Recombinant T cell receptors specific for HLA-A*02:01-restricted neoepitopes containing KRAS codon 12 hotspot mutations
2020
KRAS codon 12 mutations are among the most common hotspot mutations in human cancer. Using a functional screening platform we set out to identify αβ T-cell receptors (TCRs) as potential targeting reagents for KRASG12D and/or KRASG12V neoepitopes presented by the prevalent HLA-A*02:01 allele. Here we describe isolation and characterization of three distinct CD8+ T cell clones from a pre-treated 76 year old patient with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). One clone was KRASG12V reactive and two clones were KRASG12D reactive. Tetramer staining showed high specificity of each T cell clone for its cognate HLA-A*02:01 restricted KRASG12V or KRASG12D neoepitope (>98% tetramer positive) without appreciable cross-reactivity to wild-type KRAS (
