Patent number: 11053296Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2020Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: IMMATICS BIOTECHNOLOGIES GMBHInventors: Heiko Schuster, Janet Peper, Kevin Roehle, Philipp Wagner, Hans-Georg Rammensee
