2. Mission
To develop and commercialize an antiinflammatory DNA technology which
has the potential to treat diseases such as
Type 1 Diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis,
Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Asthma
and allergies.

Immunotherapy (ADI)
Next generation DNA immunotherapy
Natural control of inflammation
Programmable and versatile
Teaches body to distinguish between
friendly and dangerous cells

7. Type 1 Diabetes
2-3 million people in U.S.
ADI
1 DNA injection / week for 8 weeks
NOD mice develop autoimmune (type 1)
diabetes between ages of 11 – 21 weeks
Observe until
40 weeks old

11. Competitive Advantages
1. ADI does not rely on a single mechanistic approach. Each
component affects different arms of the immune system.
2. ADI activates key immune cells known to maintain tolerance in
both mice and humans.
3. ADI has been successfully applied to 2 different models of
inflammatory disorders: Type 1 diabetes and skin allografts.
4. ADI is plasmid DNA-based and expected to be safe.
5. ADI can be safely and repeatedly administered to achieve its full
potential therapeutic effect thereby increasing its potency for
more aggressive inflammatory conditions.
6. ADI is a DNA-based product that will be administered in very
small quantities and is cost effective.
