Repertoire of allo-restricted peptide-specific T cell receptor sequences and use thereof

摘要

The present invention is directed to a kit-of-parts or composition containing nucleic acid sequences coding for high-avidity, allo-restricted TCR, wherein the TCR are independently directed against the tyrosinase antigen, the melan-A antigen and the survivin antigen. The invention is further directed to a kit-of-parts or composition containing at least three groups of transgenic lymphocytes transformed with vectors coding for TCR against said antigens. Furthermore, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition and its use in the treatment of diseases involving malignant cells expressing said tumor-associated antigens. The invention further relates to a nucleic acid molecule coding for a TCR that recognizes the survivin antigen, a TCR encoded thereby and a T cell expressing said TCR. Further, the invention discloses a vector, a cell and a pharmaceutical composition encoding/containing same and their use in the treatment of diseases involving malignant cells expressing survivin.
