1 Biopreservation Considerations for GMP Bioprocessing, Clinical Development, Supply Logistics, and Patient Delivery Aby J. Mathew, PhD Senior Vice President & Chief Technology Officer

2 Biopreservation Yield Cascading negative yield impact common to nearly all biopreservation applications Outcomes heavily affected by lack of in-process efficiencies and optimization VIABILITY AND FUNCTION Conditions for the collection, processing and pre-freeze storage of cells will directly affect post-thaw quality - Acker 2012 TIME 2 BIOLIFE SOLUTIONS, INC. 2014

3 Effect of Storage on Marrow and Blood Kao BIOLIFE SOLUTIONS, INC. 2014

4 Effect of Upstream Storage on Downstream Cryopreservation Transfusion epub ahead of print, BIOLIFE SOLUTIONS, INC. 2014

5 Impact of Limited Shelf Life/Stability Which sphere is your product limited to? Distribution Range Stability Constrained Potential 5 BIOLIFE SOLUTIONS, INC. 2014

6 Best Practices Perspective Moving Biopreservation Upstream Conventional Practice Manufactured Cell/Tissue Product Collection Transport Processing Storage Transport Application Source Material Preservation only considered for finished product Address yield issues AFTER negative system impact Recommended Best Practice Manufactured Cell/Tissue Product Biopreservation Collection Transport Processing Storage Transport Application Source Material Relevant Biopreservation Continuum Biopreservation considered from source material to delivered product Don t wait until late clinical or commercial stages to optimize! 6 BIOLIFE SOLUTIONS, INC. 2014

7 Cellular Response to Biopreservation Cellular responses to hypothermia and cryopreservation what happens? Metabolic activity decreases Ionic and osmotic balance is disrupted reduced membrane pump activity Free radicals accumulate Extracellular ice formation Successfully cryopreserved cells are glassy solids encased in ice Molecular stress responses are initiated Initiation of apoptotic cell death signaling pathways Secondary necrotic injury Intracellular ice formation Mechanical breakdown Membrane rupture/primary necrotic death Multiple points for preservation injury (hypothermia, thawing, ice damage) Mazur s Two-Factor Hypothesis of Freezing Injury ice damage and solute toxicity Mathew, Baust et al Hypothermic continuum as point of non-frozen cell/molecular stress Cellular priorities are survival, recovery, then functional performance 7 BIOLIFE SOLUTIONS, INC. 2014

8 Stability Stresses Occur at Multiple Levels Genomic Mitochondrial Proteomic Heat Shock Proteins Thermal Cycling (Transient Warming Events) Unfolded Proteins Enzymatic Caspases, Calpains, Liposomal Ionic Dysregulation Etc., etc.. 8 BIOLIFE SOLUTIONS, INC. 2014

9 Delayed Onset Cell Death 0 Hour 8 Hour 24 Hour Green = Apoptotic Cells Red = Necrotic Cells Blue = Live Cells Modified from Baust et al., 2005 Understand the difference between Perceived Viability and True Viability Total cell number Population selection at work are you okay with that?

Incontinence UTD* Cancer Wound healing Joint Repair CLI Cancer * UNABLE TO DISCLOSE 13 BIOLIFE SOLUTIONS, INC. 2014

14 Food for Thought Can we completely avoid DMSO in cell freezing so we can go straight from stored cells to infusion in patients? Yes, but No/Maybe: DMSO is still most effective clinical cryoprotectant. Alternatives may not be functionally effective and/or clinically appropriate (equivalent or improved Quality/Regulatory footprint). Why avoid DMSO, specifically? Myths vs. Facts. Many of our clinical partners thaw and infuse/inject. 14 BIOLIFE SOLUTIONS, INC. 2014
