Structure-Based, Rational Design of T Cell Receptors
Adoptive cell transfer using engineered T cells is emerging as a promising treatment for metastatic melanoma. Such an approach allows one to introduce T cell receptor (TCR) modifications that, while maintaining the specificity for the targeted antigen, can enhance the binding and kinetic parameters for the interaction with peptides (p) bound to major histocompatibility complexes (MHC). Using th...
متن کاملSoluble T cell receptors: novel immunotherapies.
T cell receptors are antigen-specific proteins that have evolved to recognize peptide antigens presented by human leukocyte antigen molecules on most cell types. Like antibodies, T cell receptors are produced with huge diversity but, unlike antibodies, T cell receptors are not secreted and do not undergo somatic mutations that increase their affinities for antigen. Recently, however, methods ha...
متن کاملRational development of high-affinity T-cell receptor-like antibodies.
T-cell interaction with a target cell is a key event in the adaptive immune response and primarily driven by T-cell receptor (TCR) recognition of peptide-MHC (pMHC) complexes. TCR avidity for a given pMHC is determined by number of MHC molecules, availability of coreceptors, and TCR affinity for MHC or peptide, respectively, with peptide recognition being the most important factor to confer tar...
متن کاملVaccines: From Empirical Development to Rational Design
Infectious diseases are responsible for an overwhelming number of deaths worldwide and their clinical management is often hampered by the emergence of multi-drug-resistant strains. Therefore, prevention through vaccination currently represents the best course of action to combat them. However, immune escape and evasion by pathogens often render vaccine development difficult. Furthermore, most c...
متن کاملImmunological and Translational Aspects of NK Cell-Based Antitumor Immunotherapies
Natural killer (NK) cells play a pivotal role in the first line of defense against cancer. NK cells that are deficient in CD3 and a clonal T cell receptor (TCR) can be subdivided into two major subtypes, CD56dimCD16+ cytotoxic and CD56brightCD16- immunoregulatory NK cells. Cytotoxic NK cells not only directly kill tumor cells without previous stimulation by cytotoxic effector molecules, such as...
