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. 

Machine Learning and/or Neural Networks to Validate Stem Cells and Their Derivatives for Use in Cell Therapy, Drug Delivery, and Diagnostics

Many biological and clinical procedures require functional validation of a desired cell type. Current techniques to validate rely on various assays and methods, such as staining with dyes, antibodies, and nucleic acid probes, to assess stem cell health, death, proliferation, and functionality. These techniques potentially destroy stem cells and risk contaminating cells and cultures by exposing them to the environment; they are low-throughput and difficult to scale-up.

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.
