P53-specific T cell receptor for adoptive immunotherapy

摘要

The present invention relates to molecular cloning of cDNA for both A and B chains of hu p53-specific, HLA restricted mu TCR, transfer of the cDNA to hu T cells, and functional expression of the p53-specific TCR in hu CTLs. The functional expression of the mu TCR results in the recognition of endogenously processed hu p53 expressed in tumor cells. The invention thus also relates to an anti-cancer immunotherapy by the adoptive transfer of TCR gene modified autologous T cells.
