CDC Technology ID No. I– 008–08. Status: Pending. Priority Date(s): 61/042,987 4/7/2008. 61/016,065 12/21/2007. The planned co-exclusive license and exclusive license will be royalty-bearing and will comply with the terms and conditions of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7. Technology: The technology allows for the generation of precisely defined attenuated vaccine constructs that contain complete deletions of critical virulence factors of Rift Valley Fever (RVF) virus. These attenuated vaccines constructs still have the ability to induce robust protective immunity following the administration of a single vaccine dose in a rat model of lethal disease. The vaccines can protect immunized animals against virulent virus challenge. The vaccine candidates also allow for the differentiation of naturally infected and vaccinated animals—a feature that is critical in agricultural settings. This approach will allow for the rapid generation of effective, safe RVF vaccine candidates to control and prevent the spread of wildtype RVF virus in a variety of settings, including preventing the infection of humans or animals during endemic, epidemic or epizootic situations in affected countries, or for prophylactic use among humans in high risk occupational settings, or following intentional release of RVF virus during bioterrorism. DATES: Only written comments and/or applications for a license which are received by CDC on or before December 17, 2012 will be considered. ADDRESSES: Requests for a copy of these patent applications, inquiries, comments, and other materials relating to the planned license should be directed to Donald Prather, J.D., Ph.D., Technology Licensing and Marketing Specialist, Technology Transfer Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 4770 Buford Highway, Mailstop K–79, Atlanta, GA 30341, Telephone: (770) 488–8612; Facsimile: (770) 488–8615; Email: dmprather@cdc.gov.
