  • IDENTIFICATION OF T CELL TARGET ANTIGENS
    Publication number: 20170240884
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of identifying a target antigen of T cells comprising (a) contacting (aa) cells expressing (i) a functional T cell receptor complex comprising predefined matching T cell receptor ? and ? chains; and (ii) a read-out system for T cell activation; with (ab) antigen-presenting cells carrying (iii) peptide libraries encoded by randomised nucleic acid sequences; and (iv) WIC molecules recognised by the T cell receptor of (i); (b) assessing T cell activation using said read-out system; (c) isolating antigen-presenting cells that are in contact with the cells in which the read-out system indicates T cell activation; (d) identifying the target antigen or the nucleic acid molecule encoding said target antigen.
