  • Publication number: 20240327465
    Abstract: The present invention relates to peptides, antigen binding proteins, nucleic acids and cells for use in immunotherapeutic methods. In particular, the present invention relates to the immunotherapy of cancer, especially of fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FL-HCC). The present invention furthermore relates to tumor-associated T-cell peptide epitopes and recombinant T-cell receptors 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.

  • Patent number: 11319580
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for high-throughput detection of genome-wide modifications in a nucleic acid genome obtained from a cell or tissue caused by the activity of a designer nuclease comprising the following steps: a) Extraction of the genomic DNA from cells that were exposed to a designer nuclease under conditions which allow the designer nuclease to introduce a DNA double-strand break (DSB) in the genomic DNA of the cell, b) fragmentation of the nucleic acid to obtain random fragments, c) performing an end repair in order to obtain blunt ends, d) ligation with a linker comprising a sequence complementary to a so called “linker primer”, e) performing a first nucleic acid amplification reaction with a “linker primer” and a so called “ON-target primer”, whereby one primer is located upstream and one primer is located downstream of the on-target site, wherein at least one decoy primer is present in the reaction mixture, f) performing a second nucleic acid amplification reaction whereby so called “nested prim
