    摘要: The present invention relates to peptides and their ability to identify and bind to T cells specific for HBV-infected hepa-tocytes. In an first aspect of the invention, there is provided a peptide comprising an amino sequence selected from the group consisting of STLPETAVVRR, STLPETAVVR, STLPETTVVRR, STLPETTVIRR, STPPETTVVRR, STLPETTVVGR and STIPETTVVRR, wherein the peptide is derived from Hepatitis B virus core169 and is capable of binding HLA-A*1101 and when bound to HLA-A*1101 s capable of identifying T cells specific for Hepatitis B virus. In a second aspect of the invention, there is provided A T cell expressing a T cell receptor (TCR) molecule, wherein the TCR molecule comprises an amino acid sequence selected from the group comprising: CASGDSNSPLHF, CASSGGQIVYEQYF, CSARGGRGGDYTF and CASSQDWTEAFF, the T cell receptor is able to bind to a pep-tide according to the first aspect of the invention.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are immunogenic compositions or product combinations of engineered hepatitis B and hepatitis D nucleic acids, genes, peptides, or proteins that can be used to illicit an immune response against a hepatitis B and/or hepatitis D infection. Also disclosed are methods of using the immunogenic compositions or product combinations in subjects to generate immune responses against HBV and/or HDV by administering the compositions or combinations with a nucleic acid prime and polypeptide boost approach.

    摘要: The present invention relates to T cells, in particular a non-activated T cell, comprising an exogenous nucleic acid encoding a T cell Receptor (TCR) specific for a virus. An embodiment of the invention is directed to a non-activated (resting) T cell expressing Hepatitis B virus (HBV) envelope s183-191 TCR capable of inhibiting viral replication and which shows reduced expression of perforins and/or granzymes in response to stimulation as compared to an activated T cell expressing the said TCR. Also encompassed are methods for producing such cells, compositions, pharmaceutical compositions and kits comprising such cells and medical uses thereof.
