3 In Vivo Studies Confirm Favorable Immunological Profile
Immunosuppression not required with MultiStem used allogeneically or xenogeneically (human → rodent) for benefit in acute MI or stroke models MultiStem serial administration safe → no evidence of allo-antibody / T-cell sensitization response MultiStem appears to modulate immune / inflammatory response regionally, not globally No interference with systemic immune response, as evaluated in ovalbumin antigen challenge studies MultiStem homes / accumulates in sites of injury in preclinical animal models 3

4 Umbilical Cord Stem Cells
Cell Types of Interest Totipotent Embryonic Stem Cells Umbilical Cord Stem Cells MAPCs Pluripotent Hematopoietic SC CD117+, CD34+ Mesenchymal SC CD117-, CD34-, SH-1+ Cardiac Myocytes, Neurons Monocytes, Neutrophils, Endothelial Cells, Hepatocytes Skeletal Myoblasts 4

5 Direct Comparison of the Effects of Allogeneic and Syngeneic MAPC
LAD ligation in Lewis Rat Genetically marked MAPC from Lewis Rat (syngeneic) SD Rat (allogeneic)

6 Vascular Effects of MAPC
vWF SMA Overlay PBS Lewis SD

7 MAPC into Lewis Rat at Time of Acute MI
75% 51% 6 weeks after Acute MI 10 million MAPC or Saline at time of MI Source of MAPC

8 Allogeneic and Syngeneic MAPC Survival and Engraftment
1 Week 6 Weeks Lewis -> Lewis Lewis -> SD

9 Syngeneic and Allogeneic MAPC Survival
Weeks after AMI MAPC Engraftment (Cells / mm2) Lewis-> Lewis Lewis->SD Recipient Strain Cells Injected at the time of AMI

10 MultiStem® Immuno-Privileged In Vitro
Mixed Lymphocyte Reaction MultiStem does not elicit In Vitro T-Cell Response in MLR Studies Donor 1 Cells (Rare alloreactive T-cells in red) Donor 2 Cells Mixture Allogeneic T-cell controls Recognition of allogeneic cells causes T-cell activation and proliferation Proliferation measurable by increase DNA synthesis T-cells don’t react to MultiStem (MAPC) Self to self 10

11 MultiStem® Immunosuppress Allogeneic T Cells
MultiStem (like MSC) Exhibits Immunosuppressive Effects On MLR (human) Dose Dependent Suppression of Allogeneic T Cell Response in MLR (Lewis rat) MAPC (MultiStem) Suppresses Immune Response Dose Dependent Effect 11

12 MultiStem Non-Interference with Systemic Immune Response
Healthy buffalo rats immunized IP with ovalbumin (OVA) Antibody study Multiple MultiStem injections and evaluation points over time T-cell study Single IV MultiStem injections OVA-Antibodies: no difference between MultiStem-treated and PBS control groups T-cell response: no difference between systemically-treated MultiStem and PBS groups Designs Results 12

13 Summary Disadvantages
Certain stem cell types (MAPC and MSC) can be used for allogeneic delivery without immunosuppression Advantages for this strategy include Delivery of cells at the time of PCI Cells from healthy and young donors Appear to deliver paracrine factors as well as autologous Disadvantages Long-term survival not yet demonstrated

14 Need for Long-term Cell Survival

15 Optical Mapping Voltage sensitive dye: Di-4-ANEPPS

16 Arrhythmia and Cell Therapy at the Time of AMI
2 Million SKMB Direct Injection 2 Million MSC IV Infusion Saline N=8-10 animal / group 1 month after AMI

17 Effect on Electrical Stability
1 month after MI * 100 80 Percent Inducible 60 40 * 20 Ctrl No MI SKMB Saline MSC Direct Injection IV Infusion *p<0.05 vs. Saline Control

18 MSC Connexin Expression in vivo
Overlay Cx40 Cx43 Cx45
