  • Publication number: 20230138309
    Abstract: Provided are methods of preparing an enriched population of T cells having antigenic specificity for a target antigen. The method may comprise isolating T cells from a tumor sample of a patient; selecting the isolated T cells which have a gene expression profile; and separating the selected T cells from the unselected cells. The separated selected T cells provide an enriched population of T cells having antigenic specificity for the target antigen. Methods of isolating a T cell receptor (TCR), preparing a population of cells that express a TCR, isolated TCRs, isolated populations of cells, pharmaceutical compositions, and methods of treating or preventing a condition in a mammal are also provided.
