Anti TRBC1 antigen binding domains
The present disclosure relates to anti-TRBC1 antigen binding domains characterized by the sequences of the variable chains. The CDRs sequences of the variable chains are: (VH CDR1) GYTFT, (VH CDR2) NPYNDDIQS, (VH CDR3) GAGYNFDGAYRFFDF; and (VL CDR1) RSSQRLVHSNGNTYL, (VL CDR2) RVSNRFP, (VL CDR3) SQSTHVPYT. The claimed humanized antibodies derive from the murine JOVI antibody. Uses in cancer therapy.
1. A chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) comprising:
a) an anti-T-cell Receptor β-constant region (TRBC)1 antigen binding domain comprising the heavy chain variable region domain of SEQ ID NO: 9 and the light chain variable region domain of SEQ ID NO: 19, and
b) a 41BB-CD3zeta endodomain.
2. A nucleic acid encoding the CAR of claim 1 .
3. A vector comprising the nucleic acid of claim 2 .
4. A nucleic acid construct comprising a first nucleic acid encoding the CAR of claim 1 and a second nucleic acid encoding a suicide gene.
5. A vector comprising the nucleic acid construct of claim 4 .
6. A T cell comprising the CAR of claim 1 .
7. A method for making the T cell of claim 6 comprising the step of introducing into a T cell:
a) a nucleic acid or vector encoding a CAR,
b) a nucleic acid construct comprising a first nucleic acid encoding a CAR and a second nucleic acid encoding a suicide gene, or
c) a vector comprising a nucleic acid construct according to b);
wherein the CAR of a) and b) comprises an anti-TRBC1 antigen binding domain comprising the VH domain of SEQ ID NO: 9 and the VL domain of SEQ ID NO: 19, and a 41BB-CD3zeta endodomain.
8. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a plurality of T cells of claim 6 and a carrier, diluent or excipient.
9. A method of treating a TRBC1-expressing T-cell lymphoma or leukaemia in a subject comprising the step of administering the pharmaceutical composition of claim 8 to the subject.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the TRBC1-expressing T-cell lymphoma or leukaemia is a peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS); angio-immunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL), hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTL), extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma nasal type, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, primary cutaneous ALCL, T cell prolymphocytic leukaemia or T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
