Intellectual Property • U.S. Patent 9,481,866—issued November 1, 2016, entitled ‘‘Methods of Producing T Cell Populations Enriched for Stable Regulatory TCells’’ [HHS Reference No. E–279– 2011/0–US–02] • U.S. Divisional Application No.15/ 284,840—filed October 4, 2016, entitled ‘‘Methods of Producing T Cell Populations Enriched for Stable Regulatory T-Cells’. [HHS Reference No. E–279–2011/0–US–03] The patent rights in these inventions have been assigned to the government of the United States of America. The prospective exclusive license territory will be the United States and the field of use will be limited to: ‘‘Human cell-based therapeutics for the treatment of Hemophilia A in patients that have inhibitory Factor VIII antibodies.’’ The technology is directed to a method for producing or growing cell populations that are enriched for stable, highly suppressive regulatory T cells (Tregs). Tregs are critical in regulating immune system processes that maintain tolerance to self-antigens and prevent immune mediated diseases. The method takes a population of cells comprising stable, regulatory T cells and enriched for specific CD markers, cultures these cells in the presence of interleukin-2, an anti-CD3 antibody, an anti-CD28 antibody, and oligodeoxynucleotides of specified length having a phosphorothioate backbone, and yields the expansion of the initial population of regulatory T-cells. The expanded Tregs may then be used for the treatment of immune-mediated diseases. This notice is made in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR part 404.
