[0043] Provided herein are anti-NPMlc TCRs, including recombinant anti-NPMlc TCRs, that bind or recognize a neoantigen associated with NPMlc. Among the provided embodiments are approaches useful in the treatment of such diseases and conditions and / or for targeting cell types, such as cancer cells or cells associated with expression of NPMlc. In some embodiments, the provided anti-NPMlc TCRs and antigen-binding fragments thereof, specifically bind or recognize a neoantigen having the sequence AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) or CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO: 5). In some embodiments, the provided anti-NPMlc TCRs and antigen-binding fragments thereof, specifically bind or recognize a neoantigen having the sequence AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) or CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO: 5) in the context of an MHC molecule. In some embodiments, the provided anti-NPMlc TCRs and antigenbinding fragments thereof, specifically bind or recognize a neoantigen having the sequence: AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) or CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO: 5) in the context of an HLA- A*02:01, HLA-A*02:06, or HLA-A*02:03.

[0044] In some embodiments, the described anti -AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) anti-NPMlc TCRs specifically bind a AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) neoantigen when presented by HLA subtype A*02:01, HLA subtype A* 02: 06, or HLA subtype A* 02: 03 on a cell (e.g., a cancercell), do not specifically bind the AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) neoantigen when bound to other HLA subtypes or other non-target antigens presented by HLA subtype A*02:01, HLA subtype A* 02: 06, or HLA subtype A* 02: 03.

[0045] In some embodiments, the described anti-CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO: 5) anti- NPMlc TCRs specifically bind a CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO: 5) neoantigen when presented by HLA subtype A*02:01, HLA subtype A*02:06, or HLA subtype A*02:03 on a cell e.g., a cancer cell), do not specifically bind the CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO: 5) neoantigen when bound to other HLA subtypes or other non-target antigens presented by HLA subtype A*02:01, HLA subtype A* 02: 06, or HLA subtype A* 02: 03.

[0046] Also provided herein are nucleic acid molecules encoding the anti-NPMlc TCRs, engineered cells containing the anti-NPMlc TCRs, compositions containing the anti-NPMlc TCRs or cells, and methods of treatment or uses, such as therapeutic uses, involving administering such anti-NPMlc TCRs, engineered cells, or compositions, and uses of such anti-NPMlc TCRs, cells or compositions.

[0047] Cell therapies (including those involving the administration of cells engineered to express recombinant receptors or anti-NPMlc TCRs specific for a disease or condition of interest, such as a recombinant anti-NPMlc TCR and / or other recombinant antigen receptors), as well as other adoptive immune cell and adoptive T cell therapies can be effective in the treatment of diseases and disorders. T cells engineered to express the described anti-NPMlc TCRs (or antigen binding fragments thereof) recognize and bind to a target, e.g. , target antigen, such as peptide epitopes of AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) or CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO: 5), within the subject, for example, based on the affinity of the antigen-binding domain of the anti- NPMlc TCR to its target antigen.

[0048] In some embodiments, a T cell engineered to express a heterologous anti-NPMlc TCR, (e.g, an anti-AIQDLCLAV TCR or an anti-CLAVEEVSL TCR), is further modified to knock out the endogenous TCR. Knock out of the endogenous TCR can include knock out of expression of the endogenous TRAC gene and knock out of expression of the endogenous TRBC gene. In some embodiments, knock out of the endogenous TCR (the endogenous TRAC gene and / or the endogenous TRBC gene) can be performed using CRISPR. Knockout of the endogenous TCR includes, but is not limited to, deleting all or a port of the target gene,inserting one or more stop codons into the target gene, disrupting the target gene, or disrupting the promotor or a splicing region of the target gene. Knock out of the endogenous TCR reduces or eliminates mispairing of the heterologous anti-NPMlc TCR (a and / or P chain) with the endogenous TCR (a and / or p chain).

[0049] In some aspects, the provided anti-AIQDLCLAV TCRs or anti-CLAVEEVSL TCRs have improved affinity to the NPMlc neoantigen. In some aspects, engineered T cells expressing any of the described anti-AIQDLCLAV or anti-CLAVEEVSL TCRs have improved activity against cells (e.g., cancer cells) expressing an NPM-lc neoantigen. In some aspects, engineered T cells expressing any of the described anti-AIQDLCLAV or anti- CLAVEEVSL TCRs have improved activity against cells (e.g., cancer cells) expressing an NPM-lc neoantigen at a low effector to target (E:T) ratio.

[0050] In some aspects, therapeutic approaches using the described anti-NPMlc TCRs, for example in adoptive cell therapy with engineered human T cells expressing the described anti- NPMlc TCRs, result target and kill cancer cells expressing an NPMlc neoantigen, leading to Graft vs. Leukemia (GVL) effect.

In some aspects, engineered cells that express a provided anti-NPMlc TCR or antigen-binding fragment thereof, exhibit cytotoxic activity against target cells expressing the NPMlc neoantigen, such as NPMlc+cancer cells.

[0054] In some embodiments, the described anti-NPMlc TCRs recognize a NPMlc neoantigen (e.g, AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) or CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO: 5)) expressed by AML cancer cells.A. NPMlc

[0055] Nucleophosmin (NPM, also known as nucleolar phosphoprotein B23 or numatrin) is encoded in humans by the NPM1 gene. The NPM1 gene is up-regulated and mutated in certain tumor types, including leukemias, acute myelogenous (myeloid) leukemia (AML), and myelodysplastic syndrome. Mutations in NPM1 often consist of 4 bp insertions or duplications between nucleotides 960 and 961. They cause the replacement of the last seven amino acids (WQWRKSL) with 11 different residues and result in cytoplasmic localization of the protein (NPMlc).

[0056] NPMlc neoantigens include, but are not limited to: AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) and CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO: 5). The corresponding peptide sequence in the non-mutant NPM1 is AIQDLWQWRKSL (SEQ ID NO:2). The NPMlc neoantigens can be presented in the context of Class I MHC molecule, e.g., HLA-A*02:01, HLA-A*02:06, or HLA-A*02:03. The NPMlc neoantigen AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) or CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO: 5) is typically expressed by leukemia cells (e.g., AML cells), and is not typically expressed by nonleukemia cells.

[0057] In some aspects, the provided anti-NPMlc TCRs, or antigen-binding fragments thereof, recognize or specifically bind to an immunogenic epitope of NPMlc. In some examples, the provided anti-NPMlc TCRs, or antigen-binding fragments thereof, specifically bind to or recognize the NPMlc neoantigen AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) or CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO: 5), but do not specifically bind to the corresponding normal NPM1 peptide, AIQDLWQWRKSL (SEQ ID NO:2). In some aspects, the anti-NPMlc TCR (or antigenbinding fragments thereof) recognizes or binds an NPMlc neoantigen (e.g., AIQDLCLAV(SEQ ID NO: 1) or CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO: 5)) in the context of an MHC molecule, such as an MHC Class I molecule. In some aspects, the MHC Class I molecule is an HLA-A2 molecule, including any one or more subtypes thereof, e.g., HLA-A*02:01, *02:06, or *02:03.

[0058] In some embodiments, the anti-NPMlc TCR or soluble anti-NPMlc TCR, or antigenbinding fragment thereof, is isolated or purified. In particular embodiments, any of the provided anti-NPMlc TCRs, or antigen-binding fragments thereof, are recombinant. In some aspects, the anti-NPMlc TCR, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, is human. In some aspects, the anti- NPMlc TCR, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, is a single chain. In other embodiments, the anti-NPMlc TCR contains two chains. In some embodiments, the anti-NPMlc TCR, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, is expressed on the surface of a cell (e.g., a T cell such as a T cell designed to lack expression of endogenous TCRs). In some embodiments, a soluble anti- NPMlc TCR is secreted from a cell.

[0059] In some aspects, the provided anti-NPMlc TCRs, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, have one or more specified functional features, such as binding properties, including binding to particular epitopes, and / or particular binding affinities, for example, as described herein. In some aspects, engineered cells, such as engineered T cells, expressing the provided anti-NPMlc TCRs (or antigen-binding fragment thereof) have one or more specified functional features, such as binding properties, including binding to particular epitopes, particular binding affinities, activation or stimulation of cell signaling, such as T cell signaling or TCR signaling, secretion of cytokines, and / or killing of target cells expressing or presenting the antigen, for example, as described herein.

[0060] Provided are anti-NPMlc TCRs, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, that specifically bind an NPMlc neoantigen. A TCR is a molecule that contains an a chain comprising a Va region and a P chain comprising a VP region (also known as TCRa and TCRP, respectively) or a y chain comprising a Vy region and a 5 chain comprising a V5 region (also known as TCRy and TCRS, respectively), or antigen-binding portions thereof, which is capable of specifically binding to an antigen, e.g., a peptide antigen or peptide epitope bound to an MHC molecule. In some embodiments, the anti-NPMlc TCR is in the aP form (e.g., is an aP TCR). In some embodiments, the anti-NPMlc TCR is in the yS form (e.g, is an yS TCR). Typically, TCRs that exist in aP or yS forms are generally structurally similar, but T cells expressing them may have distinct anatomical locations or functions. A TCR can be found on the surface of a cell or in soluble form. Generally, a TCR is found on the surface of T cells where it is generally responsible for recognizing antigens, such as peptides bound to MHCmolecules.

[0061] In some embodiments, an anti-NPMlc TCR provided herein can be an intact or full- length TCR, such as a TCR containing a full length a chain and a full length P chain, or a TCR containing a full length y chain and a full length 5 chain. In some embodiments, an antigenbinding portion of a TCR provided herein can be less than a full-length TCR provided that it binds to a specific peptide bound in an MHC molecule. In some embodiments, an antigenbinding portion or fragment of a TCR can contain only a portion of the structural domains of a full-length or intact TCR, but yet is able to bind the peptide epitope, such as MHC -peptide complex, to which the full-length TCR binds. In some embodiments, an antigen-binding portion contains the variable domains of a TCR, such as a Va region and a VP region of a TCR, or a Vy region and a V5 region of a TCR provided herein provided that that antigen-binding portion is sufficient to form a binding site for binding to a specific MHC -peptide complex.

