our interview last week, we discussed the unprecedented opportunity for organizations with treatment candidates against bioterror or pandemic threats to attract non-dilutive funding support from a variety of government agencies. Are these programs really a good use for taxpayer dollars?

 Mr. Joyce: Well, with the exception of treatments stockpiled against a few defined threats, our civilian and military populations remain naked against pathogen threats most likely to be weaponized in a bioterror attack or emerge naturally to trigger a pandemic outbreak. However, the fear of the next biological weapon attack or pandemic outbreak is not the only rationale for spending taxpayer dollars on these programs. It should be recognized that these programs provide the impetus for therapeutic innovation that could lead to landmark advances in healthcare.

InvestorIdeas : What kind of therapeutic innovation are we talking about?

Mr. Joyce: Since the focus of government programs has been redirected to supporting broad-spectrum countermeasures, the resulting innovation might be the introduction of life-saving therapies that are effective against pathogens created by man to circumvent traditional drugs and vaccines. Or perhaps, pathogens that might emerge naturally and therefore would not have a corresponding drug or vaccine. Much like the SARS outbreak of 2003. It would seem that such innovation would transcend the treatment of bioterror and pandemic threats to provide new therapeutic strategies against mainstream disease conditions as well.

InvestorIdeas: Do you consider Aethlon Medical to be an innovative company?

Mr. Joyce: Absolutely. Innovation by definition requires taking an entirely different and sometimes more difficult path to achieve an objective. No long ago, it was believed that only drugs or vaccines could address viral infections. We didn't agree. So we created a medical device, the Hemopurifier® that might just redefine the premise of how to treat infectious disease. In fact, we are gathering evidence that suggests our Hemopurifier® has attributes beyond the capabilities of drug agents.

InvestorIdeas: Can you elaborate further on that statement?

Mr. Joyce: First and foremost, I am not aware of any drug candidate that has demonstrated our breadth of capabilities against viral pathogens, and certainly, a vaccine strategy cannot addresses multiple strains, species, and families of viral pathogens. Beyond that, our device fills an unmet medical need of removing immunosuppressive proteins shed by viruses, and we recently discovered our Hemopurifier® captures disease enhancing exosomes that underlie both infectious disease and cancer. Yet, while these attributes may be beyond the reach of traditional drug and vaccine strategies, they offer to improve the benefit of drug and vaccine strategies. In that regard, I would like to think the combination of our device with drugs would provide for a win-win scenario.

InvestorIdeas: In closing, is there anything else you would like to tell us about your Hemopurifier®?

Mr. Joyce: The device has demonstrated great promise in treating HIV and Hepatitis-C patients and it should be considered the leading broad-spectrum treatment countermeasure against biological weapons and naturally emerging pandemic threats. We are now seeking to leverage the technology platform utilized to create our Hemopurifier®, to build new therapeutic candidates to address other disease conditions, including a device targeted to reduce the occurrence of sepsis.
