IMMUNOTHERAPEUTIC TECHNOLOGIES TO COMBAT INFECTIOUS DISEASE & CANCER
Summary Clinical - stage Company Lead therapeutic - The Aethlon Hemopurifier - B road - spectrum countermeasure against emerging pandemic threats - Discovered to capture cancer - promoting exosomes Significant unmet need in cancer care Exosome Sciences, Inc. (diagnostic subsidiary) - ELLSA exosome isolation platform (virus & cancer) - Discovered a candidate biomarker to diagnose CTE
The A e thlon Hemopurifier Broad - s pectrum e limination of circulating viruses, viral particles and bacterial toxins
DEPLOYED WITHIN THE GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE OF DIALYSIS & CRRT MACHINES
The Hemopurifier Mechanism of Action Rapid separation of disease targets from the circulatory blood path Capture of disease targets through adherence to surface structure that provides immune - evasion - Lectin - affinity attachment to high - mannose signature that cloaks pathogen targets from immune surveillance
The Hemopurifier establishes a therapeutic strategy to address the hundreds of viruses that are not treatable with antiviral drug agents .
The A e thlon Hemopurifier FDA approved IDE study currently being conducted
Previous Human Treatment Experiences
BROAD - SPECTRUM HUMAN TREATMENT EXPERIENCES HIV - AIDS Hepatitis - C Ebola
The Treatment of Ebola Virus Frankfurt University Hospital Special approval from The Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM)
Hemopurifier therapy administration to a comatose Ebola patient with multiple - organ failure

Ebola Treatment Data Presented By Dr. Helmut Geiger American Society of Nephrology Annual Meeting 6.5 hour Hemopurifier therapy administration Pre - treatment viral load: 400,000 copies/ml Post - treatment viral load: 1,000 copies/ml Patient recovered and returned home

Pre - clinical Validations ( Reported t o date )
In Vitro Hemopurifier Validations Viruses - Hepatitis C, HIV, Ebola, H1N1 Swine Flu, H5N1 Bird Flu, 1918 Spanish Flu (reconstructed), Monkey Pox, West Nile Virus, Chikungunya and Dengue Viral Toxins Ebola glycoprotein ( gp ), HIV gp120, HIV NEF - exosomes Bacterial Toxins L ipopolysaccharide (LPS) and L ipoteichoic acid (LTA) Tumor - derived E xosomes
Initiated tumor - derived exosome research in 2006 Considered c ellular debris w ith n o b iological f unction CANCER
2016 Tumor - derived exosomes are significant therapeutic and diagnostic targets
Tumor - Derived Exosomes
Tumor - Derived Exosomes A Significant Unmet Medical Need in Cancer The seeds of cancer metastasis - Metastasis contributes to 90% of cancer deaths - The mystery of the Soil & Seed Theory of 1889 Tumor - derived exosomes promote: - Tumorigenesis - Cancer progression - Angiogenesis - Immune - evasion - Resistance to radiation and chemotherapeutic drugs
The Hemopurifier provides an adjunct strategy to optimize emerging immuno - oncology drugs or improve the benefit of chemotherapeutic regimens
ELLSA (Enzyme - linked lectin - specific assay) Proprietary exosome isolation platform
ELLSA Isolates disease - origin exosomes from bodily fluids - ELLSA step + specific antibody step to diagnose and monitor a variety of disease indications - Urine based proof - of - principal established in HIV Identified HIV - specific exosomes in 111 HIV - infected individuals, but not in the urine of 35 HIV negative control subjects. A potential noninvasive global strategy to diagnose HIV infection. In collaboration with Morehouse School of Medicine, who conducted the study
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE)
Discovery of CTE biomarker candidate ( TauSome ) TauSome testing was conducted in the DETECT study - In collaboration with the Boston University CTE Center Principal Investigator: Robert Stern Ph.D. - Goal: a test that could detect CTE in living individuals - 78 former NFL players (high risk CTE group) - 16 athlete controls (low risk CTE group)
Preliminary Study of Plasma Exosomal Tau as a Potential Biomarker for Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy Stern , Tripodis , Baugh, Fritts , Martin, Chaisson , Cantu, Joyce, Shah, Ikezu , Zhang, Gercel - Taylor, & Taylor J Alzheimer's Disease, 2016 Findings suggest that TauSome plasma levels may be an accurate, noninvasive CTE biomarker - TauSome levels significantly higher in the NFL group - TauSome levels correlated with cognitive decline

Control Samples - n=16 - Avg : 310,000,000 TauSomes /mL - SD: 1.9 E8 NFL Player Samples - n=78 - Avg : 2,800,000,000 TauSomes /mL - SD: 2.9 E9
TauSome Next Steps (more testing required) - Validate that TauSomes are brain - derived - Refine technique to ELLSA - antibody or other scalable methodology - Initiate TauSome studies in other tauopathies - Initiate TauSome studies in other high - risk CTE groups - TauSome testing to be included in new (up to a 17 - sites) CTE study funded by a $ 16 million NIH grant
