Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

T cell receptors that specifically recognize hAFP 158 and methods of their use are provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method for treating an HLA-A2/Hafp 158 expressing cancer in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering said subject a therapeutically effective amount of CD4 and/or CD8 T cells comprising a recombinant T cell receptor (TCR) comprising a Vα domain and a Vβ domain, (a) the Vα domain comprising three complementarity determining regions (CDRs), CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3, wherein CDR1 comprises an amino acid sequence of DRNVDY (residues 47 to 52 of SEQ ID NO:2), wherein CDR2 comprises an amino acid sequence of IFSNGE (residues 70 to 75 of SEQ ID NO:2), and wherein CDR3 comprises an amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 29; and (b) the Vβ domain comprising three CDRs, CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3, wherein CDR1 comprises an amino acid sequence of NSHNY (residues 44 to 48 of SEQ ID NO:11), wherein CDR2 comprises an amino acid sequence of SYGAGN (residues 66 to 71 of SEQ ID NO: 11), and wherein CDR3 comprises an amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 37. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cancer is hepatocellular carcinoma. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the T cell is autologous to the subject. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the TCR is a humanized TCR. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the T cell is a human cell.
