Healthy life is achieved through ImmuneMed.
Human beings have been su�ering from the various infectious diseases since the history of evolution of mankind. By the virtue of the development of the modern medicine, many diseases have been possible to overcome.
Nevertheless, many more unpredictable and untreatable diseases still exist. Even though human beings, the superior
form of all creations, are still suffering from the lower microorganisms such as viruses, not enough solutions are
provided from the current modern medicine regretfully.
As a scientist, I have put all my research efforts into discovering the new potent antiviral therapeutics to overcome
the limitation of the conventional antiviral drugs.As a result of strenuous 20 years research, miraculously, I have
discovered several antiviral substances. One of them is named VSF (Virus Suppressing Factor) which shows superior
antiviral activities exceeding those of previously known antiviral substances such as interferon. VSF (Virus
Suppressing Factor) is expected to show an unprecedented, potent broad spectrum of antiviral activity.
Being free from infectious diseases has been ImmuneMed’s core corporate objective. We believe that VSF (Virus
Suppressing Factor) will be a breakthrough in the near future to improve human health. I am proud to announce that
our dedicated team of researchers is working strenuously in order to open a new break through era of antiviral
therapy for the betterment of healthier human life.
Dr. Yoon-Won KimCEO, ImmuneMed Inc.
I think that the development of VSF (Virus Suppressing Factor) as a therapeutic drug could be an unparalleled breakthrough in the treatment of incurable viral diseases of modern times.

VSFVirus Suppressing Factor
AcuteFebrile Illnesses
04 05Currently, several antivirals, such as synthetic drugs and interferons, are available on the market which still have many
limitations in their clinical applications. The continued use of chemical drugs can lead to increased resistance, and
although interferons show a broad spectrum of antiviral activity in dealing with the range of viruses, its activity is not
as good as people expected. Developed countries like the USA have started realizing the potential of composite
materials possessing promising results.
A number of possibilities have been discussed in various research papers, which are a good start, but the methods
to obtain such substances are yet in the elementary stage. So far, methods for its purification have not been
standardized. We have conducted extensive research for decades and developed techniques to obtain the
proprietary source material (VSF: Virus Suppressing Factor). The company received a US Patent in April 2010 and is
ready to submit a patent regarding appropriated human VSF worldwide.
VSF is produced in the body, similar to that of interferon; however it shows much greater antiviral activity over the
wide ranges of viruses in animal experiments than interferon. Therefore, if developed as an antiviral therapeutic, VSF
can overcome many of the limitations of existing synthetic antivirals as well as interferon.
• • • Strong in vitro and in vivo antiviral activity
• • • No resistance and little or no side effects due to its origin in the bodyf .
• • • Utilizes innate immunity acts on the cells which is effective against a wide range of viruses
• • • Due to our excellent proprietary technology to develop VSF for over 20 years, no other competitor can easily
attempt to discover and develop biologically active VSF with composite nature.
What is VSF?
Features and Advantages of VSF
Acute febrile illnesses (such as scrub typhus, leptospirosis, haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, murine typhus
etc.) are rapidly spreading in the world. These infections occur in Korea (around 100,000 people per year), Southeast
Asia and China, causing epidemics particularly in autumn. More than 10 million people are estimated to be infected
worldwide annually. The main victims of these infections are people dwelling in the wilds, such as farmers, soldiers,
and hikers.
ImmuneMed Inc. has focused on developing a rapid, accurate and reproducible acute febrile illness diagnostic kit
with high sensitivity and specificity for the past 10 years. We rea ready to announce a new AFI rapid kit that
imultaneously detects both IgM and IgG of 3 different AFI within 10 mins, based on the lateral flow
mmunochromatographic assay. The diagnostic kit was developed and met with the world class research standard.
We expect that it will be marketed from 2009. It can potentially be sold in General Hospitals, Clinical Inspection
Centers, Rural Health Centers, and Military Clinics worldwide. We also possess the proprietary materials and
technologies required for vaccine development and we are sure to develop it soon.
Acute Febrile Illness
Development of Rapid Diagnostic Kit
• • • Possess technology to distinguish individual acute febrile illnesses (scrub typhus, leptospirosis, haemorrhagic
fever with renal syndrome, murine typhus) simultaneously within 10 mins.- Confirmation of IgM and IgG at the
same time
• • • Overcoming current limitation of low sensitivity and specificity.
• • • Simultaneous detection of major AFI at once, instead of using each separate AFI diagnostic kit
• • • Tremendous demands from Southeast Asian countries and China
