VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:46 Sep 23, 2024 Jkt 262001 PO 00000 Frm 00065 Fmt 4703 Description of Technology Current influenza vaccines mainly induce antibodies against the surface glycoprotein hemagglutinin (HA) that block viral attachment to its host receptors and viral membrane fusion to the host cell. The immunodominant head region of HA undergoes antigenic drift and antibodies directed to the head confer little cross-protections between strains or subtypes. Researchers at the Vaccine Research Center of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases have identified human monoclonal antibodies that each bind distinct epitopes on the less abundant yet critical viral surface glycoprotein neuraminidase (NA). These antibodies, isolated from convalescent individuals with confirmed influenza A H3N2 infection, inhibit viral propagation of a wide range of human H3N2, swineorigin variant H3N2, and H2N2 viruses and confer pre-exposure and postexposure protection from lethal H3N2 infection in mice. Cryo-electron microscopy revealed that two of these antibodies bind non-overlapping epitopes covering the underside of the NA head, thus defining a potential vaccine target. 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 BILLING CODE 4140–01–P DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES 77875 Sfmt 4703 • Prevention or treatment of influenza infection • Testing influenza antigens Competitive Advantages • Improved breadth of protection relative to influenza HA-targeting antibodies Development Stage: Preclinical. Inventors: Masaru Kanekiyo (NIAID), Sarah Andrews (NIAID), Julia Lederhofer (NIAID), Yaroslav Tsybovsky (Leidos Biomedical Research). E:\FR\FM\24SEN1.SGM 24SEN1
