neutralizing diverse group 1 and group 

2 influenza A viruses. Specifically, the 

families of antibodies identified 

precisely target parts of the 

hemagglutinin (HA) protein, present on 

the surface of the influenza virus, that 

are least variable from season to season 

(Joyce, M.G., et al. Cell (2016) 166 (3): 

609–623). Therefore, it is hypothesized 

that passive administration of members 

of these families of antibodies to 

individuals would represent an 

alternative to the current standard of 

care for severe influenza virus infection. 

Additionally, these families of 

antibodies could be useful for 

development of a product aimed at 

conferring passive immunity in 

vulnerable populations during the time 

of an outbreak or emergence of a 

pandemic strain of influenza. 

This technology is available for 

licensing for commercial development 

in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 

CFR part 404, as well as for further 

development and evaluation under a 

research collaboration. 

NIAID is continuing development of 

these neutralizing antibodies to 

influenza toward a clinical product for 

treatment and/or prevention of 

influenza virus infection. Consequently, 

for some fields of use, NIAID will 

evaluate a license applicant’s 

capabilities and experience in 

advancing similar technologies through 

the regulatory process. 

Potential Commercial Applications: 

• Prevention of influenza A virus 

infection 

• Therapeutic intervention to treat 

influenza infection 

Competitive Advantages: 

• Ability to potently neutralize both 

group 1 and group 2 influenza A strains 

Development Stage: 

• Proof of concept in animal models