[0062] The variable domains of the TCR contain complementarity-determining regions (CDRs; CDR-1, CDR-2, and CDR-3), which contribute to antigen recognition and binding capabilities and specificity of the peptide, the MHC molecule, and / or MHC-peptide complex. In some embodiments, one or more CDRs of a TCR form all or substantially all of the antigenbinding site of a given TCR molecule. The various CDRs within a variable region of a TCR chain generally are separated by framework regions (FRs), which generally display less variability among TCRs as compared to the CDRs. CDR-3 is the main CDR responsible for antigen binding or specificity, or is the most important among the three CDRs on a given TCR variable region for antigen recognition, and / or for interaction with the processed peptide portion of the peptide-MHC complex. In some contexts, CDR-1 of the a chain interacts with the N-terminal part of certain antigenic peptides. In some contexts, CDR-1 of the P chain interacts with the C-terminal part of the peptide. In some contexts, CDR-2 contributes most strongly to or is the primary CDR responsible for the interaction with or recognition of the MHC portion of the MHC-peptide complex.

[0063] In some embodiments, the a chain and / or the P chain of a TCR, or the y chain and / or the 5 chain of a TCR, also can contain one or more of: a constant domain, a transmembrane domain and / or a short cytoplasmic tail. In some aspects, each chain (e.g., a or P) of the TCR contains one N-terminal immunoglobulin variable domain, one immunoglobulin constant domain, a transmembrane region, and a short cytoplasmic tail at the C-terminal end. In some embodiments, a TCR, for example via the cytoplasmic tail, is associated with invariant proteins of the CD3 complex involved in mediating signal transduction. In some embodiments, the structure allows the TCR to associate with other molecules like CD3 and subunits thereof. Forexample, a TCR containing constant domains with a transmembrane region may anchor the protein in the cell membrane and associate with invariant subunits of the CD3 signaling apparatus or complex. The intracellular tails of CD3 signaling subunits (e.g., CD3y, CD35, CD3s and CD3(^ chains) contain one or more immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif or IT AM and generally are involved in the signaling capacity of the TCR complex.

[0064] The various domains or regions of a TCR can be identified. In some embodiments, the exact locus of a domain or region can vary depending on the particular structural or homology modeling or other features used to describe a particular domain. It is understood that reference to amino acids, including to a specific sequence set forth as a SEQ ID NO: used to describe domain organization of a TCR are for illustrative purposes and are not meant to limit the scope of the embodiments provided. In some embodiments, the specific domain (e.g., variable or constant) can be several amino acids (such as one, two, three or four) longer or shorter. In some aspects, residues of a TCR are known or can be identified according to the INTERNATIONAL IMMUNOGENETICS INFORMATION SYSTEM® (IMGT) numbering system (Lefranc et al. (2003) Developmental and Comparative Immunology, 27(l);55-77; and The T Cell Factsbook 2nd Edition, Lefranc and LeFranc Academic Press 2001). Using this system, CDR-1 sequences within a TCR Va region and / or VP region in some cases correspond to the amino acids present between residue numbers 27-38, inclusive, CDR-2 sequences within a TCR Va region and / or VP region in some cases correspond to the amino acids present between residue numbers 56-65, inclusive, and CDR-3 sequences within a TCR Va region and / or VP region in some cases correspond to the amino acids present between residue numbers 105-117, inclusive.

[0065] In some embodiments, provided are anti-NPMlc TCRs or antigen-binding fragments thereof provided that specifically bind to or recognize the NPMlc neoantigen AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) or CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO: 5), in the context of an MHC molecule. In some embodiments, the provided anti-NPMlc TCRs or antigen-binding fragments thereof do not recognize or specifically bind to the NPM1 peptide AIQDLWQWRKSL (SEQ ID NO:2). In some embodiments, the provided anti-NPMlc TCRs or antigen-binding fragments thereof specifically recognize or bind to AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1), and do not specifically recognize or bind to a AIQDLWQWRKSL (SEQ ID NO:2).

In some embodiments, the anti-NPMlc TCR comprises a Cy domain and a C5 domain set forth in SEQ ID NO:313 and 314, respectively.

[0109] In some embodiments, the variant of a Ca domain contains replacement of at least one non-native cysteine, such as any replacement described herein. In some embodiments, the variant of a CP domain contains replacement of at least one non-native cysteine, such as any replacement described herein.

[0110] In some embodiments, any of the provided anti-NPMlc TCRs or antigen-binding fragments thereof can be a human / mouse chimeric TCR. In some embodiments, an anti- NPMlc TCR or antigen-binding fragment thereof provided herein comprises an a chain and / or a P chain, or a y chain and / or a 5 chain, comprising a mouse constant domain. In some embodiments, the Ca domain and / or the CP domain, or the Cy domain and / or the C5 domain, are a mouse Ca domain and / or a mouse CP domain, or a mouse Cy domain and / or a mouse C5 domain. In some embodiments, the Ca domain and / or the CP domain, or the Cy domain and / or the C5 domain, is or comprises any Ca domain and / or CP domain, or Cy domain and / or C5 domain described in WO2015 / 184228, WO2015 / 009604, or WO2015 / 009606.[OHl] In some embodiments, an anti-NPMlc TCR or antigen-binding fragment thereof comprises a variant of an a chain and / or a P chain, or a y chain and / or a 5 chain. In some embodiments, the variant comprises the amino acid sequence of any of the anti-NPMlc TCRs described herein with one, two, three, or four or more amino acid substitution(s) in the constant domain of the a or P chain. In some embodiments, the anti-NPMlc TCRs (or functional portions thereof) comprising the substituted amino acid sequence(s) advantageously provide one or more of decreased mispairing with an endogenous TCR chain(s), increased expression by a host cell, increased recognition of AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) or CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO: 5), and increased anti-tumor activity as compared to the parent TCR comprising an unsubstituted amino acid sequence.

[0112] In some embodiments, the anti-NPMlc TCR may be a heterodimer of the a and P chains, or the y and 5 chains that are linked, such as by a disulfide bond or disulfide bonds. In some embodiments, the constant domain of the anti-NPMlc TCR may contain short connecting sequences in which a cysteine residue forms a disulfide bond, thereby linking the two chains of the TCR. In some embodiments, an anti-NPMlc TCR may have an additional cysteine residue in each of the a and P chains, or the y and 5 chains, such that the TCR containstwo disulfide bonds in the constant domains. In some embodiments, each of the constant and variable domains contains disulfide bonds formed by cysteine residues.

[0113] In some embodiments, an anti-NPMlc TCR provided herein can contain an introduced disulfide bond or bonds. In some embodiments, the native disulfide bonds are not present. In some embodiments, the one or more of the native cysteines (e.g., in the constant domain of the a chain and the P chain, or the y chain and the 5 chain) that form a native interchain disulfide bond are substituted to another residue, such as to a serine or alanine. In some embodiments, an introduced disulfide bond can be formed by mutating non-cysteine residues on the a and P chains, such as in the constant domain of the a chain and the P chain, or the y chain and the 5 chain, to cysteine. Opposing cysteines in the TCR a and P chains, or TCR y and 5 chains provide a disulfide bond that links the constant domains of TCR a and P chains, or TCR y and 5 chains of the substituted TCR to one another and which is not present in a TCR comprising the unsubstituted constant domain in which the native disulfide bonds are present, such as unsubstituted native human constant domain or the unsubstituted native mouse constant domain. In some embodiments, the presence of non-native cysteine residues (e.g., resulting in one or more non-native disulfide bonds) in a recombinant TCR can favor production of the desired recombinant TCR in a cell in which it is introduced over expression of a mismatched TCR pair containing a native TCR chain. In some embodiments, the a or y chain and the P or 5 chain of an anti-NPMlc TCR each contains a cysteine amino acid substitution. The cysteine substitution can facilitate the formation of a disulfide bond between the a and P chains or between the y and 5 chains. The formation of the disulfide bond can facilitate pairing between the a and P chains or between the y and 5 chains, and / or decrease mispairing with an endogenous TCR chain(s). Suitable cysteine substitutions include, but are not limited to, a T47C substitution in the a constant domain (position relative to SEQ ID NO: 3) chain and a S56C substitution (positions relative to SEQ ID NO:7 or 9) in the P chain.

[0114] Exemplary non-native disulfide bonds of a TCR are described in published International PCT Patent Application Nos. W02006 / 000830 and W02006 / 037960. In some embodiments, cysteines can be introduced or substituted at a residue corresponding to Thr48 of the Ca domain (corresponding to Thr47 of SEQ ID NO:3) and Ser57 of the CP domain (corresponding to Ser56 of SEQ ID NO:7 or 9), at residue Thr45 of the Ca domain and Ser77 of the CP domain, at residue TyrlO of the Ca domain and Seri 7 of the CP domain, at residue Thr45 of the Ca domain and Asp59 of the CP domain and / or at residue Seri 5 of the Ca domain and Glut 5 of the CP domain.

[0115] In some embodiments, any of the provided cysteine mutations can be made at acorresponding position in another sequence, for example, in a human or mouse Ca domain and / or CP domain, or Cy domain and / or C5 domain, sequence described above. The term “corresponding” with reference to positions of a protein, such as recitation that amino acid positions “correspond to” amino acid positions in a disclosed sequence, such as set forth in the Sequence Listing, refers to amino acid positions identified upon alignment with the disclosed sequence based on structural sequence alignment or using a standard alignment algorithm, such as the GAP algorithm. For example, corresponding residues can be determined by alignment of a reference sequence with the Ca sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:3, or the CP sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 7 or 9, by structural alignment methods as described herein. By aligning the sequences, one can identify corresponding residues, for example, using conserved and identical amino acid residues as guides.

[0125] An “scFv” is a fusion protein comprising a variable heavy chain region (VH) and a variable light chain region (VL) of an immunoglobulin or a variable a region (Va) and a variable P region (VP) of a TCR connected with a short linker peptide. An scFv retains the antigen binding properties of the intact immunoglobulin or TCR from with the variable regions are derived.

In some embodiments, the scFv peptide linker consists of G4S (X3).

[0127] Bispecific T cell engagers (BiTEs) are recombinant molecules comprising two flexibly linked antigen binding domains, such as scFvs. In a typical BiTE, one antigen binding domain of BiTE is specific for CD3 or other activating antigen on an immune cell, and the second antigen binding domain has affinity for a second antigen, such as a tumor antigen or antigen on a target cell. BiTEs can be used to target T cells, which contain a CD3 receptor with a target cell (as described in WO99054440, W02005040220, and W02008119567). BiTEs are capable of binding T cells transiently to target cells and, at the same time, activating the cytolytic activity of the T cells.

