MacroGenics, Inc.

, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and identifying innovative monoclonal antibody-based therapeutics for the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases, today announced that it will present pre-clinical data on its novel DART® candidate for the treatment of autoimmune disorders, MGD010, at IMMUNOLOGY 2014, the American Association of Immunologists Annual Meeting, in Pittsburgh, PA. The poster, titled "Development of human B-lymphocyte targeted bi-specific DART® molecules for the treatment of autoimmune disorders," will be presented Monday, May 5, 2014, from 2:30-3:45 pm ET in Hall A, poster THER5P.830, abstract number 200.9. Background on DART Platform MacroGenics' Dual-Affinity Re-Targeting (DART®) platform enables the targeting of multiple antigens or cells by using a single molecule with an antibody-like structure. The Company has created over 100 DART-based molecules, or DARTs, which have been configured for the potential treatment of cancer, autoimmune disorders and infectious disease. These DARTs can be tailored for either short or prolonged pharmacokinetics and have demonstrated good stability and attractive manufacturability. The Company has completed in vitro and in vivo proof of concept pre-clinical studies with multiple candidates and expects to advance its first two DARTs into clinical development in 2014.
