Company hosting cPass webinar on Friday, October 22, 2021 for long-term care facilities
New York, NY, and Tel Aviv, ISRAEL, Oct. 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire -- Todos Medical, Ltd. (“Todos Medical”) (OTCQB: TOMDF), a comprehensive medical diagnostics and related solutions company, today announced the publication of an article entitled “A Practical Approach to SARS-CoV-2 Testing in Pre and Post Vaccination Era” in the peer-reviewed Journal of Clinical Virology, available online at https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667038021000363?via%3Dihub , that highlights the clinical utility of combining the cPass neutralizing antibody test in the vaccinated and COVID-recovered populations with PCR testing in the unvaccinated and not previously infected to reduce COVID-19 transmission. Todos Medical is hosting a webinar entitled “New Paradigm for Measuring Immunity in Pre- and Post-Vaccination Era” on Friday, October 22nd, 2021 at 12:00pm ET for The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine (“AMDA”), and is available for anyone to attend virtually on Todos’ YouTube Channel at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWsJLl1iB9qlZUSicQ9e-Mg.
The publication concluded, “To minimize the potential for future outbreaks, a revised testing strategy to assure initial and continued protection post-vaccination will likely be required. This could include a combination of qPCR (for non-vaccinated and susceptible people) and nAb (for previously infected and vaccinated people) assays. cPass sVNT could be a useful tool for substantiating individual immunity in a SARS-CoV-2 post-vaccination era.”
Provista Dx offers high-throughput SARS-CoV-2 PCR testing and high-throughput semi-quantitative cPass neutralizing antibody testing as services.

About Todos Medical Ltd.
Founded in Rehovot, Israel with offices in New York City, Todos Medical Ltd. (OTCQB: TOMDF) engineers life-saving diagnostic solutions for the early detection of a variety of cancers. In 2021, Todos completed the acquisition of U.S.-based medical diagnostics company Provista Diagnostics, Inc. to gain rights to its Alpharetta, Georgia-based CLIA/CAP certified lab currently performing PCR COVID testing and Provista's proprietary commercial-stage Videssa® breast cancer blood test. The Company's state-of-the-art and patented Todos Biochemical Infrared Analyses (TBIA) is a proprietary cancer-screening technology using peripheral blood analysis that deploys deep examination into cancer's influence on the immune system, looking for biochemical changes in blood mononuclear cells and plasma. Todos' two internally-developed cancer-screening tests, TMB-1 and TMB-2, have received a CE mark in Europe. Todos is focused on the commercialization of Videssa and will bring the TBIA tests to market thereafter.
Todos has entered into a joint venture with NLC Pharma targeting diagnostic and testing solutions to address the COVID-19 pandemic. The Joint-Venture is pursuing the development of diagnostic tests targeting the 3CL protease, as well as 3CL protease inhibitors that target a fundamental reproductive mechanism of coronaviruses. The Company’s proprietary therapeutic candidate Tollovir™ is currently in a Phase 2 clinical trial to treat hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Israel, and is preparing to initiate Phase 2/3 clinical trials for both hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients in Israel.
Todos is also developing blood tests for the early detection of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease. The Lymphocyte Proliferation Test (LymPro Test™) is a diagnostic blood test that determines the ability of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) and monocytes to withstand an exogenous mitogenic stimulation that induces them to enter the cell cycle. It is believed that certain diseases, most notably Alzheimer's disease, are the result of compromised cellular machinery that leads to aberrant cell cycle re-entry by neurons, which then leads to apoptosis. LymPro is unique in the use of peripheral blood lymphocytes as a surrogate for neuronal cell function, suggesting a common relationship between PBLs and neurons in the brain.
Todos is also distributing certain (COVID-19) testing materials and supplies to CLIA-certified labs in the United States. The products cover multiple suppliers of PCR testing kits, extraction kits, automation materials and supplies, as well as COVID-19 antibody and antigen testing kits.
