6 POTELLIGENT Technology

7 POTELLIGENT Technology Technology that applies an intelligent approach to creating more potent antibodies 100% fucose-free antibodies uses a proprietary fucosyltransferase-knockout (FUT8-KO) CHO cell line as a production cell Fucose-free mabs have markedly higher antibody-dependent dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) than fucosylated mabs Eight POTELLIGENT mabs in clinic Licensed by BioWa Intellectual properties of POTELLIGENT technology: Title PCT US Method of Modulating The Activity of Functional Immunological Molecules WO00/61739 A1 (Priority date 04/09/99) US7,214,775 (US2005/ ) EP A1 covers composition o of matter of fucose-free ee Mabs Antibody composition-producing cell WO02/31140 A1 US6,946,292 covers FUT8-KO mammalian cells (US2003/ ) EP A1 slide 7

8 POTELLIGENT mabs in Clinical Studies Compounds Target Ag Indication(s) Preclinical Phase-1 Phase-2 BIW-8405/MEDI-563 (KHK/MedImmune) KW-0761 (KHK/Amgen) IL-5R Asthma Immunology Allergy/ Immunology CCR4 Blood tumor / Oncology MDX-1401 (Medarex) CD30 Lymphoma MDX-1342 (Medarex) CD19 RA/CLL MDX-1411 (Medarex) CD70 RCC Oncology Immunology / Oncology Oncology Undisclosed - - Undisclosed - - BIW-8962 (KHK) GM2 Blood tumors Oncology slide 8

10 POTELLIGENT and ADCC : N-acetylglucosamine : bisec GlcNAc : Mannose : Galactose : Sialic acid : Fucose Relationship between ADCC and structure of N-linked oligosaccharide id of antibody 1. Boyd et al. Mol.Immunol.1995: Sialic acid No effect 2. Kumpel et al. Hum. Antib. Hybrid. 1994: (+) Gal 2 to 3-fold increase of ADCC 3. Umana et al. Nat. Biotech. 1999: (+) BisecGlcNAc 10-fold increase of ADCC 4. Shinkawa et al. JBC J.B.C. 2003: POTELLIGENT (-) Fuc more potent ADCC than (+) Gal or (+) BisecGlcNAc Fucose Asn 297 slide 10

11 POTELLIGENT and ADCC Target Cell Antibody IgG1 ADCC FcγRIIIaγ NK Cell Enhanced ADCC has been confirmed by multiple antibodies Rituximab anti-t cell Mab Cytotoxici ity (%) mab concentration (µg/ml) POTELLIGENT mab Fucosylated mab Effector: human PBMC 37 C, 4hr incubation, LDH or Cr 51 release assay slide 11

12 Why Use the POTELLIGENT Technology Dramatically enhanced potency and efficacy of mabs Clinical results with POTELLIGENT -enhanced mabs expected to show higher efficacy in human patients when compared with nonenhanced antibodies Increased Fc receptor binding Overcomes the problem of low clinical responses due to genetic differences in the Fc receptor Lowered effective therapeutic dose of your antibodies Potential to deliver much more with much less mabs that are expected to be proven safe and well tolerated, with no immunogenic concerns Requires no change in current manufacturing process BioWa s proprietary technology works seamlessly with systems and processes already in place slide 12

13 GS and CHOK1SV

14 Industry-leading GS Gene Expression System Owned and licensed by Lonza A mammalian gene expression system For therapeutic proteins and monoclonal antibodies CHOK1SV GS-CHO and GS-NS0 cell lines Consistent and reliable means of Widely accepted generating high yielding cell lines Over 100 companies, 75 academic institutions Over 50 products in the clinic Speed 100s of high-yielding cell lines Amplification not usually created necessary (last 15 years) Stable cell lines Regulatory acceptance 7 Licensed products slide 14

15 CHOK1SV Adaptation of CHO cells to single cell suspension culture and to proteinfree medium can be problematic and time consuming One solution to this is to pre-adapt the host cell line to the desired culture conditions CHOK1SV is a suspension variant of CHO-K1 which has been preadapted to chemically-defined, animal component-free (CDACF) medium CDACF media can be used throughout all stages of the cell line construction process Compatible with single-cell cloning by FACS or other automated methods Cell lines derived from CHOK1SV exhibit excellent growth characteristics Reach high h maximum viable cell concentrations ti Able to maintain cultures at high viability slide 15
