摘要 |
The present invention provides a T cell receptor (TCR) having the property of binding to ALWGPDPAAA (derived from human pre-pro insulin (PPI) protein) HLA-A*02 complex and comprising a TCR alpha chain variable domain and a TCR beta chain variable domain. Also provided are nucleic acids encoding the TCR and cells engineered to present the TCR. Therapeutic agents based on TCRs of the invention can be used for the purpose of delivering immunosuppressive agents to beta cells in order to prevent their destruction by CD8+ T cells. |
