Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A T cell receptor (TCR) having the property of binding to the gp100 YLEPGPVTA peptide-HLA-A2 complex and comprising a TCR alpha variable domain and/or a TCR beta variable domain, characterized in that the domains are mutated relative to a TCR having the extracellular alpha and beta chain sequences SEQ ID NOs: 2 and that the TCR has a binding affinity for, and/or a binding half-life for, the YLEPGPVTA-HLA-A2 complex at least double that of a reference TCR. Embodiments of the invention such as the use of such TCRs in adoptive therapy, and fusions of such TCRs with therapeutic agents are also described.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A DNA or RNA molecule encoding a T cell receptor (TCR) that binds to a YLEPGPVTA (SEQ ID NO: 1)-HLA-A2 complex comprising a TCR alpha chain variable domain and a TCR beta chain variable domain, wherein: (a) the alpha chain variable domain has (i) at least 90% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence comprising amino acids 1 to 109 of SEQ ID NO: 2, or (ii) at least 90% sequence identity to the amino acids 1 to 109 of SEQ ID NO: 2 and has a mutation at…
