Enhanced Antigen Reactivity of Immune Cells Expressing a Mutant Non-Signaling CD3 Zeta Chain

Summary:

Researchers at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development are highly motivated in seeking licensing and/or collaboration partners to develop therapeutic cell populations arising out of these technologies.  An ideal partner would enter into both a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) and an exclusive license agreement towards commercialization of one or more therapies to treat various oncologies. 

Anti-Viral Polypeptide Griffithsin: Compounds, Compositions, and Methods of Use

Description of Technology:
