National Cancer Institute; Notice of Closed Meeting, 61460 [05-21124]

Download as PDF 61460 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 204 / Monday, October 24, 2005 / Notices comprise adeno-associated virus serotype 5 (AAV5). AAV5 is a singlestranded DNA virus of either plus or minus polarity which, like other AAV serotypes (e.g., AAV4, AAV2) requires a helper virus for replication. AAV type 2 has the interesting and potentially useful ability to integrate into human chromosome 19 q 13.3-q ter. This activity is dependent on the nonstructural, Rep, proteins of AAV2. The Rep proteins of AAV types 2 and 5 are dissimilar and are not able to substitute in DNA replication of the heterologous serotype. AAV5 offers several advantages which make it attractive for use in gene therapy: 1. Increased production (10–50 fold greater than AAV2); 2. distinct integration locus when compared to AAV2; 3. Rep protein and ITR regions do not complement other AAV serotypes; and 4. appears to utilize different cell surface attachment molecules than those of AAV type 2. In addition to licensing, the technology may be available for further development through collaborative research opportunities with the inventors. The Use of Nitroxides in the Prophylactic and Therapeutic Treatment of Cancer Due to Genetic Defects James Mitchell, Angelo Russo, Anne Deluca and Murali Cherukuri (NCI). U.S. Patent Application No. 09/424,519 filed 03 Mar 2000, claiming priority to 27 May 1997 (HHS Reference No. E– 167–1997/0–US–07). Licensing Contact: George Pipia; 301/ 435–5560; pipiag@mail.nih.gov. The invention is a method for preventing or treating cancer, especially cancers associated with defects in the p53 gene. This gene is generally considered to be a tumor-suppressor gene, and in a large percentage of malignancies including pancreatic, colon, lung, and breast, the gene is found to be inactive in the cancer. It is believed that many individuals have genetic defects in p53 predisposing them to cancer. The invention involves the use of certain nitroxides as agents to slow the appearance or progression of tumors associated with p53 knockout. Thus, these compounds could serve as preventative agents for people predisposed to cancer, or as therapeutic agents for certain cancers. As nitroxides have already been identified as antioxidants, such agents could become part of a cancer prevention and antiaging regimen. A new method of use for these compounds now include their use in imaging, which correlates functional VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:19 Oct 21, 2005 Jkt 208001 information about the tumor with magnetic resonance imaging data.
