Novel Epstein-Barr Virus Vaccines mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Description of Technology: EpsteinBarr Virus (EBV) is the causative agent of infectious mononucleosis and is associated with certain types of cancers, such as Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Burkitt’s lymphoma, gastric carcinoma, and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. There are currently no vaccines against EBV on the market and there is only supportive treatment available for EBV infection. The subject technologies are novel vaccine candidates against EBV that employ fusion proteins consisting of immunogenic portions of the EBV envelope glycoproteins (i.e. gp350, gH/ gL, etc.) that are found on the surface of the virus fused with a self-assembling protein such as ferritin. The fusion proteins multimerize and the resulting nanoparticles serve as the antigens in the vaccine. In mice, these vaccine candidates were able to elicit neutralizing antibodies that were significantly higher than vaccination with only soluble forms of the EBV envelope glycoproteins lacking the selfassembly domains. In some cases, the fusion protein vaccine candidates were able to elicit neutralizing antibodies while vaccination with the corresponding soluble versions elicited primarily non-neutralizing antibodies. These neutralizing antibody titers in immunized mice were substantially higher than those seen in humans naturally infected with EBV. Potential Commercial Applications: Vaccines against EBV. Competitive Advantages: The subject technologies are novel vaccine candidates against EBV that were able to elicit significantly higher levels of neutralizing antibodies than vaccines based solely on soluble forms of the EBV envelope glycoproteins lacking self-assembly domains.

Chang, Ph.D.; 301–435–5018; changke@ mail.nih.gov. Lentiviral Vectors To Modulate p53 Function in Human Stem Cells Description of Technology: The tumor suppressor protein p53 regulates the self-renewal and pluripotency of normal and cancer stems cells, as well as the efficiency of reprogramming normal cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC). Natural human p53 isoforms delta133p53 and p53beta are the physiological inhibitor and enhancer, respectively. Researchers at the National Cancer Institute, NIH, have discovered that human embryonic stem cells (hESC) express delta133p53 protein much more abundantly than normal human fibroblasts or cancer cell lines. Available for licensing are lentiviral vectors for constitutive over-expression of the p53 isoforms delta133p53 and p53beta, inducible over-expression of delta133p53, and inducible shRNA knock-down of delta133p53. Potential Commercial Applications • Stem cell-based regenerative medicine for the treatment of age-related degenerative diseases. • Targeting of cancer stem cells for treatment of cancer. • Development of compounds that mimic the effects of the p53 isoforms on hESC and iPSC. • Development of compounds that act in p53 isoform-dependent manners to regulate self-renewing vs. asymmetric cell divisions in cancer stem cells. Competitive Advantages • Enhanced expression of delta133p53 for efficient hESC selfrenewal and pluripotency without genome instability. • Enhanced expression of delta133p53 for efficient reprogramming to iPSC without genome instability. • Enhanced expression of p53beta and/or knockdown of delta133p53 for efficient induction of hESC/iPSC differentiation without unwanted cell death.
