Adoptive T cell therapy for cancer using Mutant KRAS-specific T cell receptors for T cell engineering

We have isolated, cloned, and characterized multiple T cell receptors (TCRs) from human donors specific for common mutations in KRAS and restricted to highly prevalent HLA types.  These TCRs, protected by a Penn provisional filing, are suitable for T cell engineering for the adoptive immunotherapy of cancer patients of select HLA types and tumors expressing particular KRAS mutantions.

The comprehensive bioinformatics, biochemical and immunological assessment of these TCRs is in press (Bear et al, Nature Communications).

Lipid nanoparticle-based mRNA delivery for CAR T-cell engineering

A library of ionizable lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) was screened for ability to deliver mRNA to T-cells, leading to an optimized LNP formulation for delivery of mRNA to T-cells. This thereby enhances the ability to generate transient chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-expressing T-cells for cancer immunotherapy.
