SUMMARY: The inventions listed below
are owned by an agency of the U.S.
Government and are available for
licensing in the U.S. in accordance with

commercialization of results of
federally-funded research and
development. Foreign patent
applications are filed on selected
inventions to extend market coverage
for companies and may also be available
for licensing.
ADDRESSES: Licensing information and
copies of the U.S. patent applications
listed below may be obtained by writing
to the indicated licensing contact at the
Office of Technology Transfer, National
Institutes of Health, 6011 Executive
Boulevard, Suite 325, Rockville,
Maryland 20852–3804; telephone: 301/
496–7057; fax: 301/402–0220. A signed
Confidential Disclosure Agreement will
be required to receive copies of the
patent applications.
Cell Based Immunotherapy
Description of Technology: The
invention hereby offered for licensing is
in the field of Immunotherapy and more
specifically in therapy of autoimmune
diseases such as Type I diabetes,
multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis
and systemic lupus erythematosis and
immune mediated allergies such as
asthma as well as in transplantationrelated disorders, such as graft
acceptance and graft-versus-host-disease
(GVHD).
While the role of FOXP3+ regulatory
T cells (Tregs) in the maintenance of
self-tolerance and immune homeostasis
has been established and thus their use
in adoptive immunotherapy has been
contemplated, there is still no good way
to purify and expand these cells in an
efficient and reproducible manner ex
vivo for use in human therapy. The
subject invention provides a method
that allows such purification for use in
expansion cultures to generate sufficient
numbers of cells and purity for cellbased immunotherapy. The method is
based on the finding that Tregs
selectively express Latency Associated
Peptide (LAP) and CD121b (IL–1
Receptor Type 2) and on the ability to
selectively separate these cells from
other immune cells that are potentially
hazardous, through the use of magnetic
particles which specifically bind to
either one of these two surface
molecules and selectively separate those
cells from the non-Tregs.
Applications:
Immunotherapy, primarily for
autoimmune diseases such as Type I
diabetes, hematologic disorders such as
aplastic anemia, transplantation-related
disorders, such as graft acceptance and
graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) and
allergic diseases such as asthma.
Facilitating detailed studies and
analysis of human Treg function in
health and disease.
