Title:
HIGH-AFFINITY TCR PROTEIN AND METHOD
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2011101649
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a T cell receptor (TCR) that has higher affinity for a ligand than wild type TCR.

These high-affinity TCR is obtained by steps of: mutagenizing a T cell receptor protein coding sequence to generate a variegated population of mutants of the T cell receptor protein coding sequence; transforming the T cell receptor mutant coding sequence into yeast cells; inducing expression of the T cell receptor mutant coding sequence on the surface of yeast cells; and selecting those cells expressing T cell receptor mutants that have higher affinity for the peptide/MHC ligand than the wild type T cell receptor protein. The high-affinity TCR can be used in place of an antibody or single chain antibody.
