  • Patent number: 11686724
    Abstract: The current invention provides methods to identify ?9?2T-cell receptors (?9?2TCR) that mediate anti-tumour responses. Surprisingly, it was now found that the CDR3 regions of the ?9-T-cell receptor chain and the ?2-T-Cell receptor chain (?2TCR chain) are of importance. Based on these findings, combinatorial-??TCR-chain-exchange (CTE) is proposed as an efficient method for identifying ?9?2TCRs that mediate anti-tumour responses. Using the method of the invention, specific sequences of the respective ?9TCR and ?2TCR chains were identified that mediate anti-tumour responses. Hence, the invention further provides for specific ?9?2TCRs, or fragments thereof, that may be used e.g. in diagnostics or treatment of cancer. The invention further provides for nucleic acid sequences, genetic constructs and retroviral vectors that can be used to express the ?9?2TCRs according to the invention.

  • Publication number: 20220193137
    Abstract: The current disclosure provides for immune cells expressing immune receptors comprising i) a polypeptide having an antigen binding domain, a TCR ?-chain constant domain, and a TCR ?-chain transmembrane domain; and/or ii) a polypeptide having an antigen binding domain, a TCR ?-chain constant domain, and a TCR ?-chain transmembrane domain. The current disclosure also provides for immune cell expressing immune receptors comprising an antigen binding domain, and a transmembrane domain, wherein the antigen binding domain specifically binds a binding moiety that in turn specifically binds a target, for example, a cancer cell. The immune cells, optionally in combination with the binding moiety, can be used in medical treatment, preferably the treatment of a cancer.

  • Patent number: 11166984
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for identifying ?T-cell (or ?T-cell) receptors chains or parts thereof that mediate an anti-tumor or anti-infection response by identifying amino acid sequences comprising ?T-cells (or ?T-cell) receptors chains or parts thereof that are shared between different donors.

  • Patent number: 10973895
    Abstract: The current application provides for exogenous immune receptors that do not require any additional selection marker genes and/or any additional silicide genes. The disclosure allows for the production of engineered T cells that can be enriched for in an untouched manner, i.e., the engineered T cells do not require any interaction with any outside agent and can be selected for by eliminating T cells that express the endogenous alpha beta T cell receptor. Engineered T cells with an exogenous immune receptor are provided that can be differentiated from endogenous T cell receptor and now can be eliminated, i.e., depleted, with a selective antibody that specifically targets the exogenous immune receptor.

  • Publication number: 20200368278
    Abstract: Described herein are compositions and methods of treatment for identifying and clearing cell types expressing particular cell surface markers. In one embodiment, the composition comprises a polypeptide construct that selectively binds a J-configuration of CD277 on a target cell, wherein said polypeptide construct is expressed in an engineered cell.
