About The Immune Response Corporation
The Immune Response Corporation (Nasdaq: IMNR) is a biopharmaceutical
company dedicated to becoming a leading immune-based therapy company in HIV
and multiple sclerosis (MS). The Company's HIV products are based on its
patented whole-killed virus technology, co-invented by Company founder Dr.
Jonas Salk, to stimulate HIV immune responses. REMUNE(R), currently in Phase
II clinical trials, is being developed as a first-line treatment for people
with early-stage HIV. The Company has initiated development of a new
immune-based therapy, IR103, which incorporates a second-generation
immunostimulatory oligonucleotide adjuvant and is currently in Phase I
clinical trials in Canada and the United Kingdom.
The Immune Response Corporation is also developing an immune-based therapy
for MS, NeuroVax(TM), which is currently in Phase II and has shown potential
therapeutic value for this difficult-to-treat disease.

This news release contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements are often signaled by forms of words such as should, could, will,
might, plan, projection, forecast, expect, guidance, potential and developing.
Actual results could vary materially from those expected due to a variety of
risk factors, including whether the Company will continue as a going concern
and successfully raise proceeds from financing activities sufficient to fund
operations and additional clinical trials of REMUNE(R), NeuroVax(TM) or IR103,
the uncertainty of successful completion of any such clinical trials, the fact
that the Company has not succeeded in commercializing any drug, the risk that
REMUNE(R), NeuroVax(TM) or IR103 might not prove to be effective as either a
therapeutic or preventive vaccine, whether future trials will be conducted and
whether the results of such trials will coincide with the results of
REMUNE(R), NeuroVax(TM) or IR103 in preclinical trials and/or earlier clinical
trials. These risks, among others, are set forth in The Immune Response
Corporation's SEC filings including, but not limited to, its Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, and any subsequent Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q. The Company undertakes no obligation to update the
results of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances
after today or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
