  • Publication number: 20200339652
    Abstract: Disclosed are T-cell receptors (TCRs) binding to tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) for targeting cancer cells, T-cells expressing same, methods for producing same, and methods for treating cancers using same. Disclosed are TCRs and their variants that bind to HLA class I or II molecules with a peptide, such as MAG-003 have the amino acid sequence of KVLEHVVRV (SEQ ID NO:1). The description further relates to peptides, proteins, nucleic acids, cells for use in immunotherapeutic methods, the immunotherapy of cancer, and tumor-associated T-cell peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides that can for example serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients of vaccine compositions that stimulate anti-tumor immune responses, or to stimulate T-cells ex vivo and transfer into patients. Peptides bound to molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), or peptides as such, can also be targets of antibodies, soluble T-cell receptors, and other binding molecules.

  • Publication number: 20200269352
    Abstract: Methods and systems for generative manufacturing of a three-dimensional component from a powder, wherein a layer structure model of the component to be manufactured is divided into a core region and a shell region adjacent to the core region, and wherein the shell region forms at least a portion of the surface of the three-dimensional component. Then, a layer-based irradiation process is performed in which a density of irradiated powder layers is lower in the shell region than in the core region.
