About TNI BioTech, Inc.

TNI BioTech, Inc. is a biotech company with the goal of benefitting patients with chronic and often life-threatening diseases through the activation and rebalancing of the body's immune system, using our patented immunotherapy.

Our products, technologies and patents are designed to harness the power of the immune system to improve the treatment of cancer, chronic infections such as HIV/AIDS, and autoimmune diseases and, such as Crohn's disease, other types of inflammatory bowel disease, and multiple sclerosis.

Our most advanced clinical programs involve immunotherapy with methionine-enkephalin (MENK) or low dose naltrexone, which both work by triggering opioid receptors on immune cells, leading to an activation and expansion of various cells of the immune system.

Our proprietary technology, therapies and patents, will be used to treat a wide range of cancers. Our most advanced clinical programs involve immunotherapy that works by augmenting the number and functions of both T cells and natural killer (NK) cells in patients with deficient immune responses associated with advanced cancer or HIV/AIDS, and by rebalancing the immune responses in patients with autoimmune diseases, including Crohn's disease and multiple sclerosis.