The cell -signaling domain can be, but is not limited to, a T-cell signaling domain. When utilized in a CAR, the antigen-binding fragment of a described anti-NPMlc TCR can be provided as an scFv. The CAR can be a first generation CAR T cell, a second generation CAR T cell, a third generation CAR T cell, a fourth generation CAR T cell, dual-antigen receptor CAR T cell, or a CAR T cell having an inducible suicide gene, or a combination thereof. The CAR can have a single signaling and / or cell activation domain, multiple signaling and / or cell activation domains, or one or more signaling and / or cell activation domains and one or more co-stimulation domains. The signaling and / or cell activation domain or co-stimulation domains can be, but are not limited to, CD3zeta domain, CD28 domain, a CD 137 (4-1BB) domain, an ICOS domain, a CD27 domain, an 0X40 domain, a LFA1 domain, a PD-1 domain, a CD 150 domain, a CD244 domain, a NKG2D domain, and A DAP 10 domain.

[0131] Also provided herein are nucleic acids, such as polynucleotides or nucleic acid molecules, encoding any of the described anti-NPMlc TCRs or antigen-binding fragments thereof. The nucleic acids may include those encompassing natural and / or non-naturally occurring nucleotides and bases, e.g., including those with backbone modifications. The terms “nucleic acid molecule,” “nucleic acid,” and “polynucleotide” may be used interchangeably, and refer to a polymer of nucleotides. Such polymers of nucleotides may contain natural and / or non-natural nucleotides, and include, but are not limited to, DNA and RNA. “Nucleic acid sequence” refers to the linear sequence of nucleotides that comprise the nucleic acid molecule or polynucleotide.

[0132] In some embodiments, the nucleic acid is or contains cDNA. In some aspects, the polynucleotides can be modified for use in a construct described herein, such as for codon optimization. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid sequences can be designed to contain terminal restriction site sequences for purposes of cloning into vectors.

[0133] In some embodiments, an anti-NPMlc TCR or antigen-binding portion thereof provided herein can be synthetically generated from knowledge of the amino acid sequence of the TCR.

[0134] Described are nucleic acid sequences that encode an Va region, a VP region, a Va region and a VP region, an a chain a P chain or an a chain and a P chain. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid sequences can encode a Vy region, a V5 region, a Vy region and a V5 region, a y chain, a 5 chain, or a y chain and a 5 chain.

[0135] The nucleotide sequences can be provided as a pair of nucleotide sequences comprising a first nucleotide sequence encoding a Va region or an a chain and a second nucleotide sequence encoding a VP region or a P chain; or a first nucleotide sequence encoding a Vy region or a y chain and a second nucleotide sequence encoding a V5 region or a 5 chain. The first and second nucleotide sequences can be provided on separate expression cassettes, plasmids, or vectors (e.g., viral vectors) or on a single expression cassette, plasmid, or vector.

[0136] In some embodiments, a polynucleotide contains nucleic acid sequences encoding an Va region or a chain and a VP region or P chain (or a Vy region or y chain and a V5 region or 5 chain) wherein the nucleic acid sequence encoding the Va (or Vy) region or a (or y) chain is linked to the sequence encoding the VP (or V5) region or P (or 5) chain by a sequence encoding a peptide sequence that causes ribosome skipping or self-cleavage (e.g., a 2 A peptide, e.g., a P2A peptide, a T2A peptide, a F2A peptide, or an E2A peptide) or an (internal ribosome entry site (IRES) sequence. In some embodiments, the sequences encoding the Va and VP regionsor a and P chains (or Vy and V5 regions or y and 5 chains) are operably linked to a single promoter. In some embodiments, the sequences encoding the Va and VP regions or a and P chains (or Vy and V5 regions or y and 5 chains) are each operably linked to a single bidirectional promoter (e.g., a PGK promoter). In some embodiments, the sequence encoding the Va (or Vy) region or the a (or y) chain can be 5' of the sequence encoding the VP (or V5) region or the P (or 5) chain. In some embodiments, the sequence encoding the VP (or V5) region or the P (or 5) chain can be 5' of the sequence encoding the Va (or Vy) region or the a (or y) chain.

[0137] In some embodiments, the nucleotide sequence encoding the a or y chain and / or the nucleotide sequence encoding the P or 5 chain, or any domains, regions (e.g., Va and VP regions) or portions thereof, is codon-optimized. Typically, codon optimization involves balancing the percentages of codons selected with the published abundance of human transfer RNAs so that none is overloaded or limiting. Most amino acids are encoded by more than one codon, and codon usage varies from organism to organism. Differences in codon usage between transfected genes and host cells can have effects on protein expression and immunogenicity of a nucleic acid construct. In general, for codon optimization, codons are chosen to select for those codons that are in balance with human usage frequency. Typically, the redundancy of the codons for amino acids is such that different codons code for one amino acid. In some embodiments, in selecting a codon for replacement, it may be desired that the resulting mutation is a silent mutation such that the codon change does not affect the amino acid sequence.

[0144] In some embodiments, the a or y chain and / or P or 5 chain of the anti-NPMlc TCR is encoded by a sequence of nucleotides comprising a signal peptide (also called a leader sequence). Non-limiting examples of such a signal peptide are signal peptides that have or comprise the sequence of amino acids set forth in any of SEQ ID NOs:315-624.

[0145] In some embodiments, the nucleic acid encoding the a or y chain and the nucleic acid encoding the P or 5 chain can be connected via a linker, such as any described elsewhere herein.

[0146] In some embodiments, the nucleic acid encoding the Va or Vy region or a or y chain and the nucleic acid encoding the VP or V5 region or p or 5 chain can be connected via a cleavable linker sequence or a peptide that causes ribosome skipping or self cleavage (e.g., a 2A sequence, e.g. a T2A, E2A, F2A, or P2A), such as any described elsewhere herein. The P2A amino acid sequence can be, but is not limited to, the sequence of SEQ ID NO:301. The nucleic acid sequence encoding the P2A sequence can be, but is not limited to, the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:302, a nucleic acid sequence encoding a P2A peptide that is at least 90% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:301, or a nucleic acid sequence encoding the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:302.

[0147] In some embodiments, the nucleic acid encoding the Va or Vy region or a or y chain and the nucleic acid encoding the VP or V5 region or p or 5 chain can be connected via IRES sequence.

[0148] In some embodiments, the nucleic acid sequence encoding the a and P TCR chains connected via a cleavable linker sequence comprises: a nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:28, 46, or 64; a nucleotide sequence having at least 90% identify to the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:28, 46, or 64; a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:27, 45, or 63; or a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having at least 90% identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:27, 45, or 63.

[0149] In some embodiments, the nucleic acid sequence encoding the a and P TCR chains connected via a cleavable linker sequence comprises: a nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 82, 100, 118, 136, 154, 172, 190, 208, 226, 244, 262, 280, or 298; a nucleotide sequence having at least 90% identify to the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 82, 100, 118, 136, 154, 172, 190, 208, 226, 244, 262, 280, or 298; a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 81, 99, 117, 135, 153, 171, 189, 207, 225, 243, 261, 279, or 297; or a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having at least 90% identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 81, 99, 117, 135, 153, 171, 189, 207, 225, 243, 261, 279, or 297.

[0150] Also provided herein are vectors or constructs containing such nucleotide sequences. In some embodiments, the vectors or constructs contain one or more heterologous promoters operatively linked to the nucleotide encoding the Va or Vy region or a or y chain and / or the VP or V5 region or P or 5 chain. In some embodiments, the heterologous promoter is operatively linked to one or more than one nucleotide sequence.

[0151] In some embodiments, the vector or construct can contain a single promoter that drives the expression of one or more nucleotide sequences. In some embodiments, the promoter is a heterologous promoter. In some embodiments, such vectors or expression constructs can be multi ci str onic (e.g., bicistronic or tricistronic, see e.g., U.S. Patent No. 6,060,273). For example, in some embodiments, transcription units can be engineered as a bicistronic unit containing an IRES (internal ribosome entry site), which allows coexpression of gene products (e.g., encoding an a or y chain and / or a P or 5 chain of a TCR) by a message from a single promoter. Alternatively, in some cases, a single promoter may direct expression of an RNA that contains, in a single open reading frame (ORF), two or three genes (e.g., encoding an a or y chain and / or a P or 5 chain of a TCR) separated from one another by sequences encoding a self-cleavage peptide (e.g., a 2A peptide, e.g., a P2A peptide) or a protease recognition site (e.g., furin). An ORF can encode a single polyprotein, which, either during (in the case of 2 A e.g., P2A) or after translation, is cleaved into the individual proteins. In some embodiments, the peptide, such as P2A, can cause the ribosome to skip (ribosome skipping) synthesis of apeptide bond at the C-terminus of a 2A element, leading to separation between the end of the 2A sequence and the next peptide downstream (see, for example, de Felipe. Genetic Vaccines and Ther. 2: 13 (2004) and deFelipe et al. Traffic 5:616-626 (2004)). Examples of 2A cleavage peptides, including those that can induce ribosome skipping, include Thosea asigna virus (T2A), porcine teschovirus-1 (P2A, e.g., SEQ ID NO:301), equine rhinitis A virus (E2A), and 2A sequences from the foot-and-mouth disease virus (F2A) as described in U.S. Patent Publication No. 2007 / 0116690. In some embodiments, the peptide that causes ribosome skipping is a P2A peptide and / or contains the sequence of amino acids set forth in SEQ ID NO:301.

[0152] In a bicistronic vector, a nucleic acid sequence encoding the Va or Vy region or a or y chain and a nucleotide sequence encoding the VP or V5 region or p or 5 chain can be present in any order and are separated by a nucleotide sequence encoding a peptide sequence that causes ribosome skipping. For example, in some embodiments, the nucleotide sequence comprises, in order, a nucleic acid sequence encoding a P or 5 chain, a nucleic acid sequence encoding a peptide sequence that causes ribosome skipping (e.g., a P2A sequence as described herein), and a nucleic acid sequence that encodes an a or y chain. In other embodiments, the nucleotide sequence contains, in order, a nucleic acid sequence that encodes an a or y chain, a nucleic acid sequence that encodes a peptide sequence that causes ribosome skipping (e.g., a P2A sequence as described herein), and a nucleic acid sequence that encodes a P or 5 chain.

