  • Publication number: 20240000935
    Abstract: In various embodiments, the present disclosure provides T cell compositions comprising T cells that encode and/or express a T cell receptor (TCR) that binds to a neoantigen associated with a subject's cancer, and are useful for adoptive immunotherapy. Also disclosed are methods for making and/or using T cell compositions described herein.

  • Patent number: 11723921
    Abstract: The invention involves generating a T cell response to subdominant antigens and using the cells to therapeutically change the cellular homeostasis and nature of the immune response. In a preferred embodiment, the cells are generated outside of the patient avoiding the influence of the patient's immunologic milieu. By stimulating and growing the T cells from a patient in a tissue culture to one or more subdominant antigens and the transplanting them into the patient, if enough cells are expanded and transplanted, the transplanted cells overwhelm the endogenous dominant T cells in the response to either break or induce immune tolerance or otherwise modify the immune response to the cells or organism expressing that antigen. When the memory cells are established they are then reflective of this new immunodominance hierarchy so that the desired therapeutic effect is long lasting.

  • Patent number: 6080840
    Abstract: An intact, assembled T cell receptor (TcR) in soluble form is provided. The soluble TcR is prepared by splicing the extracellular domains of a T cell receptor to the glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI) membrane anchor sequences of Thy-1. The molecule is expressed in the absence of CD3 on the cell surface, and can be cleaved from the membrane by treatment with phosphatidylinositol specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC). The .alpha. and .beta. chains of the soluble molecule are paired in the native conformation as judged by reactivity with the anti-V.sub..beta. 8 monoclonal antibody F23.1, and with the anti-clonotypic monoclonal antibody 1B2. The soluble TcR is a disulfide linked dimer with a molecular mass of 95 kDa on SDS-PAGE under nonreducing conditions, and 47 kDa after reduction.
