AnaptysBio Sets Estimated IPO Pricing Range

San Diego-based AnaptysBio, which develops antibodies for treating inflammation, has set its estimated IPO pricing range, saying on Tuesday that it expects to price its IPO at between $14.00 and $16.00 per share. The company is selling 4,000,000 shares of its common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market as ANAB. AnaptysBio is backed by Frazier Healthcare, Novo A/S, Avalon Ventures, Alloy Ventures, Biotechnology Value Fund, HBM Healthcare Investments, and others.