[0153] In some embodiments, the nucleotide sequence encoding an Va or Vy region or a or y chain and / or the nucleotide sequence encoding a VP or V5 region or P or 5 chain of a TCR comprises one or more nucleic acid sequences corresponding to SEQ ID NOs: set forth in Table 3 for TCRs A-P. Also, among the provided nucleotide sequences encoding a TCR are those containing sequences at least or about 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% identical to such sequences. In some aspects, the nucleotide sequences contain sequences encoding a signal sequence, and the encoded exemplary anti-NPMlc TCRs, when expressed as a mature protein, comprise the mature Va and / or mature VP region, or the mature Vy and / or V5 mature region, for example, without the signal sequence (e.g., from cleavage of the signal sequence) when fully processed and expressed.Table 3: SEQ ID NOs. of Nucleotide Sequences of AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) Specific TCRs.

[0154] Also provided herein are vectors, such as those containing any of the nucleic acids described herein. In some embodiments, nucleic acid or nucleic acids encoding one or both chains of a TCR, are cloned or assembled into a suitable expression vector or vectors. The expression vector can be any suitable recombinant expression vector, and can be used to transform or transfect any suitable host. Suitable vectors include those designed for propagation and expansion or for expression or both, such as plasmids and viruses. In some embodiments, the vector is an expression vector.III. METHODS FOR ISOLATING, ASSESSING, AND IDENTIFYING T CELL RECEPTORS

[0155] In some aspects, provided herein are methods for isolating a plurality of nucleic acid sequences encoding the TCRs specific for AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) or CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO: 5). In some aspects, AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: l)-specific or CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO: 5)-specific TCRs are identified based on the methods described herein. In some aspects, the methods also include isolating nucleic acid sequences, assembling the nucleic acidsequences into vectors, assessing the expression and / or activity of the TCRs, and screening and identifying particular TCRs of interest, in some cases, using a high-throughput method.

[0156] The methods described herein also relate to determining the binding activity and functional capacity of candidate TCRs.A. TCR Donor criteria and methods for isolating NPMlc specific T cell candidates

[0157] In some embodiments, whole exome sequencing is used to type donors for their HLA repertoire and or haplotype. In some embodiments, the donor subject has cancer. In some embodiments, the donor subject has cancer of a type that is to be treated with the engineered T cells. In some embodiments, the donor is a healthy donor. In some embodiments, those subjects with an appropriate HLA type are selected for blood collection. Anti-AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) reactive T cells from the donor subject(s) can be identified on the basis of their binding an HLA-multimer folded with the neoantigen AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) peptide. These cells are single cell sorted and their TCRs are screened for anti -AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) reactivity. In some embodiments, the donor is HLA-A*02:01+, HLA-A*02:06+, or HLA- A*02:03+. Anti-CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO: 5) reactive T cells from the donor subject(s) can be identified on the basis of their binding an HLA-multimer folded with the neoantigen CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO: 5) peptide. These cells are single cell sorted and their TCRs are screened for anti -CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO: 5) reactivity. In some embodiments, the donor is HLA-A*02:01+, HLA-A*02:06+, or HLA-A*02:03+. Reactive T cells can also be identified by proliferation or expansion, cytokine expression, upregulation of activation / signaling proteins, upregulation or downregulation of other proteins metabolites or other cellular constituents, changes in cell shape or granularity, or other means available in the art.B. High-Throughput Isolation, Amplification and Assembly of Nucleic AcidSequences Encoding TCRs

[0158] In some aspects, nucleic acid molecules encoding a TCR can be obtained or identified from a variety of sources. In some aspects, TCRs can be obtained or identified using a high- throughput TCR isolation and screening method. Examples of such methods that can be used include those described in, for example, WO2018 / 102473, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. In some aspects, the high-throughput TCR isolation and screening methods involve the amplification of nucleic acids encoding TCR a and / or P chains, or TCR y and / or 5 chains, from a plurality of different cells, such as T cells, isolated from a donor. Also provided herein are such methods related to isolating or screening a plurality of different TCRs to obtain TCRs that are specific for an NPMlc neoantigen, such as AIQDLCLAV (SEQ IDNO: 1) or CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO: 5).

[0159] In some embodiments, nucleic acid molecules encoding a TCR can be obtained from a variety of sources, such as by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of encoding nucleic acids within or isolated from a given cell or cells. In some embodiments, a TCR is obtained from a biological source, such as T cells (e.g., cytotoxic T cells), T cell hybridomas, or other publicly available sources. In some embodiments, a TCR may be derived from one of various animal species, such as a human, mouse, rat, or other mammal. In some embodiments, the T cells can be obtained from in vivo isolated cells, such as from normal (or healthy) subjects or diseased subjects, including T cells present in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) or tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). In some embodiments, the T cells can be a cultured T cell hybridoma or clone. For example, in some embodiments, to generate a vector encoding a TCR, the a and P chains can be PCR amplified from total cDNA isolated from a T cell clone expressing the TCR of interest and cloned into an expression vector. In some embodiments, the a and P chains can be synthetically generated. In some embodiments, the a and P chains are cloned into the same vector.

[0160] As described herein, the methods and materials provided herein can allow users to capture successfully most, if not all, functional TCRs from a sorted T cell population. For example, an amplification (e.g., nested amplification procedure such as a nested PCR) procedure can include using primer collections designed to amplify every known functional V segment, or nearly every (>90%, >95%, >96%, >97%, or >98%) known V segment of the two variable chains of a particular TCR (e.g., any of the known functional V segments of the a variable and P variable chains of a particular aP TCR or any of the known functional V segments of the y variable and 5 variable chains of a particular y5 TCR) of a mammal (e.g., a human). For humans, an amplification procedure can include a primer collection designed to amplify all or nearly all (>90%, >95%, >96%, >97%, or >98%) 45 V segments of the a chain currently known to be functional and all or nearly all (>90%, >95%, >96%, >97%, or >98%) 48 V segments of the P chain currently known to be functional. When referring to TCR V segments of the a chain herein, the shorthand abbreviation TRAV can be used. Likewise, when referring to TCR V segments of the P chain herein, the shorthand abbreviation TRBV can be used. The same is true for TCR V segments of the y and 5 chains, which can be referred to as TRGV and TRDV, respectively.

[0161] In some aspects, this document provides methods and materials involved in cloning functional TCRs from single T cells. For example, in some aspects, this document provides methods and materials for obtaining nucleic acid encoding a TCR from a single T cell andarranging that nucleic acid to form nucleic acid vectors successfully designed to express a TCR (e.g., a fully intact TCR such as a fully intact TCR having the variable chain combination as present in that single T cell), kits for obtaining nucleic acid encoding a TCR from a single T cell and arranging that nucleic acid to form nucleic acid vectors successfully designed to express a TCR (e.g., a fully intact TCR such as a fully intact TCR having the variable chain combination as present in that single T cell), and methods for making such kits. A cloned aP TCR having the variable chain combination as present in a single T cell used to clone that TCR can include the VJ a segment combination as present in that single T cell, the VDJ p segment combination as present in that single T cell, the nucleotide sequence of the entire a variable region as present in that single T cell, and the nucleotide sequence of the entire P variable region as present in that single T cell. Likewise, a cloned y5 TCR having the variable chain combination as present in a single T cell used to clone that TCR can include the VJ y segment combination as present in that single T cell, the VDJ 5 segment combination as present in that single T cell, the nucleotide sequence of the entire y variable region as present in that single T cell, and the nucleotide sequence of the entire 5 variable region as present in that single T cell.

[0162] In some aspects, this document provides collections of nucleic acid primers designed to amplify the entire coding sequence of both variable regions (e.g., the a variable region and P variable region, or the y variable region and 5 variable region) for each expressed V segment (e.g., each expressed a V segment and P V segment, or each expressed y V segment and 5 V segment) for functional aP or y5 TCRs of a particular mammalian species (e.g., a mouse or a human), methods for using such collections of nucleic acid primers to clone functional TCRs from single T cells, and kits containing such collections of nucleic acid primers to clone functional TCRs from single T cells.

[0163] In some aspects, the methods and materials provided herein can allow one to perform highly multiplexed reactions to clone many different TCRs (e.g., hundreds to thousands or more different TCRs) directly from single T cells quickly (e.g., simultaneously in some cases) and in a manner that misses few, if any, a / p variable chain combinations (or y / 5 variable chain combinations). For example, the methods and materials provided herein can be performed to clone many different aP TCRs (e.g., hundreds to thousands or more different aP TCRs) directly from single aP T cells in a manner that misses less than 10 percent (e.g., less than 9 percent, less than 8 percent, less than 7 percent, less than 6 percent, less than 5 percent, less than 4 percent, less than 3 percent, less than 2 percent, or less than 1 percent) of the a variable chains and less than 10 percent (e.g., less than 9 percent, less than 8 percent, less than 7 percent, less than 6 percent, less than 5 percent, less than 4 percent, less than 3 percent, less than 2 percent,or less than 1 percent) of the P variable chains possible for a / p variable chain combinations of a species (e.g., mice or human species). Likewise, the methods and materials provided herein can be performed to clone many different y5 TCRs (e.g., hundreds to thousands or more different y5 TCRs) directly from single y5 T cells in a manner that misses less than 10 percent (e.g., less than 9 percent, less than 8 percent, less than 7 percent, less than 6 percent, less than 5 percent, less than 4 percent, less than 3 percent, less than 2 percent, or less than 1 percent) of the y variable chains and less than 10 percent (e.g., less than 9 percent, less than 8 percent, less than 7 percent, less than 6 percent, less than 5 percent, less than 4 percent, less than 3 percent, less than 2 percent, or less than 1 percent) of the 5 variable chains possible for y / 5 variable chain combinations of a species (e.g., mice or human species). In some embodiments, the methods and materials provided herein can include (a) obtaining a sample of T cells, (b) sorting those T cells into isolated locations (e.g., wells) such that most, if not all, isolated locations (e.g., each well) contain a single T cell, (c) lysing (e.g., simultaneously lysing) the single T cells located in separate isolated locations (e.g., separate wells) to release the RNA of each single T cell, (d) performing (e.g., simultaneously performing) reverse transcription using the released RNA as template, appropriate primers for cDNA synthesis from RNA, and a reverse transcriptase enzyme to produce cDNA within each isolated location (e.g., each well); that cDNA representing the RNA expressed by the single T cell that was located in that isolated location (e.g., well), (e) performing (e.g., simultaneously performing), for each isolated location, a first round amplification reaction (e.g., a first round polymerase chain reaction (PCR)) of an amplification procedure (e.g., such as a nested amplification procedure such as a nested PCR) using the produced cDNA as template, a first round primer collection (e.g., a first round PCR primer collection), and a polymerase (e.g., Taq polymerase) to produce at least an amplification product containing a nucleic acid sequence of the a variable chain (or y variable chain) of the TCR of the single T cell of that isolated location and an amplification product containing a nucleic acid sequence of the P variable chain (or 5 variable chain) of the TCR of that same single T cell of that same isolated location, (f) performing (e.g., simultaneously performing), for each isolated location, a second round amplification reaction (e.g., a second round PCR) of a nested amplification procedure (e.g., a nested PCR procedure) using the amplification products of the first round amplification reaction as template, a second round primer collection (e.g., a second round PCR primer collection), and a polymerase (e.g., Taq polymerase) to produce at least a first amplification product containing a nucleic acid sequence of the a variable chain (or y variable chain) of the TCR of the single T cell of that isolated location and a second amplification product containing a nucleic acid sequence of the P variablechain (or 5 variable chain) of the TCR of that same single T cell of that same isolated location, and (g) cloning, for each isolated location, the first and second amplification products into an expression vector designed to express a functional TCR having the a / p or y / 5 variable chain combination (or a portion thereof such as the V segments of the a / p or y / 5 variable chain combination) as was present in the single T cell used to generate the amplification products.

