Abstract: The present invention includes engineered T cell receptor (TCR) proteins, nucleic acids, vectors, host cells, methods of treating cancer, and chimeric antigen receptor expressing T cell (CAR-T) comprising an alpha chain CDR3 having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, or 23 and/or a beta chain CDR3 having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, or 24, wherein the TCR is specific for a KRAS G12>V mutation peptide, antigen-MHC binding portions, and full length portions of the same.

Abstract: Methods of modulating a T cell response are provided. Methods include, among other things, contacting a T cell that expresses TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL, Apo-2L) or TRAIL receptor (DR4 or DR5) with a molecule that binds to TRAIL (Apo-2L), a molecule that binds to TRAIL receptor (DR4 or DR5), or with a soluble TRAIL (Apo-2L) reagent.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and composition for treating tumors or infectious diseases, wherein the composition includes CD40 binding molecules together with CTL-activating peptides, e.g., tumor antigens. Such composition is useful for enhancing the anti-tumor effect of a peptide tumor vaccine, or for otherwise activating CTLs so that the activated CTLs can act against tumorous or infected cells. The CD40 binding molecules can include antibody molecules, as well as homologues, analogues and modified or derived forms thereof, including immunoglobulin fragments like Fab, F(ab?)2 and Fv, as well as other molecules including peptides, oligonucleotides, peptidomimetics and organic compounds which bind to CD40 and activate the CTL response.

Abstract: The invention is directed to human antibodies that bind CD40 (e.g., human CD40), methods of producing the antibodies and methods of use. Invention human CD40 antibodies include antibodies that can modulate one or more activities of CD40, such as increasing or decreasing cell proliferation. Invention human CD40 antibodies are therefore useful for increasing or decreasing a CD40 activity in order to alter CD40 activity in vivo.
