Murine Monoclonal Antibodies
Effective To Treat Respiratory
Syncytial Virus
Center for Scientific Review; Notice of
Closed Meetings
National Institutes of Health
Description of Technology: Available
for licensing through a Biological
Materials License Agreement are the
murine MAbs described in Beeler et al.,
‘‘Neutralization epitopes of the F
glycoprotein of respiratory syncytial
virus: effect of mutation upon fusion
function,’’ J Virol. 1989 Jul;63(7):2941–
2950. The MAbs that are available for
licensing are the following: 1129, 1153,
1142, 1200, 1214, 1237, 1112, 1269, and
1243. One of these MAbs, 1129, is the
basis for a humanized murine MAb (see
U.S. Patent 5,824,307 to humanized
1129 owned by MedImmune, Inc.),
recently approved for marketing in the
United States. MAbs in the panel
reported by Beeler et al. have been
shown to be effective therapeutically
when administered into the lungs of
cotton rats by small-particle aerosol.
Among these MAbs several exhibited a
high affinity (approximately 109M–1) for
the RSV F glycoprotein and are directed
at epitopes encompassing amino acid
262, 272, 275, 276 or 389. These
epitopes are separate, nonoverlapping
and distinct from the epitope recognized
by the human Fab of U.S. Patent
5,762,905 owned by The Scripps
Research Institute.
Applications: Research and drug
development for treatment of respiratory
syncytial virus.
Inventors: Robert M. Chanock, Brian
R. Murphy, Judith A. Beeler, and
Kathleen L. van Wyke Coelingh (NIAID).
Patent Status: HHS Reference No. B–
056–1994/1—Research Tool.
Licensing Status: Available for nonexclusive licensing under a Biological
Materials License Agreement.

SUMMARY: The National Center for
Complementary and Alternative
Medicine (NCCAM) will convene a
workshop on Meditation for Health
Purposes. The goals of the workshop are
to assess current knowledge and
identify opportunities for future
research on the mechanisms and
efficacy of meditation practices for a
variety of health concerns. This
workshop will bring together experts in
the fields of meditation practices,
research design and methodology,
physiological mechanisms, and affective
and cognitive processes and outcomes.
The meeting will draw on this expertise
to elucidate relevant aspects that would
best move the field of meditation
research forward. The meeting will
utilize a combination of short
presentations, discussions, and breakout
groups.
The Workshop will take place on July
8–9, 2008 in Bethesda, Maryland.
Seating will be limited, and researchers
in the relevant scientific fields are
particularly encouraged to attend.
Attendees should register by July 1,
2008 by visiting https://nccam.nih.gov/
news/upcomingmeetings/.
Background: The National Center for
Complementary and Alternative
Medicine (NCCAM) was established in
1999 with the mission of exploring
complementary and alternative healing
practices in the context of rigorous
science, training CAM researchers, and
disseminating authoritative information
to the public and professionals. NCCAM
funds research grants that explore the
science of CAM. For more information,
see https://nccam.nih.gov/research/
nccamfunds.htm.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To
