C8166-45 Cells

Summary:

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks licensees for a human T-cell line, C8166-45, transformed by HTLV-1. C8166-45, also known as C63/CRII-2, contains three transcriptionally active proviruses useful for testing biological activities involved in T-cell immortalization and growth.

T Cell Receptor Targeting HPV6 E2 and a Panel of Cos7 Cells Expressing Different HLA Class I Proteins for Use in Validation and Potency Studies

Summary:

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks licensees for this invention comprising (1) a novel T cell receptor (TCR) specific to the E2 protein of Human papillomavirus (HPV) type 6  in the context of the human leukocyte antigen, HLA-B55, and (2) a panel of Cos7 cells expressing different HLA proteins for validation of T cell responses in immunotherapies for low-risk HPV-related diseases such as recurrent respiratory papillomatosis and anogenital condyloma.

Oxynitidine Derivatives as Tyrosyl DNA Phosphodiesterase (TDP) Inhibitors and Radiosensitizers

Summary: 

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is actively seeking potential licensees and/or co-development research collaboration partners interested in further developing this family of oxynitidine derivatives as tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP1) inhibitors and radiosensitizers for the treatment of cancer. 

Method of Manufacturing Papilloma Infiltrating Lymphocyte (PIL) Cell Therapy Products as a Treatment for Patients with Chronic Viral Infection(s)

Summary:

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for development of papilloma-infiltrating lymphocytes (PIL) as treatment for patients with chronic human papillomavirus (HPV) 6 or 11 infections.

Strategies to Protect Mammalian Neural Tissue Against Cold and Potentially Other Metabolic Stresses and Physical Damages

Researchers at the National Eye Institute (NEI) have discovered an invention describing a composition and method(s) of using such composition for preserving viability of cells, tissues, or organs at a low temperature (around 4ºC). Current cold storage solutions or methods for cells, tissues, and organs are suboptimal due to irreversible damage to cold-sensitive tissue or organ transplants that need a longer term of storage for facilitating clinical practices.

Novel Human Immunogenic Epitopes of the Human Endogenous Retrovirus ERVMER34-1

Summary:

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for the clinical translation of novel peptide-based therapeutic cancer vaccines derived from ERVMER34-1, a human endogenous retrovirus (HERV) antigen, offering a unique opportunity to address a significant unmet need in the treatment of various carcinomas.
