T cell receptor (TCR)-based immunotherapy has emerged as a promising therapeutic approach for the treatment of patients with solid cancers. Identifying peptide-human leukocyte antigen (pHLA) complexes highly presented on tumors and rarely expressed healthy tissue in combination high-affinity TCRs that when introduced into cells can redirect to eliminate tumor but not is key requirement safe efficacious TCR-based therapies. To discover shared antigens could be targeted via adoptive therapy,...

The histone variant H2AX is a principal component of chromatin involved in the detection, signaling, and repair DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). thought to operate primarily through its C-terminal S139 phosphorylation, which mediates recruitment damage response (DDR) factors at DSB sites. Here, we describe comprehensive screen 67 residues determine their contributions functions. Our analysis revealed that both sumoylated ubiquitylated. Individual defective for sumoylation, ubiquitylation,...

Abstract IMA101 is an actively personalized, multi-targeted adoptive cell therapy (ACT), whereby autologous T cells are directed against multiple novel defined peptide-HLA (pHLA) cancer targets. HLA-A*02:01-positive patients with relapsed/refractory solid tumors expressing ≥1 of 8 predefined targets underwent leukapheresis. Endogenous specific for up to 4 were primed and expanded in vitro. Patients received lymphodepletion (fludarabine, cyclophosphamide), followed by T-cell infusion low-dose...

Neoantigens can be predicted and in some cases identified using the data obtained from whole exome sequencing transcriptome of tumor cells. These coupled with single-cell RNA for direct interrogation transcriptome, surfaceome, pairing αβ T-cell receptors (TCRαβ) hundreds single T Using these 2 large datasets, we established a platform identifying antigens recognized by TCRαβs Our approach is based on rapid expression cloned TCRαβ genes as Sleeping Beauty transposons determination introduced...
