Abstract: The present invention relates to T cell receptors (TCRs) which bind the HLA-A2 restricted FMNKFIYEI (158-166) SEQ ID NO: 1 peptide epitope derived from a Fetoprotein (AFP). Certain preferred TCRs of the invention demonstrate excellent binding characteristics and specificity profiles for this AFP epitope. T cell receptors of the invention may comprise at least one TCR alpha chain variable domain and/or at least one TCR beta chain variable domain, the alpha chain variable domain which may comprise an amino acid sequence that has at least 90% identity to the sequence of amino acid residues 1-112 of SEQ ID NO: 2, and/or the beta chain variable domain which may comprise an amino acid sequence that has at least 90% identity to the sequence of amino acid residues 1-112 of SEQ ID NO: 3.

Abstract: The present invention provides a superantigen quality control assay, particularly for SEA-E120, comprising incubating a standard amount of a superantigen-containing test sample with a standard amount of a soluble TCR which binds the superantigen, separating unbound TCR from the resultant superantigen/TCR-containing sample, quantifying the TCR bound in that sample, and comparing that result with a reference result characterising a control superantigen-containing sample. Also provided are soluble TCRs useful as reagents in said assay.
