  • Publication number: 20230035702
    Abstract: The present invention relates to peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and cells for use in immunotherapeutic methods. In particular, the present invention relates to the immunotherapy of cancer. The present invention furthermore relates to tumor-associated T-cell peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides 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. Peptides bound to molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), or peptides as such, can also be targets of antibodies, soluble T-cell receptors, and other binding molecules.

  • Publication number: 20230024554
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of characterizing the binding characteristics between a peptide of interest and MHC molecules of a given cell type, the method comprising the steps of: (i) Providing two or more cells characterized by displaying, on their surface, MHC molecules, (ii) dispensing the two or more cells in two or more vessels, so that each vessel comprises one or more cells, (iii) adding, to the different vessels, different variants of a peptide of interest, wherein the variants of said peptide are labeled and have the same amino acid sequence, yet differ from one another in the type of labeling and their concentration, and exposing the cells thereto so as to form, in the different vessels, peptide-MHC complexes on the surface of the cells, (iv) isolating the thus formed peptide-MHC complexes and (v) determining the concentration of the different peptide-MHC complexes formed (FIG. 1).

  • Patent number: 11559573
    Abstract: A method of eliciting an immune response in a patient who has a cancer includes administering to said patient a composition containing a population of activated T cells that selectively recognize the cancer cells in the patient that aberrantly express a peptide consisting of the amino acid sequence of GVYDGEEHSV (SEQ ID NO: 303), in which the peptide is in a complex with an MHC molecule.
