MAGE-A4 T CELL RECEPTORS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
20220324939 · 2022-10-13 ·

The present invention provides isolated T cell receptors (TCRs) that specifically bind to an HLA-displayed cancer testis antigen Melanoma-Associated Antigen A4 (MAGE-A4) peptide, as well as therapeutic and diagnostic methods of using those isolated TCRs. The present invention provides T cell receptors (TCRs) that were generated against a MAGE-A4 peptide antigen in the context of MHC (HLA-A2). The unique TCR sequences identified have shown specific binding to the small peptide MAGE-A4 presented in the groove of an HLA molecule and exhibited activation of T cells in a reporter assay.

METHODS FOR CONTROLLED ACTIVATION AND/OR EXPANSION OF GENETICALLY ENGINEERED CELLS USING POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL (PEG) RECEPTORS

Provided are genetically engineered induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and derivative cells thereof expressing a polyethylene glycol (PEG) receptors and methods of using the same. Also provided are compositions, polypeptides, vectors, and methods of manufacturing.

Genetically modified cells and uses thereof

The present invention relates generally to a population of stem cells (e.g., iPSCs or HSCs) that comprise nucleic acids encoding a T cell receptor and a chimeric antigen receptor directed to multiple distinct antigenic determinants, for example two distinct tumour antigenic determinants. The present invention is also directed to a population of T cells that co-express a T cell receptor and a chimeric antigen receptor directed to multiple distinct antigenic determinants, such as two distinct tumour antigenic determinants. The cells of the present invention can be derived from chosen donors whose HLA type is compatible with significant sectors of the populations, and are useful in a wide variety of applications, in particular in the context of the therapeutic treatment of neoplastic conditions.
