Problems solved by technology

Regarding the processable remaining T cell line reactive with the peptide of SEQ ID NO:1, Nielsen et al. discuss the options for TCR gene therapy, but they argue that the utility of TCR engineering is limited based on the small number of patients expressing HLA-B*07. sex is limited

Embodiment 1

[0132] Example 1: Generation of Mutation-Specific T Cells

[0133] PBMCs were isolated from the blood of HLA-B7 positive healthy donors. Monocytes were isolated by plastic adhesion to generate dendritic cells (DC), and then cultured in RPMI containing 800 IU / ml GM-CSF and 10 ng / ml IL-4 in 1% human serum for 3 days, followed by adding 10 ng / ml Immature dendritic cells (imDC) were cultured overnight in the presence of ml LPS and 50 ng / ml interferon gamma (IFN gamma) to allow maturation. Mature dendritic cells (mDC) were then loaded with a mutant peptide (RPIPIKYKAM, SEQ ID NO:2) and used to prime autologous CD8-positive naive T cells (5×10 5 T cells / well, varying with donor-dependent DC-T cell ratio). After 10 days, cells in each well were stained with a specific streptamer (HLA*B07:02-RPIPIKYKAM), or after short (~6 hr) peptide restimulation for T cell activation markers such as CD137 (4-1BB)) was stained. Re-stimulate positively stained wells with peptide-loaded autologous...

[0136] Example 2: Identification of Mutation-Specific T Cell Receptors (TCRs)

[0137] After final detection with IFNγ ELISA, viable CD8 and streptamer positive cells were isolated separately by FACS from each reactive T cell clone. Perform total RNA isolation. TCRα and β genes were amplified by 5'-RACEPCR and cloned. Multiple bacterial clones from each TCR chain were sequenced to analyze T cell clonality. Table 1 shows the CDR3 of MyD88-L265P mutation-specific TCR, its sequence number and gene subtype, and Table 2 shows the list of amino acid sequences of CDR1 and CDR2.

[0146] Embodiment 3: TCR affinity analysis

[0147] Peripheral CD8+ T cells from HLA-B7-positive healthy donors were successfully transduced to express mutation-specific TCR without signs of fratricide, and compared with HLA*B07:02-transduced cells loaded with different concentrations of mutant peptides K562 cells were co-cultured. IFNγ response was determined by ELISA. image 3 A / C shows nonlinear curve analysis of TCR-engineered T cells to IFNγ response to mutant peptide titration. Responses to mutant peptides were detected at concentrations as low as 10 -4 μg / ml, K D Values ​​are in the nanomolar (high affinity) range. image 3 B / D shows a non-linear curve analysis of the IFNγ response to the corresponding wild-type peptide titration. Mutation-specific TCRs showed 10,000-fold greater affinity for the mutant peptide. Table 3 shows the affinities of the different TCRs analyzed.

Abstract

The present invention is directed to the field of immunotherapy, in particular, adoptive T cell therapy or T cell receptor (TCR) gene therapy of cancer. The invention provides a nucleic acid encoding at least one TCR alpha or beta chain construct of a TCR construct capable of specifically binding to a MYD88 L265P peptide of SEQ ID NO: 2 in the context of HLA-B*07:02 having a high avidity to said peptide / HLA complex. The invention also provides corresponding proteins and host cells, preferably, CD8+ T cells, as well as the medical use of such nucleic acids, proteins or host cells, in particular, in the diagnosis, prevention and / or treatment of a MyD88 L265P expressing cancer such as a non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma selected from the group comprising diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), e.g., activated B-cell-like DLBCL (ABC-DLBCL) or pCNS DLBCL, cutaneous DLBCL, leg-type DLBCL or testicular DLBCL; lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL), e.g., Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (WM); and IgM monoclonal gammopathy (IgM MGUS).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of immunotherapy, in particular to adoptive T cell therapy or T cell receptor (TCR) gene therapy. The present invention provides a nucleic acid encoding at least one TCR alpha or beta chain construct of a TCR construct capable of binding to the peptide / HLA complex of HLA-B*07:02 with high affinity In the presence of the MYD88 L265P peptide that specifically binds SEQ ID NO:2. The present invention also provides the protein and host cell corresponding to the above nucleic acid, preferably CD8+ T cells, and the medical application of the nucleic acid, protein or host cell, especially in the diagnosis, prevention and / or treatment of cancers carrying the MYD88 L265P mutation the use of. The cancer carrying the MYD88 L265P mutation is for example selected from diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (for example activated B-cell DLBCL (ABC-DLBCL) or primary CNS DLBCL, skin DLBCL, leg DLBCL or testicular DLBCL) Non...
