  • Publication number: 20230258635
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods of obtaining a cell population enriched for T cells with a phenotype, the method comprising: (a) obtaining a bulk population of T cells from a tumor sample of a patient; (b) specifically selecting T cells with a phenotype comprising markers CD3+, CD39?, and CD69? from the bulk population; and (c) separating the cells selected in (b) from cells which lack the phenotype to obtain a cell population enriched for T cells with the phenotype. Related methods of treating or preventing cancer, methods of selecting a therapy for a cancer patient, and methods for predicting the clinical response to immunotherapy in a cancer patient are also disclosed. Isolated or purified cell population obtained according to the methods and related pharmaceutical compositions are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20230203124
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods of isolating a TCR having antigenic specificity for a mutated amino acid sequence encoded by a cancer-specific mutation, the method comprising: identifying one or more genes in the nucleic acid of a cancer cell of a patient, each gene containing a cancer-specific mutation that encodes a mutated amino acid sequence; inducing autologous APCs of the patient to present the mutated amino acid sequence; co-culturing autologous T cells of the patient with the autologous APCs that present the mutated amino acid sequence; selecting the autologous T cells; and isolating a nucleotide sequence that encodes the TCR from the selected autologous T cells, wherein the TCR has antigenic specificity for the mutated amino acid sequence encoded by the cancer-specific mutation. Also disclosed are related methods of preparing a population of cells, populations of cells, TCRs, pharmaceutical compositions, and methods of treating or preventing cancer.
