Journal ArticleDOI

An approved in vitro approach to preclinical safety and efficacy evaluation of engineered T cell receptor anti-CD3 bispecific (ImmTAC) molecules.

TL;DR: This package comprises a broad range of cellular and molecular assays using human tissues and cultured cells to test efficacy, safety and specificity, and hence predict human responses in clinical trials and proposes that this entirely in vitro package offers a potential model to be applied to screening other TCR-based biologics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Examining the presentation of tumor-associated antigens on peptide-pulsed T2 cells

TL;DR: It is indicated that peptide concentrations in the low nanomolar range are required for T2 cells to present TAAs in extents that are comparable to those of malignant cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Elimination of Latently HIV-infected Cells from Antiretroviral Therapy-suppressed Subjects by Engineered Immune-mobilizing T-cell Receptors.

TL;DR: T-cell receptors specific for an immunodominant Gag epitope, SL9, and its escape variants were engineered to achieve supraphysiological affinity and fused to a humanised CD3-specific single chain antibody fragment, and the efficiency of infected cell elimination correlated with HIV Gag expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

TCRs with Distinct Specificity Profiles Use Different Binding Modes to Engage an Identical Peptide-HLA Complex.

TL;DR: Data show that TCRs specific for a cognate peptide recognize discrete peptide repertoires and reconciles how an individual’s limited TCR repertoire following negative selection in the thymus is able to recognize a vastly larger antigenic pool.
