Further, the invention rat has a longer life span so that studies of longer duration or studies involving serial sampling can be conducted. The invention rat can be used to evaluate potential treatments for AD and to further investigate AD physiology. Potential Commercial Applications: • In vivo validation of AD therapeutics. • Development and validation of imaging methods to diagnose AD. • Detailed investigation of AD pathology and physiology. Competitive Advantages: • Rat model in contrast to available mice models. • Rat model based on over-expression of genes responsible for early onset AD. Development Stage: • Prototype. • In vivo data available (animal). Inventors: Robert M. Cohen, et al. (NIMH). Publication: Borchelt DR, et al.

Prognostic Biomarkers for Patients With Early Stage Lung Cancer Description of Technology: Investigators at the National Cancer Institute have discovered a set of biomarkers that can identify patients with early stage lung cancer who have a high risk of relapse. Available for licensing are prognostic assays based on these biomarkers, which can enable clinicians to select more effective therapy and post-operative follow-up strategies. Surgery is the standard care for patients with stage I lung cancer. Despite successful surgery, 20–30% of patients will relapse. Chemotherapy can improve patient survival; however, it is controversial if early stage cancer patients should be treated with chemotherapy since, for many cases, it will harm quality of life with little therapeutic benefit. Utilizing patient samples, the investigators conducted a retrospective study in eight patient cohorts that validated the gene classifier set. These prognostic methods can guide physicians to select appropriate treatment and follow-up while sparing other patients of unnecessary treatment and negative side-effects of chemotherapy. VerDate Mar<15>2010 20:26 Jun 25, 2013 Jkt 229001 38353 Potential Commercial Applications: • Method to determine the prognosis of patients with lung cancer. • Method to select more effective treatment and post-operative follow-up for patients with early stage lung cancer. Competitive Advantages: Assays were validated in human tissue samples and eight different patient cohorts. Development Stage: • Early-stage. • In vivo data available (human).

Collaborative Research Opportunity: The National Cancer Institute, Laboratory of Human Carcinogenesis, is seeking statements of capability or interest from parties interested in collaborative research to further develop, evaluate or commercialize Retroviral and Lentiviral Vectors. For collaboration opportunities, please contact John D. Hewes, Ph.D. at hewesj@mail.nih.gov. Retroviral and Lentiviral Vectors To Increase Efficiency of Inducible Pluripotent Stem Cell (iPSC) Production Description of Technology: Researchers at the National Cancer Institute have discovered that modulating a specific p53 isoform increases the number of inducible pluripotent stem cells that can be obtained from cells that are being reprogrammed to obtain pluripotent cells. It is known that the activity of p53 regulates the self-renewal and pluripotency of normal and cancer stem cells, and also affects re-programming efficiency of iPS cells. This p53 isoformbased technology provides a more natural process of increasing iPS cell production than previous methods of decreasing p53. Potential Commercial Applications: Dated: June 20, 2013.