[0164] The resulting expression vectors can be introduced into cells such that those cells express the cloned TCRs. Such cells and / or the TCRs they express from the introduced expression vectors can be screened to identify TCRs with desired capabilities. For example, cells expressing cloned TCRs that recognize particular antigens (e.g., NPMlc neoantigen) can be identified, and those cells, the TCR expression vectors they contain, or the cloned TCR constructs can be used for further analysis or for therapeutic applications.

[0165] In some embodiments, expression of cloned TCRs on the surface and expression of functional TCRs can be assessed by introducing the expression vectors into TCR-negative reporter cells designed to express a measurable marker signal or marker polypeptide once the signaling apparatus of a functional TCR is engaged. In these cases, an antibody designed to non-specifically activate TCRs (e.g. , an anti-CD3 antibody) can be used to screen for functional TCRs. In some embodiments, the cloned TCRs can be screened for antigen specificity. For example, reporter cells expressing cloned TCRs can be screened for the recognition of particular antigens (e.g., peptides derived from tumor polypeptides). In some embodiments, primary T cells (e.g., human primary T cells) can be transfected with expression vectors and screened for antigen specificity via T cell proliferation assays.

[0166] For example, in some cases, the methods and materials provided herein can include a nested amplification procedure (e.g., a nested PCR procedure) that includes primer collections designed to amplify every known functional V segment of the two variable chains of a particular TCR (e.g., any of the known functional V segments of the a variable and P variable chains of a particular aP TCR or any of the known functional V segments of the y variable and 5 variable chains of a particular y5 TCR) of a mammal (e.g., a human).

[0167] In some embodiments, T cells can be stimulated (e.g., in vitro stimulated) prior to sorting, and then RNA expression can be assessed (via, e.g., qPCR) to determine which T cells responded to the stimulation. Any appropriate type of stimulation can be used including, without limitation, non-specific stimulation such as stimulation with concanavalin A, phytohemagglutinin-P, phorbol esters plus ionomycin, phorbol myristate acetate plus calcium ionophores, or antibodies having the ability to cross link TCRs (e.g., anti-CD3 antibodies plus anti-CD28 antibodies, or anti-TCR P antibodies) or antigen-specific stimulation such asstimulation with one or more particular antigens as described elsewhere (Downward et al., Nature, 346:719-23 (1990); and Dasgupta et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Set. USA, 84: 1094-8 (1987)). In some embodiments, cytokine expression levels such as TNF-a, IFN-y, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, IL-13, or IL-17 expression levels can be determined and compared to nonstimulated populations. Once single T cells are sorted, the methods provided herein can be used to determine which T cells were making particular cytokines in response to the stimulation (e.g., in response to a peptide antigen used to stimulate the T cells). In these cases, antigen specific T cells can be determined without laborious methods of expanding reactive T cells or the destructive methods of paraformaldehyde fixation and intracellular cytokine staining, which can reduce the ability to clone TCRs effectively. In such cases, particular TCRs generated from active and antigen specific T cells, as opposed to inactive bystander T cells, can be quickly identified.

[0168] In some embodiments, cytokine expression levels such as TNF-a, IFN-y, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, IL-13, or IL-17 expression levels can be determined for the single T cells used to clone functional TCRs, thereby allowing a particular TCR to be identified based on the particular phenotype (e.g., elevated IFN-y expression) of the T cell that provided the variable chains (or portions thereof) of that particular TCR. In such cases, particular TCRs generated from active, as opposed to inactive, T cells can be quickly identified. In some embodiments, particular TCRs generated from inactive, as opposed to active, T cells can be quickly identified.

[0169] In some embodiments, TCRs can be obtained using T cells refractory to stimulation, and the specificity of the cloned TCR can be tested or screened in cells where canonical TCR signaling is not repressed.

[0170] In some embodiments, an MHC -peptide complex (or an HLA-peptide complex) can be used to identify cloned TCRs that recognize such a complex. In these cases, it is possible that clonal exclusion during an immune response and / or a lack of antigen priming may result in TCRs with this specificity not being present in the activated and / or expanded TCR pool. In such cases, the methods and materials provided herein, which in some cases only requires a single T cell to be present, can be used to clone a naive or inactivated TCR that recognizes such a complex. In some embodiments, pools of naive T cells can be stained with MHC-peptide tetramers (or HLA-peptide tetramers), and any MHC-peptide (or HLA-peptide) responsive TCRs among the naive T cells can be used to clone those TCRs using the methods and materials provided herein.

[0171] In some aspects, the methods provided herein include methods for obtaining a plurality of nucleic acid vectors containing nucleic acid encoding functional T cell receptors.The method comprises, or consists essentially of, (a) obtaining a device comprising a plurality of separate locations, wherein each of the separate locations contains cDNA generated from RNA obtained from a single T cell that was sorted into the separate locations, (b) performing a nested amplification procedure using the cDNA of each of the plurality of separate locations as template to obtain a first amplification product and a second amplification product for the cDNA of each of the plurality of separate locations, wherein the first amplification product comprises nucleic acid encoding a Va or Vy segment, and wherein the second amplification product comprises nucleic acid encoding a VP or V5 segment, and (c) assembling the first amplification product and the second amplification product for the cDNA of each of the plurality of separate locations into a nucleic acid vector to obtain an assembled nucleic acid vector for the cDNA of each of the plurality of separate locations, wherein the assembled nucleic acid vectors for the cDNA of each of the plurality of separate locations comprises nucleic acid encoding a functional T cell receptor.

The functional T cell receptor of each of the assembled nucleic acid vectors can comprise a Va / VP combination or Vy / V5 combination as present in the single T cell originating the RNA. The functional T cell receptor of each of the assembled nucleic acid vectors can comprise (a) a full- length a variable region and a full-length p variable region or (b) a full-length y variable region and a full-length 5 variable region. The functional T cell receptor of each of the assembled nucleic acid vectors can comprise (a) a full-length a variable region and a full-length p variable region as present in the single T cell originating the RNA or (b) a full-length y variable region and a full-length 5 variable region as present in the single T cell originating the RNA. The functional T cell receptor of each of the assembled nucleic acid vectors can comprise (a) a full- length a constant region and a full-length P constant region or (b) a full-length y constant region and a full-length 5 constant region. Each of the assembled nucleic acid vectors can comprise a nucleic acid sequence encoding a self-cleaving peptide or an internal ribosome entry site (IRES).

[0172] Exemplary assays can be used to assess the activity, expression and / or function of the anti-NPMlc TCRs and antigen-binding fragments described herein. The assays described herein, which are not to be construed as limiting, may be used to assess the functional capacity of candidate NPMlc-specific TCRs.

[0173] Functional characterization of anti-NPMlc TCRs can be performed by binding assays utilizing fluorescent labeled MHC molecules carrying specific target peptides (tetramer / pentamer / dextramer), or activation assays by co-culturing anti-NPMlc TCR expressing cells with antigen presenting cells (APCs) presenting the corresponding MHC / peptide complexes.

[0174] A cytokine release assay can evaluate the ability of a candidate anti-NPMlc TCR to produce the cytokines (e.g., IL-2, TNFa, and / or IFN-y) or other T cell activation markers (e.g.,CD69) following exposure to cells presenting the target antigen. T cells are incubated with K562 cells (e.g., AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: l)(neg) / HLA-A*:02:01(pos)) loaded with the target AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) peptide. As a control, K562 cells are loaded with the non-target peptide or an irrelevant peptide control. IL-2 and / or IFN-y responses of the T cells are followed by intracellular cytokine staining and analysis by FACS.

[0175] A T cell activation / degranulation marker assay can be used evaluate the ability of candidate anti-NPMlc TCRs to express the surface marker CD107a following exposure to cells presenting the target antigen. CD 107a is a marker of T cell degranulation, which is part of the cell killing response. T cells are incubated with K562 cells loaded with the target AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) or CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO: 5) peptide, or a control peptide. Degranulation responses are followed on the T cells by CD107a surface staining and analysis by FACS.

[0176] A killing assay can evaluate the ability of candidate anti-NPMlc TCRs to lyse cells presenting the target antigen. T cells are incubated with a mixture of fluorescent-tag labeled K562 cells differentially loaded with target and control peptides to allow on-target and off- target cytotoxicity to be examined within a single test sample. Fluorescent cell counting beads are included as a normalization / count control. Fluorescently tagged K562 cells are loaded with the target AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) or CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO: 5) peptide. As a control, K562 cells labeled with a different fluorescent-tag are loaded with the non-target peptide control. Gated cell counts of AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) or CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO: 5) peptide loaded K562 cells and control peptide loaded K562 cells remaining after incubation with T cells are followed by FACS.

[0177] The CD34 marker may be used as a surrogate potency measurement. See Philip et al. (2014) / c 124(8): 1277-1287. Detection of CD34, a marker of transduction efficiency, may correlate with the functional potency measurements described herein.

