5 Rapid Discovery of Antigen-Antibody Pairs B-cells Sourced from Super-Responders to Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapies Extract Primary B-Cells from Sentinel Lymph Nodes + Create B Cell Fusions Using Proprietary Human Hybridoma Technology (RealMab) = Telomerase and Interleukin-6 Stabilize High-level Human Antibody Expression Generate Stable Human Hybridomas in 22 Days Select Cancer Patients Hybridomas Express Original, Fully Human Antibodies at High Fidelity Initiate Multiplex Functional Screening Process (ScreenMab) Confirm and Adapt to Suitable Format (ADC, CAR T, NK or Bi- Specific) Produce Libraries of Thousands of Antibodies Enriched for Tumor Antigen Binding Results in the Most Meaningful Cancer Specific Antigen Antibody Pairs in 6 Months 5

6 Robust Discovery Stage Pipeline Targeting Novel Antigens Antigens identified suggest diverse MOA Leads suitable for state-of-the-art approaches to targeted therapeutics Antibody Antigen Profile Targeted Indication Suitable Format IMM-002 Known cancer target involved in cell invasion Cancer cells (vs normal) express the antigen on the outer plasma membrane Breast, Lung T Cell Engager IMM-003 Internalizing Breast, Lung ADC IMM-005 IMM-009 Expression in tumor (versus normal) human tissue Post translational modification Activity in triple negative BRCA cell lines Internalizing Breast, Colon Breast, Lung T Cell Engager IMM-010 Internalizing Breast, Lung ADC ADC IMM-045 IgM post germinal center CDC activity Major Solid Tumors T Cell Engager 6

7 IMM-002: The First Recognition of this Antigen Present on the Outer Plasma Membrane A known cancer target involved in cell invasion Its location on the outer cell membrane was previously unknown Antigen confirmed via mutational analyses In normal cells, it is only intracellular Extracellular expression is induced by the genetic changes converting a normal human cell into a cancer cell The IMM-002 antigen does not internalize Antibody Antigen Profile (Features) Expression Targeted Indication Suitable Format IMM-002 Cancer (vs normal) cell express the antigen on the outer plasma membrane Known cancer target involved in cell invasion Antigen is in every cell, but overexpressed in many tumor types Breast, lung ADCC, CAR T 7

8 IMM-002 Antigen Is Expressed on Diverse Tumor Types Antibody IMM-002 Antigen Profile (Features) Cancer (vs normal) cell express the antigen on the outer plasma membrane Known cancer target involved in cell invasion Expression Antigen is in every cell, but overexpressed in many tumor types Targeted Indication Suitable Format Breast, lung ADCC, CAR T A549 Lung cancer MDA MB 231 claudin low breast cancer IMM-002 antigen expressed by all three breast cancer types as well as lung adenocarcinoma MCF7 Breast luminal A (ER+PR+) SK-BR-3 Breast HER2 8

9 IMM-002 Antigen Mutants Fail to Reach the Outer Plasma Membrane Antigen present in cells Outer plasma membrane expression only in cancer cells Loss of function mutation prevents translocation to the outer plasma membrane 9

10 Multiple Antibody Leads Internalize, Suggesting Potential as ADCs Isotype control 2 AB only Red signals denote endosomes that have internalized the mabs. Nuclei are stained blue. Extracellular signals are artifacts of cell fixation. 10

This capability enables the generation of binders that recognize known targets as well as the discovery of novel cancer antigen targets to provide a better understanding of the natural immune response to cancer...payment of Approximately $78 M and 1,289,193 Shares of Stock. Atreca, Inc., a company focused on developing novel therapeutics based on a deep understanding of the human immune response, announced today the completion of its Series A funding with a total investment of $56 million A patient s own anti-cancer immune response is the key phenomenon driving the exciting clinical outcomes seen with checkpoint inhibitors and other immune activators. OncoResponse closed a Series A financing round worth $9.5 million the startup will utilize Theraclone s I-STAR platform this technology screens antibodies produced by the human body in order to identify those that have particular sensitivity and reactivity that might be useful for cancer drugs. Five Prime will provide bluebird bio exclusive rights to its novel human antibodies to the target upfront payment and subsequent milestone payments to Five Prime, which together could total over $130 million per licensed product if certain development, regulatory, and commercial milestones are achieved. 12
