Lentivirus Immortalizing Vertebrate Macrophages, (LIVeMac) HJF 512-18
Researchers at Uniformed Services University (USU) and the Henry M. Jackson Foundation (HJF) have developed a replication-deficient, infection competent viral vector for immortalizing mammalian macrophages. On further development, this lentiviral vector could infect all mammalian cells and can immortalize macrophages from diverse species.

Novel, Cross-Sarbecovirus Neutralizing and Binding Monoclonal Antibodies (mAbs) (HJF 660-23)
The repeat emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VoC) with decreased susceptibility to vaccine elicited protection highlights the need to develop vaccine candidates with broad protection. Current invention identified six neutralizing antibodies with broad sarbecovirus cross-reactivity. This finding has applications towards developing next-generation...

Immunogens and Vaccine Compositions Against Flavivirus - (HJF 624-22)
HJF researchers have developed a novel recombinant flavivirus immunogen that can induce immunogenicity against multiple flaviviruses, including ZIKV (Zika) and DENV (dengue), without life-threatening antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) responses. Mice immunized with this recombinant immunogen were protected from lethal ZIKV challenge.

SERINC5 Monoclonal Antibodies - (HJF 525-18)
Serine incorporator 5 (SERINC5), is a host cell protein that has been shown to potently reduce HIV-1 infectivity. However, studies related to SERINC5 protein have been challenging due the dearth of high-quality SERINC5-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs).
Researchers at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) and HJF have developed novel,...

Fully Human Skin Substitute with True Human Hair Follicle Neogenesis - (HJF 220-09)
Human skin substitutes available today have varied compositions but generally comprise a nonliving collagen matrix and different combinations of keratinocytes and fibroblasts. However, currently available skin substitutes cannot perform all the functions of normal skin. For example, hair follicle (HF) neogenesis is not observed using any currently available...
