Abstract: The present invention provides TCRs having high affinity. The TCR binds to SLYNTVATL (SEQ ID NO:16)-HLA-A*0201 with a KD of less than or equal to 1 ?M and/or an off-rate (koff) of 1×10?3 S?1 or slower using Surface Plasmon Resonance. The TCRs are non-native, isolated or recombinant. The TCRs are useful, either alone, or with a therapeutic agent, for targeting HIV infected cells that present the SLYNTVATL (SEQ ID NO:16)-HLA-A*0201 complex.

Abstract: A method of increasing the affinity and/or decreasing the off-rate of a given TCR specific for a given target pMHC, comprising creating a plurality of TCRs having an ? chain CDR2 sequence and/or a ? chain CDR2 sequence different from the corresponding CDR2 sequence(s) of the given TCR but having the same ? and ? CDR1 and CDR3 sequences as the given TCR, determining the affinity and/or off-rate of members of said plurality of TCRs for the target pMHC, and selecting one or more members having at least a 10-fold greater affinity for the target pMHC than the given TCR and/or a 10-fold slower off-rate for the target pMHC than the given TCR.

Abstract: The present invention provides TCRs having an affinity (KD) of less than or equal to 1 ?M, and/or an off-rate (koff) of 1×10?3S?1 or slower, for the SLYNTVATL-HLA-A*0201 complex provided that when the said TCR is presented by cell and comprises SEQ ID NOS:1 and 2, the cell is not a native T cell. Such TCRs are useful, either alone or associated with a therapeutic agent, for targeting HIV infected cells presenting that complex.
