XPro1595 Improves Outcomes in a Mouse
Model of TBI-induced Alzheimer's Disease
TNF is involved in the development of Alzheimer's Disease pathology
following traumatic brain injury and is prevented by neutralization of soluble TNF by
Boca Raton, Florida, April 19, 2023 (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 pre-clinical data detailing research led by Kirsty J. Dixon
of the Department of Surgery, Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), and Elliott Mufson, Barrow Neurological Institute. In the pre-clinical
study, Alzheimer's Disease related amyloid pathology increased after Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in an at-risk mouse model. Treatment
with XPro one hour after TBI prevents the development of amyloid pathology in the brain. These data show that soluble TNF drives
the development of amyloid pathology after TBI, which can be prevented by neutralizing sTNF with XPro .
"The unfortunate reality of TBI is that the acute injury often
overshadows the long-term consequences, which includes the potential for later developing Alzheimer's disease," said Kirsty
Dixon, Assoc. Prof. of Surgery at VCU. "My team that includes Ph.D. student Michelle Taylor, and MD/Ph.D. student Chelsie Poffenberger
investigate the role of soluble TNF in both the acute injury setting and chronically following TBI. We hope this research may determine
the relationship between TBI and AD."
"TBI remains a major health problem affecting more than 50
million people worldwide per year," said RJ Tesi MD, CEO of INmune Bio, "Few realize that the elderly have the greatest
risk of hospitalizations and death due to TBI. The ability of XPro to prevent amyloid formation after head injury suggests early intervention
may help to prevent the development of AD in the elderly with TBI."
The Company provided XPro1595 to Kirsty Dixon and her research team
through an MTA collaboration with VCU. The Company, and its research partners continue to investigate the involvement of soluble TNF and
potential applications of XPro1595 for treating disease. The data was presented in a poster at the AD/PD 2023 International Conference
on Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease in Gothenburg, Sweden on 1 April 2023.
XPro is a next-generation inhibitor of tumor necrosis factor
(TNF) that is currently in clinical trials and acts differently than currently available TNF inhibitors in that it neutralizes soluble
TNF (sTNF), without affecting trans-membrane TNF (tmTNF) or TNF receptors. XPro could potentially have substantial beneficial effects
in patients with neurologic disease by decreasing neuroinflammation and restoring innate immune cell function. For more information about
the importance of targeting neuroinflammation in the brain to improve cognitive function and restore neuronal communication visit this

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 that are both in clinical trials: The Dominant-Negative Tumor Necrosis Factor (DN-TNF) product
platform utilizes dominant-negative technology to selectively neutralize soluble TNF, a key driver of innate immune dysfunction and a
mechanistic driver of many diseases. DN-TNF product candidates are in clinical trials to determine if they can treat cancer (INB03 ),
Early Alzheimer's disease, and treatment-resistant depression (XPro ). The Natural Killer Cell Priming Platform includes INKmune
developed to prime a 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 and solid tumor malignancies, and chronic
inflammation. To learn more, please visit www.inmunebio.com.
