Preclinical Research at the 2016 AACR Annual Meeting</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 9.75pt 0">CALGARY, April 18, 2016 /CNW/ - Oncolytics Biotech<SUP>&reg;</SUP>
Inc. (&quot;<B>Oncolytics</B>&quot; or the &quot;<B>Company</B>&quot;) (TSX: ONC) (OTCQX: ONCYF) (FRA: ONY) today announced that
two poster presentations covering preclinical work in multiple myeloma and colorectal cancer are being made by the Company's research
collaborators at the 2016 American Association of Cancer Research annual meeting being held from April 16<SUP>th</SUP> to 20<SUP>th</SUP>,
2016 in New Orleans, LA.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 9.75pt 0">&quot;Both multiple myeloma and colorectal cancer are target
indications for later-stage clinical testing of REOLYSIN<SUP>&reg;</SUP>,&quot; said Dr. Brad Thompson, President and CEO of Oncolytics.
&quot;These important preclinical findings continue to advance our understanding of how REOLYSIN<SUP>&reg;</SUP> interacts with
the immune system and how immunomodulatory interventions could improve its cancer cell killing capabilities.&quot;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 9.75pt 0">The first abstract/poster is titled &quot;Successful oncolytic
virotherapy in a bortezomib resistant syngeneic mouse model of multiple myeloma: implications for translation significance,&quot;
and was authored by Thirukkuamaran, et al. Using the VK*MYC bortezomib resistant transplantable multiple myeloma mouse model, the
authors demonstrated that mice harboring bortezomib insensitive multiple myeloma tumors significantly responded to reovirus treatment.
These data are supportive of previous and ongoing preclinical and clinical work in this indication and the Company is currently
enrolling patients in a Phase 1b study of REOLYSIN<SUP>&reg;</SUP> in combination with bortezomib in patients with relapsed or
refractory multiple myeloma.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 9.75pt 0">The second abstract/poster is titled &quot;Toll like receptor
3 as an immunotherapeutic target for <I>Kras</I> mutated colorectal cancer,&quot; and was authored by Goel, et al. The authors
hypothesized that effective expression of toll like receptors 3 (&quot;TLR3&quot;) would dampen the infection potential of reovirus
through the mounting of an innate immune response. Using a xenograft model with HCT116 colorectal cancer cells, those with TLR3
downregulated cells showed improved control of tumor growth with reovirus treatment compared to those expressing TLR3 (p=0.04).
Down regulation of the host immune response improved virus mediated cell cytotoxicity and the findings could result in improved
and beneficial killing of cancer cells by reovirus.</P>
