A considerable effort has been devoted to identifying and targeting specific extracellular cancer markers using antibody based therapies. However, diminished access to new cancer cell surface markers has limited the development of corresponding antibodies. NCI Technology Transfer Center is seeking to license cancer immunotherapy using virus-like particles.

In collaboration with the National Cancer Institute (NCI), researchers at The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute on Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) have discovered monoclonal antibodies that bind to matrilin-3, a protein specifically expressed in cartilage tissue, that could be used for treating or inhibiting growth plate disorders, such as a skeletal dysplasia or short stature. The monoclonal antibodies can also be used to target therapeutic agents, such as those for anti-arthritis, to cartilage tissue. NICHD seeks statements of capability or interest from parties interested in collaborative research to co-develop, evaluate, and/or commercialize treatment of skeletal disorders using targeting antibodies.

Researchers at the National Cancer Institute’s Laboratory of Molecular Biology (NCI LMB) have developed and isolated several single domain monoclonal human antibodies against GPC2. NCI seeks parties interested in licensing or co-developing GPC2 antibodies and/or conjugates.

The National Cancer Institute seeks licensees for a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) that recognizes human tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 8 (TNFRSF8, also known as CD30).

NCI seeks partners to commercialize Griffithsin and Griffithsin tandemers as therapeutics for HIV infections that are resistant to native GRFT, specifically, additional studies on stability, toxicity, immunogenicity, and large-scale production.

The National Cancer Institute’s Chemical Biology Laboratory seeks partners interested in collaborative research to co-develop nitric oxide (NO) based prodrugs for the treatment of lung cancer.

The National Cancer Institute's Surgery Branch seeks partners interested in licensing or co-developing chimeric antigen receptors targeting CD70 antigen for the treatment of cancer.

RNA interference (RNAi) is a naturally occurring cellular post-transcriptional gene regulation process that utilizes small double-stranded RNAs to trigger and guide gene silencing. By introducing synthetic RNA duplexes called small-interfering RNAs (siRNAs), we can harness the RNAi machinery for therapeutic gene control and the treatment of various diseases. The National Cancer Institute seeks partners to license or co-develop RNA, RNA-DNA, and DNA-RNA hybrid nanoparticles consisting of a DNA or RNA core with attached RNA or DNA hybrid duplexes.

The Section on Translational Neuroscience of NICHD seeks parties interested in licensing and/or collaborative research to co-develop this therapeutic management of Menkes Disease and related copper transport disorders.
