Detection of mutant antigen-specific T cell receptors against multiple myeloma for T cell engineering.

ABSTRACT: Multiple myeloma (MM) remains an incurable hematological neoplasm. Neoantigen-specific T cell receptor (TCR)-engineered T (TCR-T) cell therapy is a potential alternative treatment. Particularly, TCRs derived from a third-party donor may cover broad ranges of neoantigens, whereas TCRs in patients suffering from immune disorders are limited. However, the efficacy and feasibility of treating MM have not been evaluated thoroughly. In this study, we established a system for identifying immunogenic mutant antigens on MM cells and their corresponding TCRs using healthy donor-derived peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Initially, the immune responses to 35 candidate peptides predicted by the immunogenomic analysis were investigated. Peptide-reactive T lymphocytes were enriched, and subsequ
