ACTION: Notice. 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 35 U.S.C. 207 to achieve expeditious commercialization of results of PO 00000 Frm 00041 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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. Human Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) Cell Lines Derived From Surgically Removed Tumors Description of Technology: Scientists at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have developed three cell lines obtained from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients. The cell lines, designated 1581 RCC, 1764 RCC, and 2194 RCC, were derived from human tumor samples surgically resected from patients in the inventors’ clinic. Each cell line is human leukocyte antigen-A2 (HLA–A2) negative and expresses a variety of known tumor antigens. The 1764 RCC cell line is known to express the HLA– A3 antigen and high levels of nonmutated fibroblast growth factor 5 (FGF–5). These cell lines can be widely used in molecular biology for various assays and to screen for potential therapeutics with activity against RCC. The RCC cell lines can also serve as negative control samples for HLA–A2 expression. Applications: • Research tools for examining the common and diverse biological and pathological features of RCC from different patients in vitro. • Research tools for testing the activity of potential anti-cancer drugs against RCC. • Source for mRNA and protein antigens expressed in kidney cancer. • Negative control cell lines for HLA– A2 expression in molecular biology. • Possible starting material for developing a cancer vaccine against RCC. Advantages: • Cell lines are derived directly from RCC patient samples: These cell lines are anticipated to retain many features of primary RCC samples. Studies performed using these cell lines may have a direct correlation to the initiation, progression, treatment, and prevention of RCC in humans. E:\FR\FM\08DEN1.SGM 08DEN1
