T-cell receptors and their use in therapeutic and diagnostic methods

摘要

The present invention provides nucleic acid sequences for T-cell receptors which recognize tumor associated antigens. In particular, T-cell receptors which recognize melanoma antigens. This invention also provides T-cells expressing the antigen specific T-cell receptors. In addition, this invention provides stem cells expressing the antigen specific T-cell receptors or chimeric receptors. This invention further relates to therapeutic and diagnostic compositions and methods employing the T-cell receptors and chimeric receptors provided herein.
