The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks licensees for a CRISPR/Cas9-engineered MC38 B2m knockout murine colon cancer cell line that models tumor resistance to PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint blockade caused by loss of MHC-I antigen presentation. This research tool provides an opportunity to study checkpoint-refractory tumors and evaluate alternative or combination immunotherapy strategies for cancers that evade conventional T-cell–mediated recognition.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for a Quantitative Particle Identification (QPID) digital autoradiography system with particle identification capabilities.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for a novel monoclonal antibody (mAb), RO4, that can be used to treat mesothelin (MSLN) expressing cancers.
Scientists at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have discovered a novel therapeutic, diagnostic and prognostic target for thrombosis: Soluble Tissue Factor (sTF). NCI has generated first-in-class antibodies and platform selectively neutralizing pathological coagulation while preserving normal hemostasis.
Scientists at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have developed a novel tightly regulated drug-responsive, membrane-bound IL-12 cytokine platform, that enhances anti-tumor efficacy in adoptive cell therapy (ACT) with engineered T-cells (CAR, TCR, TILs) while improving safety. The NCI seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees to advance this technology toward clinical translation.
The development of an effective HIV vaccine has been ongoing. HIV sequence diversity and immunodominance are major obstacles in the design of an effective vaccine. Researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) developed a novel vaccine strategy combining both DNA and mRNA vaccination to induce an effective immune response. This combination strategy could also be used to develop vaccines against cancer or other infectious diseases (ex. SARS-CoV-2).
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for a collection of T-cell receptors (TCRs) that specifically target the mutated KRAS antigen.
The NCI seeks research co-development partners or licensees for Nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) Mutation-Specific T Cell Receptors for Targeted Treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
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.
The NCI seeks research co-development partners or licensees for monoclonal antibodies that specifically target cancer-expressed EGFR.
