  • Patent number: 12139537
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an antibody for inducing immune tolerance, an induced lymphocyte, and a cell therapy agent therapeutic method using the induced lymphocyte. Specifically, the present disclosure provides an antibody that inhibits the interaction between CD80 and/or CD86 expressed on the surface of a certain cell and CD28 expressed on the surface of another cell, and substantially does not induce immune activation-induced cytokines. In a specific embodiment, the Fc portion of the antibody substantially does not produce the immune activation-induced cytokines.

  • Patent number: 12134637
    Abstract: Provided is a MART-1 (27-35) epitope-specific T cell receptor, comprising an ? chain and a ? chain. The ? chain comprises three complementary determining regions, respective sequences thereof being positions 61-66, positions 84-89, and positions 124-136 of SEQ ID No. 3. The ? chain comprises three complementary determining regions, respective amino acid sequences thereof being positions 46-50, positions 68-73, and positions 112-125 of SEQ ID No. 4. A T cell expressing the TCR can effectively recognize a MART-1 (27-35) epitope polypeptide supported on a T2 cell and secrete IFN-?, thereby demonstrating the functionality of the receptor. Use of the TCR with a relevant drug target allows for effective drug development.
