N6, A Novel, Broad, Highly Potent HIVSpecific Antibody DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Description of Technology The N6 antibody has evolved a unique mode of binding that depends less on a variable area of the HIV envelope known as the V5 region and focuses more on conserved regions, which change relatively little among HIV strains. This allows N6 to tolerate changes in the HIV envelope, including the attachment of sugars in the V5 region, a major mechanism by which HIV develops resistance to other VRC01class antibodies. N6 was shown in preclinical studies to neutralize approximately 98 percent of HIV isolates tested. The studies also demonstrate that N6 neutralizes approximately 80 percent of HIV isolates which were resistant to other antibodies of the same class, and does so very potently. Its breadth and potency makes N6 a highly desirable candidate for development in therapeutic or prophylactic strategies.

Government and is available for licensing to achieve expeditious 
commercialization of results of 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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Licensing information and copies of 
the patent applications listed below may be obtained by communicating 
with the indicated licensing contact at the Technology Transfer and 
Intellectual Property Office, National Institute of Allergy and 
Infectious Diseases, 5601 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20852; tel. 301-
496-2644. A signed Confidential Disclosure Agreement will be required 
to receive copies of unpublished patent applications.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Technology description follows.

N6, A Novel, Broad, Highly Potent HIV-Specific Antibody

Description of Technology

    The N6 antibody has evolved a unique mode of binding that depends 
less on a variable area of the HIV envelope known as the V5 region and 
focuses more on conserved regions, which change relatively little among 
HIV strains. This allows N6 to tolerate changes in the HIV envelope, 
including the attachment of sugars in the V5 region, a major mechanism 
by which HIV develops resistance to other VRC01-class antibodies. N6 
was shown in pre-clinical studies to neutralize approximately 98 
percent of HIV isolates tested. The studies also demonstrate that N6 
neutralizes approximately 80 percent of HIV isolates which were 
resistant to other antibodies of the same class, and does so very 
potently. Its breadth and potency makes N6 a highly desirable candidate 
for development in therapeutic or prophylactic strategies.
    This technology is available for licensing for commercial 
development in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR part 404, as 
well as for further development and evaluation under a research 
collaboration.
