For further information regarding the amendment, please refer to the Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by Cue Biopharma with the SEC on November 19, 2020.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Immuno-STAT<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>Immuno-STAT\u2122 biologics are being designed for targeted modulation of disease-associated T cells in the areas of immuno-oncology and autoimmune disease. Each of our biologic drug candidates is designed using our proprietary scaffold comprising: 1) a peptide-MHC complex (pMHC) to provide selectivity through interaction with the T cell receptor (TCR), and 2) a unique co-stimulatory signaling molecule to modulate the activity of the target T cells.<\/p>\n<p>The simultaneous engagement of co-regulatory molecules and pMHC binding mimics the signals delivered by antigen presenting cells (APCs) to T cells during a natural immune response. This design enables Immuno-STAT biologics to engage with the T cell population of interest, resulting in highly targeted T cell modulation. Because our drugs are delivered directly in the patient\u2019s body (in vivo), they are fundamentally different from other T cell therapeutic approaches that require the patients\u2019 T cells to be extracted, modified outside the body (ex vivo), and reinfused.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About\u00a0Cue Biopharma<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>Cue Biopharma, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, is engineering a novel class of injectable biologics to selectively engage and modulate targeted T cells within the patient\u2019s body to transform the treatment of cancer, infectious diseases and autoimmune diseases. The company\u2019s proprietary platform, Immuno-STAT\u2122 <em>(Selective Targeting and Alteration of T cells)<\/em> is designed to harness the body\u2019s intrinsic immune system without the need for ex vivo manipulation.<\/p>\n<p>Headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, we are led by an experienced management team and independent Board of Directors with deep expertise in the design and clinical development of protein biologics, immunology and immuno-oncology.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=QDJ888NWCXmZPr5ORopjTcetGhptz8Z12MMWFeyKY69ubFOURfgg3sHIARii2N9bsT3nIf90hLqc2p5-lCVXREDVw5QY9qbo_SPrGAzkIBI=\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.cuebiopharma.com<\/a>\u00a0and follow us on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=RV-WyLon8TF9KT8t5bgOQ66g6tA890chOtiowUoIm7PULEPjHvtrsJtO27sSZtrRYmJo7KGPWw4ZLXU2T8J9F9R2XxvVSAw-rbbDNWBpzL95tL2BzhMD9CvAWW5ceyIJ\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/CueBiopharma<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are intended to be covered by the safe harbor created by those sections.
