A signed Confidential Disclosure Agreement will be required to receive copies of unpublished information related to the invention. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Technology description follows. Polyvalent Influenza Virus-Like Particles (VLPs) and Use as Vaccines Description of Technology Influenza virus is a major public health concern, causing up to 500,000 deaths annually. The current strategy of reformulating vaccines annually against dominant circulating strains leads to variable protective efficacy and is unlikely to protect against novel influenza viruses with pandemic potential. Thus, there is a great need for a vaccine that provides ‘‘universal’’ protection against influenza viruses. This technology relates to a broadly protective, universal influenza vaccine candidate composed of a mixture of virus-like particles (VLPs) expressing the hemagglutinin protein or the neuraminidase protein from influenza virus strains belonging to different virus subtypes. Vaccinating animals with a mixture of VLPs expressing four or more hemagglutinin subtypes provides broad and heterosubtypic protection against lethal challenge with influenza virus strains in both mice and ferrets. This vaccine technology has great potential to provide protection against both annual epidemic and pandemicpotential influenza viruses. This technology is available for licensing for commercial development in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR part 404. Potential Commercial Applications • Vaccines against influenza virus • Universal influenza virus vaccine Competitive Advantages • Broad/universal protection against both seasonal and pandemic-potential influenza viruses • Does not require yearly reformulation as is necessary with current commercially available influenza vaccines Development Stage • In vivo data assessment (animal) E:\FR\FM\09APN1.SGM 09APN1
