EXPLANATORY NOTE/DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

     This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-8 Registration Statement relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-113299) (the “Registration Statement”) of Introgen Therapeutics, Inc. (“Registrant”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 5, 2004. The Registration Statement registered 1,326,976 shares of Registrant’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, pursuant to Registrant’s 2000 Stock Option Plan.

     As a result of the delisting of Registrant’s shares from the Nasdaq Capital Market and the fact that there are less than 300 holders of record of Registrant’s shares as of December 31, 2008, Registrant has no obligation to continue to file, and does not plan to file, periodic reports with the SEC for any periods after January 1, 2009. Registrant filed a Form 15 on January 30, 2009 to terminate its duty to file reports under Section 13(a) and 15(d) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In accordance with the undertaking made by Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, Registrant hereby removes from registration the securities of Registrant that are registered but unsold under the Registration Statement.
