128–1996/1–US–01); to Apogenix
Biotechnology AG, having a place of
business in Heidelberg, Germany. The
patent rights in these inventions have
been assigned to the United States of
America.
The prospective exclusive license
territory will be worldwide and the field
of use may be limited to therapeutics for
the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis.
DATES: Only written comments and/or
license applications which are received
by the National Institutes of Health on
or before March 28, 2005, will be
considered.
Requests for copies of the
patent and/or patent applications,
inquiries, comments and other materials
relating to the contemplated exclusive
license should be directed to: Mojdeh
Bahar, J.D., Technology Licensing
Specialist, Office of Technology
Transfer, National Institutes of Health,
6011 Executive Boulevard, Suite 325,
Rockville, MD 20852–3804; Telephone:
(301) 435–2950; Facsimile: (301) 402–
0220; E-mail: baharm@od.nih.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
technology claimed in the
aforementioned patents is a method for
the treatment or prevention of
autoimmune diseases, allergic or atopic
disorders, and graft rejections. The
instant method comprises inducing the
death by apoptosis of a subpopulation of
T lymphocytes that is capable of causing
such diseases, while leaving the
majority of other T lymphocytes
unaffected. Cell death is achieved by
cycles comprising challenging via
immunization these T cells with
antigenic substance at short time
intervals, or by immunization followed
by administering interleukin-2 (IL–2)
when these T cells are expressing high
levels of IL–2 receptor so as to cause
these T cells to undergo apoptosis upon
re-immunization with the antigenic
peptide or protein.
The technologies in the
aforementioned patent applications are
directed to compositions and methods
for clinical assessment, diagnosis and
treatment of Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
The compositions are molecules related
to the human proteolipid protein (PLP),
and the 21.5 kDA fetal isoform of
human myelin basic protein (MBP), and
include nucleic acids and polypeptides.
The nucleic acids are useful in the
efficient production of modified PLP
polypeptides and modified and
unmodified MBP polypeptides and the
polypeptides are useful for assaying T
cells for responsiveness to MBP and PLP
epitopes. They are further useful as
therapeutic agents that act by inducing

T cell responses, including apoptosis, as
a means of treating MS.
The prospective exclusive license will
be royalty-bearing and will comply with
the terms and conditions of 35 U.S.C.
209 and 37 CFR 404.7. The prospective
exclusive license may be granted unless
within sixty (60) days from the date of
this published notice, the NIH receives
written evidence and argument that
establish that the grant of the license
would not be consistent with the
requirements of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37
CFR 404.7.
Applications for a license in the field
of use filed in response to this notice
will be treated as objections to the grant
of the contemplated exclusive license.
Comments and objections submitted to
this notice will not be made available
for public inspection and, to the extent
permitted by law, will not be released
under the Freedom of Information Act,
5 U.S.C. 552.
