| abstract |
The present disclosure provides methods and compositions relating to isolated CD8+ T cells expressing a disease antigen-specific T cell receptor, as well as nucleic acids encoding the Vα and Vβ polypeptide pairs of T cell receptors (TCRs) of such disease antigen-specific T cells. Such disease antigen-specific CD8+ T cells are obtainable from the periphery (e.g., blood) of a subject having a disease amenable to treatment with an IL-10 agent. The present disclosure also contemplates therapeutic methods and compositions relating to administration of isolated disease antigen-specific CD8+ T cells to a subject, as well as therapeutic methods and compositions relating to CD8+ T cells genetically modified to express a disease antigen-specific TCR and/or chimeric antigen receptor. |
