Interferon Alpha Hybrids
Description of Technology: Available
for licensing are hybrid interferon alpha
(INF-a) polypeptides constructed by
combinations of INFa21b and INFa2c,
and mutants of these hybrids. These
hybrid constructs have resulted in novel
IFNs that either combine different
biological properties from the parent
proteins or have significantly different
biological activity from both the parents
in anti-proliferative, anti-viral, or
competitive binding properties. For
instance, the hybrid designated HY–3
has higher anti-proliferative activity in
Daudi, WISH, and primary human
lymphocyte cells exhibiting
approximately 6 times higher antiproliferative activity than either parent
IFN. These IFN hybrids provide a
powerful tool for studying the structurefunction relationship of these
molecules. The engineered IFN-a
proteins may have important new
therapeutic applications and may
provide greater insights into
understanding of the clinical activities
of existing IFN-as.
Also available for licensing are hybrid
INF-a nucleic acids encoding the hybrid
polypeptides as well as cells, vectors,
pharmaceutical compositions with these
nucleic acid sequences.
Applications:
Anti-viral and cancer therapeutics.

Reduction Act of 1995. The submission
describes the nature of the information
collection, the categories of
respondents, the estimated burden (i.e.,
the time, effort and resources used by
respondents to respond) and cost, and
includes the actual data collection
instruments FEMA will use. This
collection was modified during the 60day comment period to change the
annual burden hours from ten to twelve.
This change will capture the increase in
burden hour and cost to respondents.
