  • Patent number: 9068178
    Abstract: A T cell receptor (TCR) having the property of binding to the gp100 YLEPGPVTA peptide-HLA-A2 complex and comprising a TCR alpha variable domain and/or a TCR beta variable domain, characterized in that the domains are mutated relative to a TCR having the extracellular alpha and beta chain sequences SEQ ID NOs: 2 and that the TCR has a binding affinity for, and/or a binding half-life for, the YLEPGPVTA-HLA-A2 complex at least double that of a reference TCR. Embodiments of the invention such as the use of such TCRs in adoptive therapy, and fusions of such TCRs with therapeutic agents are also described.

  • Publication number: 20130189309
    Abstract: This invention provides a cell presenting at least one T cell receptor (TCR) anchored to the membrane by a trans-membrane sequence, said TCR comprising an interchain disulfide bond between extracellular constant domain residues which is not present in native TCRs.

  • Publication number: 20120190828
    Abstract: A bifunctional polypeptide comprising a specific binding partner for a peptide-MHC epitope, such as an antibody or T cell receptor, and an immune effector, such as an antibody or a cytokine, the immune effector part being linked to the N-terminus of the peptide-MHC binding part.

  • Patent number: 8217144
    Abstract: The present invention provides TCRs having an affinity (KD) of less than or equal to 3 ?M, and/or an off-rate (koff) of 1×10?3 S?1 or slower, for the AAGIGILTV-HLA-A*0201 complex. Such TCRs are useful, either alone or associated with a therapeutic agent, for targeting cancer cells presenting that complex.

  • Publication number: 20100166722
    Abstract: This invention provides a method of treating cancer or infection by administering T cells transfected with T cell receptors (TCRs) which in their soluble form have a half life for their interaction with their cognate peptide-MHC complex chosen to enhance the avidity of the T cells for target cells presenting that peptide MHC complex while maintaining the activation specificity of the T cells by that peptide-MHC complex.