[0178] In some aspects, expanded and unexpanded screens are performed using the exact same donor for a direct comparison of methods. With certain methods, expansion may be performed. A method that yields candidate anti-NPMlc TCRs without expansion processes can be advantageous in some contexts in view of the time sensitivity of screening for anti- NPMlc TCRs with desired specificity. Reduced sample processing may also offer advantages in different contexts.IV. ENGINEERED CELLS

Preparation of cells for genetic engineering

[0186] In some embodiments, preparation of the engineered cells includes one or more culture and / or preparation steps. The cells for introduction of the anti-NPMlc TCR may be isolated from a sample, such as a biological sample, e.g., one obtained from or derived from a subject. In some embodiments, the subject from which the cell is isolated (donor) is one having the disease or condition or in need of a cell therapy or to which cell therapy will be administered (i.e., autologous T cells). In some embodiments, the donor is a healthy donor. The subject in some embodiments is a human in need of a particular therapeutic intervention, such as the adoptive cell therapy for which cells are being isolated, processed, and / or engineered.

[0187] The samples include tissue, fluid, and other samples taken directly from the subject, as well as samples resulting from one or more processing steps, such as separation, centrifugation, genetic engineering (e.g., transduction with viral vector), washing, and / or incubation. The biological sample can be a sample obtained directly from a biological source or a sample that is processed. Biological samples include, but are not limited to, biopsy, tissue sample, body fluids, such as blood, plasma, serum, cerebrospinal fluid, synovial fluid, urine and sweat, tissue and organ samples, including processed samples derived therefrom.

[0190] Also provided herein are methods, nucleic acids, compositions, and kits for expressing an anti-NPMlc TCR or antigen-binding fragment thereof provided herein, and for producing the genetically engineered cells expressing such anti-NPMlc TCR or antigenbinding fragment thereof. The genetic engineering generally involves introduction of a nucleic acid encoding the anti-NPMlc TCR (or antigen-binding fragment thereof) into the cell, suchas by retroviral transduction, nanoparticle delivery, transfection, or transformation.

[0191] In some embodiments, gene transfer is accomplished by first stimulating the cell, such as by combining it with a stimulus that induces a response such as proliferation, survival, and / or activation — e.g., as measured by expression of a cytokine or activation marker — followed by transduction of the activated cells, and expansion in culture to numbers sufficient for clinical applications.

[0192] Various methods for the introduction of genetically engineered components are well known and may be used with the provided methods and compositions. Exemplary methods include those for transfer of nucleic acids encoding an anti-NPMlc TCR or antigen-binding fragment thereof provided herein, including via viral, e.g., retroviral or lentiviral, transduction, transposons, electroporation, and nucleofection.

[0193] In some embodiments, recombinant nucleic acids are transferred into cells using recombinant infectious virus particles. In some embodiments, recombinant nucleic acids are transferred into T cells using recombinant lentiviral vectors or retroviral vectors, such as y- retroviral vectors.

[0194] In some embodiments, the retroviral vector has a long terminal repeat sequence (LTR), e.g., a retroviral vector derived from the Moloney murine leukemia virus (MoMLV), myeloproliferative sarcoma virus (MPSV), murine embryonic stem cell virus (MESV), murine stem cell virus (MSCV), or spleen focus forming virus (SFFV). Most retroviral vectors are derived from murine retroviruses. In some embodiments, the retroviruses include those derived from any avian or mammalian cell source. The retroviruses typically are amphotropic, meaning that they are capable of infecting host cells of several species, including humans. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid to be expressed replaces the retroviral gag, pol and / or env sequences. A number of illustrative retroviral systems have been described elsewhere (see, e.g. , U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,219,740; 6,207,453; 5,219,740; Miller and Rosman (1989) BioTechniques 7:980-990; Miller, A. D. (1990) Human Gene Therapy 1 :5-14; Scarpa et al. (1991) Virology 180:849-852; Bums et al. (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:8033-8037; and Boris-Lawrie and Temin (1993) Cur. Opin. Genet. Develop. 3: 102-109).

[0196] In some embodiments, recombinant nucleic acids are transferred into T cells via electroporation or nucleofection (see, e.g, Chicaybam et al, (2013) PLoS ONE 8(3): e60298and Van Tedeloo et al. (2000) Gene Therapy 7(16): 1431-1437). In some embodiments, recombinant nucleic acids are transferred into T cells via transposition (see, e.g., Manuri et al. (2010) Hum Gene Ther 21(4): 427-437; Sharma et al. (2013) Molec Ther Nucl Acids 2, e74; and Huang et al. (2009) Methods Mol Biol 506: 115-126). Other methods of introducing and expressing nucleic acid provided herein in immune cells include calcium phosphate transfection (e.g., as described in Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley & Sons, New York. N.Y.), protoplast fusion, cationic liposome-mediated transfection, tungsten particle-facilitated microparticle bombardment (Johnston, Nature, 346: 776-777 (1990)), and strontium phosphate DNA co-precipitation (Brash et al., Mol. Cell Biol., 7: 2031-2034 (1987)).

See, e.g., International Patent Application Publication No. WO2014 / 055668 and U.S. Patent No. 7,446,190.

[0198] In some embodiments, one or more additional nucleic acids can be introduced into a cell concurrently with or sequentially with nucleic acid encoding an anti-NPMlc TCR or antigen-binding fragment thereof provided herein. In some embodiments, such an additional nucleic acid for introduction can be those that improve the efficacy of therapy, such as by promoting viability and / or function of transferred cells; those that provide a genetic marker for selection and / or evaluation of the cells, such as to assess in vivo survival or localization; and / or those that improve safety, for example, by making the cell susceptible to negative selection in vivo as described (Lupton SD et al., Mol. and Cell Biol., 11 :6 (1991); Riddell et al., Human Gene Therapy 3:319-338 (1992)); PCT / US91 / 08442 and PCT / US94 / 05601 describing the use of bifunctional selectable fusion genes derived from fusing a dominant positive selectable marker with a negative selectable marker; and US Patent No. 6,040,177).

[0253] The following examples are included for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. CDR3PExample 1. Exemplary Identified TCRs.

[0254] Table 4 lists the sequence identifiers (SEQ ID NOs) for amino acid (aa) or nucleotide (nt) sequences for AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO:1) and CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO:5) specific TCRs (i.e., anti-AIQDLCLAV TCRs and anti-CLAVEEVSL TCRs) that were isolated, assessed, and sequenced. The table also lists the sequence identifier (SEQ ID NOs)corresponding to an exemplary full-length, including the constant domains, amino acid sequence containing the a and P chain sequences of each respective TCR, separated by a sequence encoding a ribosome-skip P2A sequence (P2A linker set forth in SEQ ID NO: 301 encoded by the nucleotides set forth in SEQ ID NO:302) (designated “a-P2A-P”).Table 4: Amino Acid and Nucleotide Sequences (SEQ ID NOs) of AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: l)-Specific TCRsExample 2. Characterization of Exemplary AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) Specific TCRs.

[0255] As described herein, AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) and / or CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO:5) is expressed on cancerous cells (e.g., AML cells) but is not expressed on non-cancerous cells. For this reason, T cells targeting AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) or CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO: 5) are unlikely to cause GVHD.Example 3. Binding Specificity of Exemplary NPM1 Specific TCR

[0256] Binding specificity of the AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) and CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO: 5) specific TCRs was determined using tetramers complexed with AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1), CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO:5), or control peptides.

[0257] HEK293 suspension cells were engineered to express human CD3y, CD35, CD3s, CD3(^ (polyCD3) and human CD8 a / p. CD3 and CD8 are cloned from pooled PBMCs from two healthy blood donors and stably transduced into HEK293. Suspension HEK293-CD3-CD8 cells were transiently transfected with plasmid DNA containing an anti-AIQDLCLAV TCR or an anti-CLAVEEVSL TCR and the fluorescent protein mCherry, as a transfection efficiency control.

[0258] Twenty-four hours after transfection, cells were stained with an amine-reactive viability dye (violet 510 Ghost dye), anti-CD3 and the immunogenic AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) or CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO:5) peptide tetramer or control peptide tetramer. Cells were acquired and analyzed by flow cytometry.

[0259] Double positive fluorescence of CD3 and specific binding of HLA-tetramers complexed with the AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) or CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO: 5) peptide indicate a functional reactive TCR.Example 4. In vitro Evaluation of Engineered T Cell Reactivity to AIQDLCLA V (SEQ ID NO:1).

[0260] TCRs isolated and identified as described in Examples 1-3 above were recombinantly expressed in a Jurkat cell line engineered to stably express CD8, and further characterized and assessed for function, including ECso determination. Cytokine secretion, T cell activation and binding specificity can also be determined for each of the TCRs.

[0261] For an exemplary AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1)- or CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID Nonspecific TCR, Jurkat T cells expressing the anti-AIQDLCLAV TCR or anti-CLAVEEVSL TCR were co-cultured with K562cells pulsed with AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) or CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO:5) peptide or a control peptide. Equal numbers of Jurkat T cells and K562cells loaded with increasing concentrations (e.g., 0.1-31.6 ng / ml) of either AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) or CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO:5) peptide or control peptide were co-cultured for 16 hours. Jurkat CD69 expression was determined by FACS.A. Assessment of Early Activation Marker CD69

[0262] Expression of CD69, a marker of T cell activation and function, was assessed following co-culture of Jurkat T cells expressing an anti-AIQDLCLAV TCR or anti- CLAVEEVSL TCR with APCs loaded with AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) or CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO:5) peptides.

[0263] Jurkat T cells expressing various anti-AIQDLCLAV TCRs or anti-CLAVEEVSL TCR s are prepared as described. Jurkat cells transduced with anti-AIQDLCLAV TCRs or anti-CLAVEEVSL TCRs were incubated overnight with A*02:01 LCLs at a 1: 1 E / T ratio in the presence of increasing concentrations of AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) or CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO:5) peptide. The EC50 values were calculated based on XLFit (ID Business Solutions) on plots of the percentage of CD69+cells (y-axis) vs. peptide concentration (logarithmic x-axis).

