INmune Bio, Inc. Announces Professor Mark Lowdell, PhD, CSO
to Deliver Presentations at Two Upcoming Medical Meetings
Innate Killer Digital Summit 2021, which is being held March
Festival of Biologics USA: World Immunotherapy Congress 2021,
which is being held March 29-April 1
LA JOLLA, Calif, March 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- INmune Bio,
Inc. (NASDAQ: INMB) (the, "Company"), a clinical-stage immunology company focused on developing treatments that harness
the patient's innate immune system to fight disease, announced today that Professor Mark Lowdell, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer
of INmune Bio, will deliver presentations at two upcoming medical meetings.
Innate Killer Digital Summit 2021, March 23-25
Title: Exploring the Network of Cellular Interactions of
NK Cells in the Tumor Microenvironment
Date: Thursday, March 25
In this presentation, Dr. Lowdell will discuss the company's
latest data and the discovery of a new mechanism of action of its NK-priming immunotherapy, "INKmune". INKmune
is a clinical stage proprietary tumor cell line which is administered intravenously and primes NK cells to kill otherwise resistant
tumors. INKmune -primed NK cells have been shown to kill a wide variety of solid and hematological cancer cells in preclinical
Use of two of the latest state-of-the-art cell:cell analysis technologies
has demonstrated that INKmune increases NK cell killing of tumor cells by strengthening the binding of the NK to the tumor
cell; the avidity. Our preclinical studies show that the robust immune synapse created by INKmune priming is greater than
that induced by conventional cytokine activation (IL-2 or IL-15) and allows more rapid NK-mediated killing which was confirmed
by videomicrography. These INKmune -primed NK cells are not only more efficient killers of tumor cells but are able to overcome
inhibition by regulatory cells and hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment.

Festival of Biologics USA: World Immunotherapy Congress 2021,
Session: Cell and Gene Therapy
Title: Enhancing the Cellular Interactions Between NK Cells
Date: Monday, March 29
This second presentation will focus on the immunobiology of the
NK:tumor immune synapse and the impact of tumor cell susceptibility to NK killing on NK exhaustion and the ability to lyse multiple

INKmune is an experimental biologic undergoing clinical trials
that is a pharmaceutical-grade, replication incompetent tumor cell that delivers essential priming signals to patients' resting
NK cells. INKmune is delivered by IV infusion. Once in the patient's system, INKmune comes in contact with
resting NK cells. The interaction converts NK cells to "primed NK cell" (pNK) similar to an "on-off" switch.
pNK then remain primed until they contact and kill cancer cells. INKmune-primed NK cells have a mRNA fingerprint which is fundamentally
different to NK cells activated with IL-2 or IL-15.
About INmune Bio, Inc.
INmune Bio, Inc. is a publicly traded (NASDAQ: INMB), clinical-stage
biotechnology company focused on developing treatments that target the innate immune system to fight disease. INmune Bio has two
product platforms. The DN-TNF product platform utilizes dominant-negative technology to selectively neutralize soluble TNF, a key
driver of innate immune dysfunction and mechanistic target of many diseases. DN-TNF is currently being developed for COVID-19 complications
(Quellor ), cancer (INB03 ), Alzheimer's and Treatment Resistant Depression (XPro1595), and NASH (LIVNate ).
The Natural Killer Cell Priming Platform includes INKmune aimed at priming the patient's NK cells to eliminate minimal
residual disease in patients with cancer. INmune Bio's product platforms utilize a precision medicine approach for the treatment
of a wide variety of hematologic malignancies, solid tumors and chronic inflammation. To learn more, please visit www.inmunebio.com.
