Proposed Project: Data System for
Organ Procurement and
Transplantation Network (42 CFR Part
121, OMB No. 0915–0184): Extension
The operation of the Organ
Procurement and Transplantation
Network (OPTN) necessitates certain
recordkeeping and reporting
requirements in order to perform the
functions related to organ
transplantation under contract to HHS.
This is a request for an extension of the
current recordkeeping and reporting
requirements associated with the OPTN.
These data will be used by HRSA in
monitoring the contracts for the OPTN
and the Scientific Registry of Transplant
Recipients (SRTR) and in carrying out
other statutory responsibilities.
Information is needed to match donor
organs with recipients, to monitor
compliance of member organizations
with OPTN rules and requirements, to
ensure that all qualified entities are
accepted for membership in the OPTN,
and to ensure patient safety.

award to the school in the form of a
Federal Capital Contribution (FCC). The
award is used to establish a distinct
account for the NFLP loan fund at the
school or is deposited into an existing
NFLP fund. The school of nursing
makes loans from the NFLP fund to
eligible students enrolled full-time in a
master’s or doctoral nursing education
program that will prepare them to
become qualified nursing faculty.
Following graduation from the NFLP
lending school, loan recipients may
receive up to 85 percent NFLP loan
cancellation over a consecutive fouryear period in exchange for service as
full-time faculty at a school of nursing.
The NFLP lending school collects any
portion of the loan that is not cancelled.
The lending school deposits monies
from loan collection and repayment into
the NFLP loan fund to make additional
NFLP loans. The school of nursing must
keep records of all NFLP loan fund
transactions.
The NFLP Annual Operating Report is
used to collect information relating to
the NFLP loan fund operations and
financial activities for a specified
reporting period (July 1 through June 30
of the academic year). Participating
schools will complete and submit an
electronic copy of the AOR annually to

and (6) NFLP loan fund receipts,
disbursements and other related costs.
The NFLP loan fund balance is used
with other criteria to determine the
annual award to the school.
Once the AOR is completed by the
participating school, the AOR will be

Suppression of Allergic Asthma by
Ascaris Antigens
Description of Technology: Available
for licensing and commercial
development are compositions and
methods for suppressing allergic
reactions, as well as Th-1 and Th-2
associated immunological diseases, by
administering any of the two identified
Ascaris polypeptide antigens, or active
fragments or variants thereof, to the
affected subject.
Allergic asthma is characterized by
antigen-specific IgE production,
reversible airway hyper-reactivity and
eosinophilic infiltration of the airways.
There is a dramatic increase in the
prevalence of allergic disorders in
emerging and industrialized countries
and studies suggest that the hygienic
environment in those countries may not
provide allergy-protective mechanisms
associated with some forms of infection.
Recent studies have found that helminth
infection may suppress the development
of allergic disease. Helminth infections
currently affect over 2 billion people

worldwide, causing significant
morbidity. The most successful
geohelminths are members of the
Ascaris species, including A.
lumbricoides and A. suum, which are
known to infect 1.5 billion people. The
inventors studied the modulation of
allergic disease mediated by a chronic
A. suum infection in their murine model
of ragweed-induced allergic
conjunctivitis and allergic asthma, and
demonstrated that the infection prevents
allergic inflammation in sites distal
from larval migration. This protection
was due, in part, to the induction of
immunoregulatory cytokines such as IL–
10. In further studies, they
demonstrated that a cocktail of antigens
from the pseudocoelomic fluid (PCF) of
A. suum, administered during ragweed
sensitization, significantly reduced the
eosinophil migration into the
conjunctiva, pulmonary eosinophilic
inflammation, and total lung pathology
induced by the ragweed. PCF exposure
also reduced the secretion of the proallergic cytokines IL–5 and IL–13 in the
broncho-alveolar lavage fluid after
ragweed exposure. All findings suggest
PCF is capable of suppressing the
allergic response to a traditional
allergen and at multiple tissue sites.
In further studies, the inventors
determined that the protection
conferred by PCF to allergic
inflammation was through a specific
first antigenic protein isolated from
PCF, results that were confirmed by
using the recombinant form of the first
antigen.