[0264] For an exemplary TCR, the anti-AIQDLCLAV TCR- or anti -CLAVEEVSL TCR- expressing T cells were co-cultured in duplicate at a 1 : 1 effector-to-target ratio with peptide- loaded K562 cells. After 16-24 hours of culture, cells were washed and stained with Ghost Dye, anti-CD3 and anti-CD69 and assessed by flow cytometry. Data were analyzed by XLFit. The estimated EC50 of each of the five experimental runs was determined by assessing the ratio of CD69 positive Jurkat cells to total live cells.B. Assessment of T Cell Receptor Specificity

[0265] Specificity of the candidate anti-AIQDLCLAV or anti-CLAVEEVSL TCRs for the AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) or CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO: 5) peptides versus corresponding wild type NPM1 peptide presented by the restricting HLA, or potentially other HLA molecules, or other HLA molecules presenting other peptides, is also assessed.2. Alloreactivity

[0266] Alloreactivity was tested utilizing HLA-A*02:01 tetramers loaded with irrelevant peptides (such as HPV peptides)Example 5. Target Cell Killing by Primary T Cells Transduced with AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO:l)-Specific TCRs.

[0267] To determine the potential for inducing a graft-versus-leukemia (GvL) effect, the antileukemia target cell killing activity of primary T cells transduced with an anti-AIQDLCLAV TCR or anti-CLAVEEVSL TCRs was assessed.A. Expression of AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1)-Specific or CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO:5)-Specific TCRs in Primary Cells

[0268] Primary human CD8+T cells were enriched from PBMCs by negative selection. The endogenous TCR of the CD8+T cells was knocked out via CRISPR. The CD8+T cells were then transduced with a lentivirus vector (pLVG.M containing an MNDU3 promoter) encoding an anti-AIQDLCLAV TCR or anti-CLAVEEVSL TCR and a RQR8 tag. The percentage of the transduced T cells was evaluated the by expression of RQR8, using an anti-CD34 antibody, by flowcytometry at day 5 post-transduction.B. Target Cell Killing

[0269] The target cell killing specificity of anti-AIQDLCLAV TCRs or anti-CLAVEEVSL TCRs was assessed. An HLA-A*02:01+ / AIQDLCLAV+(SEQ ID NO: 1) 0CI-AML2 cells or an HLA-A*02:01+ / CLAVEEVSL+(SEQ ID NO:5) OCI-AML2 cells were used as an APC. The OCI-AML2 cells were stained with Violet Proliferation Dye 450 (VPD450). VPD450 labels target cells by binding of the dye to intracellular protein, and indicates T cell-mediated target cell killing. Apoptosis of labeled cells results in the loss of their detection in the live cell gate in flow cytometry. Primary human T cells expressing an anti-AIQDLCLAV TCR or anti- CLAVEEVSL TCR were co-cultured with the LCLs for 18 hours starting at an E:T ratio (transduced CD34+positive cells) serial dilution starting at 10: 1 and ending at 0: 1. Cells were stained with 7-AAD (to evaluate the cell viability), acquired, and assessed by flow cytometry.Example 6. Target Cell Killing Activity

[0270] The target cell killing activity of an exemplary TCR was further assessed at different effectortarget (E:T) ratios.

[0271] 0CI-AML3 cells were genotyped for the AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) and / or CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO:5) expression. In order to distinguish cell populations, 0CI-AML3 cells presenting the AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) and / or CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO:5) peptide were labeled with a high concentration of VPD450 (0.5 pM), while 0CI-AML2 cells presenting the corresponding wild-type NPM1 peptide were labeled with a low concentration (0.025 pM) of VPD450. 0CI-AML2 cells and 0CI-AML3 cells were stained with VPD450 for 15 minutes at 37°C. Target (AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) or CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO: 5)) and control peptide-bearing OCI-AML2 cells and OCI-AML3 cells were mixed together in a 1 : 1 ratio prior to incubation with increasing numbers of transduced primary T cells expressing an AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: l)-specific or CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO:5)-specific TCR. Additionally, target 0CI-AML2 or 0CI-AML3 cells were stained and incubated individually at a 1 : 1 ratio with TCR-Ts. Subsequent E:T ratio EC50 kill curves could be determined.

[0272] 0CI-AML2 cells and 0CI-AML3 cells were co-cultured with increasing numbers of primary T cells for 16 hours (E:T ratios from 1 : 16 to 10: 1). Cell mixtures were stained with LIVE / DEAD Fixable Violet Dead Cell Stain Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific), anti-CD8 and anti-CD19, to assess the two distinct target cell populations by VPD450 staining levels. Cells were acquired and analyzed by flow cytometry, to assess CD8- cells (to exclude effector cells) and the VPD450high versus VPD4501ow populations.

[0273] Live cell counts of 0CI-AML2 cells and OCLAML3 cells presenting either target or control peptide following incubation with non-transduced T cells or anti-AIQDLCLAV TCRor anti-CLAVEEVSL TCR transduced T cells was determined. Loss of viable cells presenting target peptide (high VPD450 staining), with concomitant observation of retention of viable cells presenting control peptide (low VPD450 staining) as the effector to target (E:T) ratio was increased indicated selective killing of target cells presenting the AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) and / or CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO:5) by T cells genetically engineered to express an AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO: l)-specific or CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO:5)-specific TCR.Example 7. In Silico prediction of binding of AIQDLCLAV (SEQ ID NO:1) peptide to HLA.

[0274] Binding of AIQDLCLAV, IQDLCLAV, and AIQDLCLA to HLA was predicted using the ANN 4.0 option on IEDB (see below). Predicted IC50 values for AIQDLCLAV binding to HLA-A alleles are shown in Table 6a-d. Based on the predicted binding of AIQDLCLAV, IQDLCLAV, and AIQDLCLA, subjects having an HLA-AHLA-A*02:06, HLA-A*02:03, HLA-A*02:01 are expected to be suitable candidatesTable 6a.

[0275] TCR D was evaluated for the ability to induce T cell signaling by HLA*A02:01 presented target peptide (CLAVEEVSL, SEQ ID NO:5). In brief, Jurkat cells were engineered to express a-TCR D. K562 HLA*A02:01 expressing cells were peptide pulsed with the target peptide and subsequently co-cultured to evaluate TCR signaling. Expression of CD69 on Jurkat cells was evaluated as a surrogate marker of T cell activation by the target peptide.

[0276] Jurkat and K562 cell lines were cultured in RPMI and IMDM, respectively. Peptides were reconstituted and diluted in PBS prior to peptide pulse.

[0277] CD8+Jurkat cells were virally transduced (lentivirus) with TCR D and purified by FACS based sorting on TCR positive cells (Jurkat-TCR D cells). K562 were generated via pan HLA class I KO, virally transduced with HLA*A02:01 and purified by FACS sorting prior to performing reporter assays.

[0278] For reporter assays, engineered K562 cells were peptide pulsed with titrated concentrations of target peptide for 1 h prior to co-culture. Jurkat-TCR D cells were co-cultured with peptide pulsed K562 cells at an E:T ratio of 1 : 1 in 96 well plates. After 16-18 h, the co- cultured cells were stained with fluorescently tagged antibodies for CD3 (Jurkat specific marker), CD34 (marker for Jurkat cells transduced with the TCR of interest) and CD69 (to evaluated Jurkat-TCR D activation following co-culture). Cells were also stained with live / dead staining and analyzed utilizing NovacyteQuanteon. The ECso for peptide induced Jurkat activation was determined based on the percentage of Jurkat CD69 positive cells.

[0279] Jurkat-TCR D activation by peptide, as measure by CD69 expression, was dose responsive, with ECso of 45.54 ng / mL (FIG. 1). The results demonstrated that TCR D was able to induce TCR signaling and has the potential to induce CLAVEEVSL-specific cytotoxic signaling if engineered into primary cells.Example 9. TCR-mediated toxicity against target cells.

[0280] Anti -CLAVEEVSL TCRs were evaluated for cytotoxicity against HLA*A02:01 AML cell lines (0CI-AML3) which express a NPMlc mutation. In brief, primary CD8+T cells from HLA*A02:01 negative healthy donors were engineered to knock-out the endogenous TCR a and P constant chain domains. Subsequently, the CD8+cells were transduced with TCRs. 0CI-AML2 cells (HLA*A02:01+) were peptide pulsed with the target peptide and subsequently co-cultured with the engineered primary CD8+T cells to evaluate TCRcytotoxicity.

[0281] Frozen PBMCs were stimulated with pyrogenic CD3 antibody prior to purification of activated CD8 T cells. Subsequently the cells were endogenously TCR deleted by CRISPR and lentivirally transduced with TCR D, TCR E, or TCR F. Primary cells were expanded for 10 days in CTS media with serum replacement optimizer supplemented with 50 U of IL-2 and 10 ng / mL of IL-7. After 10 days transduced T cells were purified using CD34 (transduction marker) bead selection. Engineering of the CD8+TCR-T was confirmed by FACS analysis using CD3, CD8 (primary T cell specific marker), CD34 & NPM1 specific tetramer and live dead staining.

[0282] For cytotoxicity assays, 0CI-AML2 cells were peptide pulsed with titrated concentrations of CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO: 5) peptide for 1 h prior to co-culture.

[0283] Engineered CD8+TCR-T cells were co-cultured with control or peptide pulsed OCL AML2 cells at an E:T ratio of 1 : 1 in 96 well plates or with 0CI-AML3 cells or 0CI-AML2 cells (negative control cells) at varying E:T ratios in 96 well plates. For TCR-T negative control conditions, HPV specific TCR-T cells were engineered as described above and co-cultured as described above. No cytotoxicity was observed against cells not expressing or not pulsed with the target peptide, (data not shown). After 16-18 h, the co-cultured cells were stained with fluorescently tagged antibodies or cell dyes for CD8 (primary T cell specific marker), VPD450 (to identify 0CI-AML2 cells or 0CI-AML3 cells) and live / dead staining. Data are presented as the percent of pulsed (with target peptide) vs. non-pulsed (without target peptide) OCL AML2 cells (FIG. 2) or percent of OCI-AML3 (expressing the target peptide) vs. non-pulsed (FIG. 3). The results, shown for TCR D, indicates the TCRs were effective in killing cells pulsed with or naturally expressing the target peptide.

