  • Publication number: 20230091330
    Abstract: The present invention concerns antigen binding proteins directed against PRAME protein-derived antigens. The invention in particular provides antigen binding proteins which are specific for the tumor expressed antigen PRAME, wherein the tumor antigen comprises or consists of SEQ ID NO: 50 and is in a complex with a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) protein. The antigen binding proteins of the invention contain, in particular, the complementary determining regions (CDRs) of novel engineered T cell receptors (TCRs) that specifically bind to said PRAME peptide. The antigen binding proteins of the invention are for use in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of PRAME expressing cancerous diseases. Further provided are nucleic acids encoding the antigen binding proteins of the invention, vectors comprising said nucleic acids, recombinant cells expressing the antigen binding proteins and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antigen binding proteins of the invention.

  • Publication number: 20230024554
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of characterizing the binding characteristics between a peptide of interest and MHC molecules of a given cell type, the method comprising the steps of: (i) Providing two or more cells characterized by displaying, on their surface, MHC molecules, (ii) dispensing the two or more cells in two or more vessels, so that each vessel comprises one or more cells, (iii) adding, to the different vessels, different variants of a peptide of interest, wherein the variants of said peptide are labeled and have the same amino acid sequence, yet differ from one another in the type of labeling and their concentration, and exposing the cells thereto so as to form, in the different vessels, peptide-MHC complexes on the surface of the cells, (iv) isolating the thus formed peptide-MHC complexes and (v) determining the concentration of the different peptide-MHC complexes formed (FIG. 1).
