Download as PDF TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 70 / Thursday, April 11, 2013 / Notices experiments that more closely simulate the biological development of tumors in organs rather than at the surface of the skin. Additionally, since twelve different vectors with different gene promoters were developed, they can be tested in individual tumor models to find the best vector for visualizing that particular tumor cell line. The vectors are able to sustain long-term expression of both visualization markers, depending on the cell type and promoter in each vector. Potential Commercial Applications: • The vectors will be extremely useful for experiments in which both in vivo and in vitro analysis is desired. • The vectors can also be used for screening cancer cell lines and in tumor models for reporter gene activity. • The vectors can be useful in drug development. Competitive Advantages: • The bioluminescent marker allows for effective visualization of deep (nonsurface) tumors in mice. • The fluorescence label permits efficient sorting of tumor cells from normal (non-labeled) cells after tumors are excised from the mice. • The vectors allow in vivo experiments that more closely simulate the biological development of tumors in organs rather than at surface of skin. • The vectors sustain long-term expression. Development Stage: • Early-stage • Pre-clinical • In vitro data available • In vivo data available (animal) Inventors: Dominic Esposito, Chi-Ping Day, Glenn Y.

Epigenetic Factors Associated with the Development of Age-related Macular Degeneration Description of Technology: Recent studies have demonstrated genetic VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:37 Apr 10, 2013 Jkt 229001 21615 associations between Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and specific genes. In the case of identical twins in which only one twin develops AMD, a direct genetic cause seems unlikely. NIH researchers explored the epigenetic mechanisms that control the pathogenesis of AMD. A DNA methylation study identified sites on selected gene promoters that can potentially serve as markers to distinguish patients likely to develop AMD from those less likely to develop the disease. The strongest association was found in the IL17RC gene and later studies confirmed this association, first in siblings that were discordant for AMD and then in AMD patients as compared with age-matched controls. Potential Commercial Applications: Diagnosis of Age-related Macular Degeneration. Competitive Advantages: This technology is potentially a more sensitive means of diagnosing patients with AMD. Development Stage: In vitro data available. Inventors: Lai Wei, Robert Nussenblatt, Baoying Liu, Chi-Chao Chan (NEI). Publication: Wei L, et al.
