  • Publication number: 20250152717
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for targeting a neoantigen to, for example, treat or prevent cancer. Disclosed embodiments include binding proteins, such as T cell receptors bind to a neoantigen:HLA complex. Disclosed binding proteins are highly sensitive to antigen, capable of inducing activation of host T cells at low concentrations of peptide antigen. In certain embodiments, binding proteins of the present disclosure are non-alloreactive against, are substantially non-alloreactive against, and/or have a low risk of alloreactivity against (i) amino acid sequences from the human proteome and/or (ii) against human HLA alleles. Polynucleotides encoding such binding protein can introduced into a host cell, such as a T cell, and the cell can be used in immunotherapy for treating various cancers.
