Slide 6: Our approach
• Simultaneously target multiple TAAs • Target multiple epitopes (CD4 and CD8) within each antigen • T cells with native T cell receptor specificity (non - engineered) Our approach

Slide 18: Tracking infused clones in vivo
Tracking infused clones in vivo Rationale: • Infused lymphocytes are not gene modified • Leukemia specific T cell clones enriched in infused line Approach: • TCR Deep sequencing of donor - T cell product • Track expansion of line - derived clones in vivo
