Abstract Purpose: Immunotherapies mediate the regression of human tumors through recognition tumor antigens by immune cells that trigger an response. Mutations in RAS oncogenes occur about 30% all patients with cancer. These mutations play important role both establishment and survival are commonly found hotspots. Discovering T-cell receptors (TCR) recognize shared mutated presented on MHC class I II molecules thus promising reagents for “off-the-shelf” adoptive cell therapies (ACT)...

Background Cellular immunotherapies using autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) can induce durable regression of epithelial cancers in selected patients with treatment-refractory metastatic disease. As the genetic engineering T cells tumor-reactive T-cell receptors (TCRs) comes to forefront clinical investigation, rapid, scalable, and cost-effective detection patient-specific neoantigen-reactive TIL remains a top priority. Methods We analyzed single-cell transcriptomic states 31...

Engineered T cells expressing tumor-specific T-cell receptors (TCRs) are emerging as a mode of personalized cancer immunotherapy that requires identification TCRs against the products known driver mutations and novel in timely fashion. We present nonviral non-next-generation sequencing platform for rapid, efficient neoantigen-specific TCR evaluation does not require use recombinant cloning techniques. The includes an innovative method TCRα detection using Sanger sequencing, pairings TCRα/β...

Abstract Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) targeting neoantigens can achieve durable clinical responses in patients with cancer. Most arise from rare mutations, requiring highly individualized treatments. To broaden the applicability of ACT neoantigens, we focused on TP53 mutations commonly shared across different cancer types. Here, describe a library T receptors (TCRs) that target among 7.3% solid cancers. These TCRs recognized tumor cells mutation- and human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-specific...

<h3>Background</h3> As cellular immunotherapies utilizing genetically engineered T cells become a more significant focus of clinical investigation, identification patient-specific neoantigen-reactive cell receptors (TCRs) in practical and efficient manner is top priority. Using high-dimensional single-cell analysis, we recently identified common gene expression signature anti-tumor, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) from patients with metastatic cancer, which included high cell-surface...
