  • Publication number: 20190321478
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to antigen recognizing constructs against tumor associated antigens (MAGEA1). The invention in particular provides novel T cell receptor (TCR) based molecules which are selective and specific for the tumor expressed antigen of the invention. The TCR of the invention, and TAA binding fragments derived therefrom, are of use for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of TAA expressing cancerous diseases. Further provided are nucleic acids encoding the antigen recognizing constructs of the invention, vectors comprising these nucleic acids, recombinant cells expressing the antigen recognizing constructs and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds of the invention.

  • Publication number: 20190309042
    Abstract: Disclosed are T-cell receptors (TCRs) binding to tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) for targeting cancer cells, T-cells expressing same, methods for producing same, and methods for treating cancers using same. Disclosed are TCRs and their variants that bind to HLA class I or II molecules with a peptide, such as MAG-003 have the amino acid sequence of KVLEHVVRV (SEQ ID NO:1). The description further relates to peptides, proteins, nucleic acids, cells for use in immunotherapeutic methods, the immunotherapy of cancer, and tumor-associated T-cell peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides that can for example serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients of vaccine compositions that stimulate anti-tumor immune responses, or to stimulate T-cells ex vivo and transfer into patients. Peptides bound to molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), or peptides as such, can also be targets of antibodies, soluble T-cell receptors, and other binding molecules.
