  • Patent number: 9732141
    Abstract: A T cell receptor molecule (TCR) containing an alpha chain portion and a beta chain portion wherein the alpha chain portion contains three complementarity determining regions (CDRs): CDR1?: SSYSPS CDR2?: YTSAATL CDR3?: VVSPFSGGGADGLT or comprising or consisting of SPPSGGGADGLT and the beta chain portion contains three complementarity determining regions (CDRs): CDR1?: DFQATT CDR2?: SNEGSKA CDR3?: comprising SARDGGEG or comprising or consisting of RDGGEGSETQY, or wherein up to three amino acid residues in one or more CDRs are replaced by another amino acid residue. The invention also includes polynucleotides encoding the TCR molecules, and host cells containing the said polynucleotides. Patient derived T cells may have the polynucleotides encoding the TCR molecules introduced therein, and the engineered T cells may be introduced into the patient in order to combat a WT1-expressing malignancy.

  • Patent number: 6805861
    Abstract: A method of treating a patient with a disease wherein the patient contains diseased cells which cells contain, or are associated with, an abnormal molecule or an abnormally elevated amount of a molecule and which cells are capable of presenting at least part of said molecule on their surface by an HLA class I (or equivalent) molecule, the method comprising administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) which recognize at least part of said molecule when presented by an HLA class I (or equivalent) molecule on the surface of a cell characterized in that the cytotoxic T lymphocytes are not derived from the patient with a disease. Preferably, the CTL are derived from an individual which individual does not carry the HLA class I (or equivalent) molecule type which, in the patient, presents at least part of said abnormal molecule, or molecule abnormally elevated, contained in or associated with the disease cells of said patient.
