                CENTOCOR ACHIEVES RECORD QUARTERLY PRODUCT SALES
              - Announces Positive X-Ray Data From Attract Trial -

MALVERN, Pa., July 21, 1999 - Centocor, Inc. (Nasdaq: CNTO) today reported net
income of $9.1 million, or $0.13 per basic and diluted earnings per share, for
the second quarter of 1999.  In the second quarter of 1998, net income from
operations, excluding a net after-tax gain from significant one-time events of
$17.4 million, or $0.24 per basic and diluted share, was $1.9 million, or $0.03
per basic and diluted share.

Centocor also announced that it has obtained and plans to submit to the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) positive radiographic (x-ray) data at 30 and 54 weeks
from an ongoing clinical study of REMICADE /TM/ (infliximab) in patients with
rheumatoid arthritis.  The results show a benefit favoring REMICADE with
methotrexate over methotrexate alone at all doses studied.  The company believes
the findings meet the prospectively defined endpoint of prevention of
progression of joint damage, as measured by radiographic assessment.

Product sales were a record $115.1 million for the 1999 second quarter, an
increase of 65% from product sales of $69.9 million in the 1998 second quarter
which included $7.0 million in sales from the company's diagnostics business
that was sold in November 1998.  Excluding diagnostic sales, product sales rose
83% from the year-ago second quarter.

The gross margin was 67.6% for the second quarter of 1999 versus 65.1% in the
same period of 1998, and operating earnings before interest and taxes were 16.4%
of sales in the 1999 second quarter versus 6.2% for the three months ended June
30, 1998.

For the first half of 1999, net income from operations was $16.1 million, or
$0.23 per basic share and $0.22 per diluted share.  This compares with operating
net income of $3.5 million, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, for the six
months ended June 30, 1998.

Net income for the first half of 1999, including a one-time, after-tax gain from
the sale of an equity investment of $3.1 million, or $0.04 per basic and diluted
share, was $19.2 million, or $0.27 per basic and diluted share. For the six
months ended June 30, 1998, the basic and diluted loss was $1.72 per share on a
net loss of $121.0 million, including special charges primarily in connection
with the RETAVASE acquisition, which was completed March 13, 1998.

For the first six months of 1999, product sales were $215.6 million, a 92.7%
increase from $111.9 million in the first half of 1998, which excludes $14.5
million in diagnostic sales.  The gross margin was 67.7% and 64.3% for the first
six months of 1999 and 1998, respectively, and operating earnings before
interest and taxes improved to 14.9% for the 1999 first half compared with 3.7%
for the first six months of 1998.

Product Review

ReoPro[] (abciximab)
- --------------------

[] Second quarter end sales to customers by Eli Lilly and Company, Centocor's
marketing partner for ReoPro, were a record $114.3 million for the second
quarter of 1999, up 13% from $101 million reported in both the year-ago second
quarter and the first quarter of 1999.  The 1999 second quarter total reflects
record quarterly U.S. sales of $92.4 million and record quarterly international
sales of $21.9 million.  International sales grew 51% from the 1998 second
quarter.

[] Centocor sales to Lilly were $65.6 million in the 1999 second quarter, an
increase of 38% from $47.5 million in the same period of 1998.

[] For the six months ended June 30, 1999, ReoPro end sales were $215.2 million
versus $170.9 million in the same period last year, a 26% increase.  Centocor's
sales to Lilly were $123.6 million in the first six months of 1999, up 33% from
$93.2 million in the same period of 1998.

[] In June, ReoPro reached a major milestone in its history when cumulative
sales passed the $1 billion mark. Since its launch in early 1995, more than
750,000 patients have been treated with ReoPro.

[] During the quarter, four peer-reviewed articles about ReoPro clinical trial
data appeared in leading medical journals, as follows: the April 20 issue of
Circulation published one-year results from the EPILOG trial; The New England
Journal of Medicine featured an article on a substudy from the CAPTURE trial in
the May 27 issue; the Journal of the American College of Cardiology included an
article on the GRAPE pilot study; and an article and editorial discussing the
positive results of the TIMI 14 trial appeared in the June 1 issue of
Circulation.   Together with an article published in the March issue of the
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, this makes five peer-reviewed
articles about ReoPro in four months.  This is a tribute to the quality of
ReoPro's clinical trial data, which over the years has been a major factor in
its success.