[0284] Co-culture assays were performed as described above with multiple TCRs and donors. The previously published Leiden (US11352389) TCR was included as a control. Data are presented as the percent of peptide pulsed OCI-AML2 cells (sensitive to immunogenic killing) vs OCI-AML2 cells without target peptide. ECso for peptide induced TCR cytotoxicity was determined based on the target cell numbers of peptide pulsed OCI-AML2 cells.Example 10. E:T EC so determination

[0285] Co-culture assays were performed as described above using TCRD, TCRE, and TCR F engineered T cells that were harvested from three healthy donors and three different donor cells known to express NPMlc. The previously published Leiden TCR (US11352389) was included as a control. For cytotoxicity, E:T ratio determined ECsos for engineered T cell wasdetermined based on OCI-AML3 target cell numbers. The data in Table 7 demonstrate that engineered T cells expressing TCR D, TCR E, or TCR F have potent cytotoxicity activity to cell lines expressing the NPMlc antigen CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO: 5), each having an EC50 E:T ratio less than 1. Furthermore, the observed cytotoxicity was not significantly different published engineered T cells. The demonstrated killing of 0CI-AML3 cells by TCR D, TCR E, and TCR F engineered T cells is indicative of mutation specific cytotoxicity for cells expressing NPMlc mutations which are presented in patient AML blast cells.Table 7. Killing of donor target cells with engineered T cells expressing TCR D, TCR E, or TCR F.Example 11. Tetramer based sorting of CLAVEEVSL reacting CD8+ T cell clones.

[0286] T cell isolation was performed by stimulating T cells with activated dendritic cells. Dendritic cells were generated by stimulating purified CD14 monocytes, derived from PBMCs, with 10 ng / mL LPS, IL-4, INF-y and GM-CSF for 4 days. The stimulated dendritic cells were pulsed with 10 ng / mL CLAVEEVL (SEQ ID NO:5) peptide on day 5. From day 1 to day 4, isolated CD8 T cells from the same donor were maintained in XVIVO-15 media with 5% human serum. CD8+cells were co-cultured with pulsed dendritic cells. Cells were maintained in XVIVO-15 media with the addition of 30 ng / mL IL-21 on day 5 and subsequently supplemented with 5 ng / mL IL-7 and IL-15 on days 8, 10 and 12. On day 16, CD8+T cells were stained with two 1 :40 CLAVEEVSL tetramers stained for allophycocyanin (APC) and R- phycoerythrin(PE) for 1 h at room temperature and then FACS sorted for tetramer positive T cells. The positive T cells were cloned and sequenced prior to further evaluation of the TCRs identified by tetramer double positive sorting.

[0287] Tetramer based sorting of CD8+T cell clones was also conducted for the AIQDCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) peptide as described above for the CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO:5) peptide (data not shown).

[0288] Stable transduced Jurkat cells were stained with CD3, CD34 and CLAVEEVSL orC*LAVEEVSL tetramer (1 :40) to validate TCR / peptide specificity.

[0289] We were able to isolate unique TCRs to the NPMlc CLAVEEVSL and AIQDCLAV neoantigen peptide tetramers as demonstrated by FACS plots. Additionally, we were able to demonstrate that the isolated anti-CLAVEEVLS TCRs were able to bind both un-cysteinylated CLAVEEVSL and cysteinylated C*LAVEEVSL tetramers. Binding to the C*LAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO:5) has been reported to be important for killing of mutNPMlc target cells (van der Lee DI et al., “Mutated nucleophosmin 1 as immunotherapy target in acute myeloid leukemia” J Clin Invest 2019 129(2):774-785). Engineered cells expressing TCR D exhibited, in separate experiments, 34.40% and 39.8% CLAVEEVSL tetramer binding (by FACS analysis) and 83.85% and 83.24% C*LAVEEVSL tetramer binding.

[0290] Additional activation, tetramer binding, and EC50 data are shown in Tables 8 and 9.Table 8. Binding of TCRs to target cells.*Primary CD8+ T cells co-cultured with 0CI-AML3**Primary CD8+ T cells co-cultured with 0CI-AML2 and CLAY peptide pulsedTable 9. Binding of TCRs to target cells.Example 12. Modified TCRs.

[0291] TCR D was engineered (modified) to introduce an additional disulfide bond to reduce the likelihood that its a or P chains would form chimeric TCRs with the endogenous primary CD8 TCR, thus reducing potential toxicity due to chimeric TCRs that do not target the NPMlc neoepitope. The TCR D was modified to introduce cysteines at positions 186 of the a chain (T186C substitution, position relative to SEQ ID NO:71) and position 191 of the P chain (S191C, position relative to SEQ ID NO:79), see Table 10.

[0292] Jurkat cells were transduced with the unmodified TCR D or the disulfide modified TCR D, as previously described. The disulfide modified TCR D bound exhibited increase binding to CLAVEEVSL (95.48%) tetramer relative to TCR D (88.45%), as determined by FACS analysis. Thus, the disulfide bond improves potency, possibly by increasing the proportion of anti-NPMlc TCR a / p pairing in engineered T cells. The same improvement in potency is expected to be seen if similar cysteine substitutions are made in the other described TCRs.

[0293] In addition, TCR D was also engineered with a and P constant regions being replaced with Ig domains of the y and 5 constant regions. Jurkat cells were transduced with the unmodified TCR D or the domain swapped TCR D as previously described. No tetramer binding was observed with the negative control domain swapped TCR Ds.Table 10. TCR modifications.Example 13. Engineered T cells are superior to CAR T cells.

[0294] An anti-NPMlc chimeric T cell receptor was generated comprising an anti- AIQDCLAV scFv as described (Xie G et al. “CAR-T cells targeting a nucleophosmin neoepitope exhibit potent specific activity in mouse models of acute myeloid leukaemia” Nat Biomed Eng. 2021), with modifications. The modifications were the use of a P2A element instead of a T2A elements and an RQR8 tag instead of an EGFR tag. It is known in the art thatthese modifications do not affect the targeting of the 5' CAR-T construct.

[0295] Engineered T cells and CAR-T cells were manufactured by isolating CD8+T cells, activating with TransACT and expanded using G-REX. Transduction, CRISPR editing, and cytokine supplementation was performed as previously described.

[0296] Reporter assays were performed as described above to evaluate anti-AIQDCLAV CAR-T cells and engineered TCR B T cells. Target cells were pulsed with AIQDCLAV (SEQ ID NO: 1) target peptide as described above for CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO:5) peptide. Additionally, engineered TCR D T cells were evaluated in parallel against CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO:5) target peptide pulsed cells. In pulse peptide reporter assays utilizing K562 cells as antigen presenting cells, HLA*A02:01 were used and K562 HLA*A24:02 cells were used as negative control.

[0297] Engineered Jurkat cells transduced with chimeric T cell receptor, TCRB, or TCR D were analyzed for reactivity against target cells A*02:01 K562s or A*24:02 K562s exogenously loaded with titrated concentrations of target peptide. The cells were co-cultured for 16-18 h at an E:T ratio of 1 : 1. The value of activation of the Jurkat cells was evaluated as the percentage of CD69+cells by flow cytometry (FIG. 4). Engineered TCR D T cells demonstrated robust TCR signal induction. Engineered anti-AIQDCLAV (TCR B) T cells also induced robust TCR signaling as determined by CD69 expression. Both the TCR B and TCR D engineered T cells exhibited substantially greater signaling than the CAR-T cells. As expected, no signaling was observed with K562 HLA*A24:02 cells.

[0298] TCR B and TCR D exhibit superior CD69 reporter signaling relative to published (Xie et al. 2021) anti-AIQDCLAV CAR-T cells in Jurkat CD 8 positive cells co-cultured with NPM1 pulsed K562 cells expressing HLA-A*02:01.Example 14. Comparison of CAR-T vs TCR-T in cytotoxicity assays.

[0299] Primary CD8+cells, from healthy donor, gene edited and transduced with TCR D (Native) or disulfide added TCR D (DB), or anti-AIQDCLAV CAR-T cells were tested for recognition of HLA-A*02:01 immunogenic AML cell lines with NPMlc (OCI-AML3) as previously described. The cells were co-cultured for 16-18 h at different E:T ratios. Percent killing was evaluated by flowcytometry and the EC so were generated in GraphPad Prism (FIG. 5).

[0300] Both the TCR D and disulfide modified TCR D engineered T cells exhibited substantially greater killing and lower ECso relative to CAR-T cells. Because the endogenous TCR was deleted in the engineered T cells, no difference in killing was observed between theTCR D and disulfide added TCR D engineered T cells. TCR knockout (KO) T cells were used as a negative control.Example 15. TCR D targets neoantigen (CLAVEEVSL) with and without post translational modifications.

[0301] Killing assay were performed as previously described, with minor modifications. Cytotoxicity assays were performed with OCI-AML2 cells pulsed with either CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO:5) peptide lacking post-translation modifications or with cysteinylation of the first cysteine in the target peptide (indicated as C*LAVEEVSL). Pulsed peptide assays were performed at an E:T ratio of 0.5: 1 and 1 : 1 with 10 ng / mL of peptide. Wild-type NPM1 was used as a negative peptide control and an anti-HPV TCR engineered T cell was used as negative engineered T cell control.

[0302] It has been shown (van der Lee et al. 2019) that cytotoxicity towards C*LAVEEVSL is important for T cell therapy against NPMlc+cancers. Previously published anti- CLAVEEVSL TCRs show showed differential activation, as measured by INFy, when binding to CLAVEEVSL or C*LAVEEVSL. Clonal reactivity was more potent against the uncysteinylated target peptide. In contrast, TCR D engineered T cells demonstrated high cytotoxicity to both the cysteinylated and uncysteinylated target peptide (FIGs. 7-8), suggesting potential cytotoxicity advantages over previously published anti-CLAVEEVSL TCRs (US 11352389).Example 16. Identification of amino acids of CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO: 5) recognized by the anti-CLAVEEVSL TCRs.

[0303] Alanine scanning of the CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO: 5) peptides was performed. The peptides used are as described in Table 11.

[0304] Reporter assays were performed as previously described with minor modifications. In brief target K562 cells were pulsed with the listed peptides at various peptide concentrations for 1 h. CD8+Jurkat cells were engineered to express TCR D and TCR F. Reporter assays were performed using E:T ratio of 1 : 1. Control conditions included the wild type negative control peptide or the immunogenic positive control peptide (CLAVEEVSL, SEQ ID NO: 5).Table 11. Alanine scan CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO:5) peptides

[0305] Residues of CLAVEEVSL (SEQ ID NO: 5) important in recognition by the anti- CLAVEEVLS TCRs was assessed by the reduction or loss of CD69 signaling when an amino acid was replaced with alanine. Amino acids at the 2nd, 5th, 6th, and 7thpositions (relative to SEQ ID NO:5) were found to be important for recognition by both TCRs (FIG. 7 and 8) Surprisingly, residue 4 was only important for recognition by TCR D and residue 9 was only important for recognition by TCR F.

Various modifications to the compositions and methods described will become apparent from the description and teachings herein.
