Methods for selectively expanding cells expressing a TCR with a murine constant region

Disclosed are methods of selectively expanding a number of T cells. The methods may comprise: modifying human T cells to express a TCR, wherein the TCR comprises a murine constant region; producing a population of cells comprising a number of human T cells expressing the TCR and a number of human T cells not expressing the TCR; and culturing the population of cells in the presence of (i) irradiated feeder cells, (ii) one or more cytokines, and (iii) an antibody, or an antigen-binding portion thereof, wherein the antibody has antigenic specificity for the murine constant region of the TCR, so as to selectively expand the number of T cells expressing the TCR over the number of T cells not expressing the TCR. Also disclosed are related populations of cells, pharmaceutical compositions, and methods of treating or preventing cancer.

HLA-A2 TUMOR ASSOCIATED ANTIGEN PEPTIDES AND COMPOSITIONS

A peptide or composition comprising at least one HLA-A2 epitope or analog from CEA, HER2/neu, MAGE2, MAGE3, or p53.

Methods of obtaining tumor-specific T cell receptors

Provided methods of obtaining a plurality of T cell receptors specifically recognizing a target tumor antigen peptide from an individual that has clinically benefitted from an immunotherapy, such as Multiple Antigen Specific Cell Therapy. Also provided tumor-specific TCRs, engineered immune cells expressing the TCRs and methods of treating a disease using the engineered immune cells.

TARGETING COMMON SOMATIC MUTATIONS IN BREAST CANCER WITH NEO-ANTIGEN SPECIFIC ADOPTIVE T CELL THERAPY

Embodiments of the disclosure concern methods and compositions related to T cell receptors directed against breast cancer neoantigens, including immunotherapeutic compositions of any kind. In specific embodiments, the TCRs are identified following particular methods of producing neoantigen-specific T cells, including particular culturing methods.
