  • Publication number: 20230025608
    Abstract: A set of target peptides are presented by HLA A*0101, A*0201, A*0301, B*4402, B*2705, B*1402, and B*0702 on the surface of disease cells. They are envisioned to among other things (a) stimulate an immune response to the proliferative disease, e.g., cancer, (b) to function as immunotherapeutics in adoptive T cell therapy or as a vaccine, (c) facilitate antibody recognition of tumor boundaries in surgical pathology samples, (d) act as biomarkers for early detection and/or diagnosis of the disease, and (e) act as targets in the generation antibody-like molecules which recognize the target-peptide/MHC complex.

    Publication date: January 26, 2023
    Applicants: University of Virginia Patent Foundation, The University of Birmingham

  • Publication number: 20220041655
    Abstract: A set of phosphorylated peptides are presented by HLA A*0101, A*0201, A*0301, B*4402, B*2705, B*1402, and el B*0702 on the surface of melanoma cells. They have the potential to (a) stimulate an immune response to the cancer, (b) to function as immunotherapeutics in adoptive T-cell therapy or as a vaccine, (c) to facilitate antibody recognition of the tumor boundaries in surgical pathology samples, and (d) act as biomarkers for early detection of the disease. Phosphorylated peptides are also presented for other cancers.

  • Publication number: 20210101955
    Abstract: Provided are isolated TCRs, TCR-like molecules, and portions thereof that bind to phosphopeptide-HLA-A2 complexes. The isolated TCRs, TCR-like molecules, or portions are optionally soluble TCRs, TCR-like molecules, or portions. Also provided are isolated nucleic acids encoding the disclosed TCRs, TCR-like molecules, or portions; host cells that contain the disclosed TCRs, TCR-like molecules, or portions; pharmaceutical compositions that include the disclosed TCRs, TCR-like molecules, portions, nucleic acids, and/or T cells; kits; and methods of using the same.
