DVAX -

Dynavax Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq:DVAX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced six abstracts presenting data at the American Thoracic Society (ATS) medical conference in San Diego, California May 15 - 20, 2009. Under a worldwide collaboration, Dynavax and its pharmaceutical partner AstraZeneca are discovering and developing novel therapies which represent a new strategy for the treatment of respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Dynavax's six abstracts can be viewed at http://www.thoracic.org/ and are as follows:

About the AstraZeneca Collaboration

In September 2006, Dynavax and AstraZeneca entered into a potential $136 million research and license agreement to discover, develop, and commercialize novel therapies for the treatment of asthma and COPD. Dynavax's Toll-like Receptor 9 (TLR9) agonist products are based on its proprietary Immunostimulatory sequences (ISS), which are short DNA sequences that specifically target TLR9 to stimulate the innate immune response.
