The intersection of affinity and specificity in the development and optimization of T cell receptor based therapeutics

Publication date: December 2018Source: Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, Volume 84Author(s): Timothy P. Riley, Brian M. BakerAbstractThe role of the αβ T cell receptor (TCR) in identifying immunological targets and signaling appropriate responses provides for exciting translational opportunities. Yet TCRs mediate one of the most complex protein–protein interactions in biology, with intricate signaling and selection mechanisms adding additional layers of sophistication. In this review, we discuss how these complexities influence the development and optimization of TCR-based therapeutics, focusing on the intersection between structure, affinity, and specificity. We highlight similarities between TCRs and germline antibodies in molecular recognition, but emphasize that engineering...