[] During the quarter, Centocor and Lilly announced they have initiated the
Acute Coronary Syndromes Registry(TM) (ACS Registry), a database that follows
patients with ACS from symptom onset through outcome. The goal of the
multicenter, observational study is to define optimal treatment strategies for
the nearly two million Americans who suffer from acute myocardial infarction and
unstable angina each year.


RETAVASE[] (reteplase)
- ---------------------



[] RETAVASE sales were a record $24.9 million for the second quarter of 1999,
rising 64% from $15.2 million in the year-ago second quarter.  For the six
months, sales were $45.3 million in 1999 versus $27.4 million in 1998, an
increase of 65%.

[] As a result of the announcement on June 3 that Roche will exercise its call
option on the remaining Genentech, Inc. shares it does not already own in
accordance with the consent decree between Roche and the Federal Trade
Commission in connection with Roche's acquisition of Corange, Ltd., Genentech
will dismiss all pending litigation against Centocor regarding RETAVASE.
Corange was the parent company of Boehringer Mannheim, the manufacturer of
RETAVASE, when Centocor acquired the U.S. and Canadian marketing rights to
RETAVASE in March 1998.

                                     - 3 -


[] During the quarter, the GUSTO IV-AMI trial, designed to evaluate the
combination therapy of ReoPro and RETAVASE in the treatment of heart attacks,
began enrolling patients.

[] The July 1999 issue of American Heart Journal includes an article and related
editorial on a study that showed RETAVASE to compare favorably with alteplase in
massive pulmonary embolism.

[] At the upcoming European Society of Cardiology meeting, to be held August 28-
September 1, final data will be presented from the SPEED trial, the pilot study
for GUSTO IV-AMI. Final results from the TIMI 14 trial, which evaluated the
combination therapy of ReoPro and low-dose fibrinlolytics in the treatment of
heart attacks, are expected to be presented at the American Heart Association
meeting in November.

FRAGMIN(R) (dalteparin sodium injection)
- ----------------------------------------



(S)  On May 26, the FDA approved FRAGMIN for the treatment of unstable angina
and non-Q-wave myocardial infarction for the prevention of ischemic
complications due to blood clot formation in patients on concurrent aspirin
therapy.  Centocor began co-promoting FRAGMIN with Pharmacia & Upjohn in March.


REMICADE[] (infliximab)
- ----------------------


(S)  Sales of REMICADE were $23.3 million for the second quarter of 1999
compared with $21.1 million for the 1999 first quarter.  For the first half of
1999, REMICADE sales were $44.4 million.

(S)  On May 24, the European Union's Committee for Proprietary Medicinal
Products (CPMP) issued a positive opinion recommending that REMICADE be approved
for marketing in Europe for the treatment of severe Crohn's disease.  The CPMP
opinion is the basis for a European Commission approval, typically issued within
three to four months of the CPMP's recommendation.  Upon final approval,
Schering-Plough Corp. will be the exclusive distributor of the drug in Europe.

(S)  At the Digestive Disease Week meeting in mid-May, data presented from a
study in pediatric Crohn's patients showed that REMICADE dramatically improved
symptoms of the disease in the majority of the children with no significant
adverse effects from the treatment.

(S)  The May 5 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine featured an article
about a clinical trial involving 94 patients that demonstrated REMICADE's
effectiveness in healing fistulas, a serious complication of Crohn's disease.

(S)  A summary of results from the ATTRACT trial, presented at the European
League Against Rheumatism meeting in Glasgow, Scotland, on June 7, showed that
REMICADE produced significant reductions of signs and symptoms that were
sustained or further reduced from 30 weeks through 54 weeks of therapy in
patients with advanced rheumatoid arthritis.  In addition, REMICADE was
generally well tolerated and side effects were minimal.

(S)  During the quarter, patient enrollment began in the ACCENT trial, designed
to evaluate the benefits of REMICADE as maintenance therapy for Crohn's disease.
Currently, REMICADE is indicated for short-term management of the disease.

(S)  On June 11, the FDA honored Richard V. McCloskey, M.D., vice president
and chief medical officer for Centocor, with the Commissioner's Special Citation
for his role in helping develop REMICADE as a treatment for patients with
Crohn's disease.

Other


(S)  On July 1, Standard & Poor's assigned a double-`B' corporate credit rating
to Centocor, Inc.  At the same time, S&P assigned a single-`B'-plus rating to
Centocor's outstanding $460 million, 4 3/4% convertible subordinated notes due
2000.  The credit rating agency also rated the company's outlook as positive.
