 join its Board of Directors.  Mr. Stagnaro is President and CEO of Agile
 Therapeutics, a private company focused on developing women's healthcare
 products.  Mr. Stagnaro formerly was president and CEO of 3-Dimensional
 Pharmaceuticals and Univax Biologics.
     "Protalex's management recognizes that it is essential to add individuals

 strategic guidance, both in our development of Protalex's bioregulator
 products and in identifying new opportunities in this market."
     Mr. Stagnaro began his career with Searle Laboratories and has held
 increasingly important positions during his 30 years in the pharmaceutical

 companies and took Univax Biologics public in 1972.  His present company,
 Agile Therapeutics, is a development-stage research-based firm founded in 1997

     Protalex will soon begin human testing of its unique bioregulator product,
 which holds promise of actually reversing rather than just palliating the
 symptoms of autoimmune disease.  Initial testing will involve patients with
 Rheumatoid Arthritis, but Protalex anticipates future validation of the
 product for the treatment of a wide range of autoimmune diseases.
