Abstract excerpt
We describe a simple iterative approach to augment TCR affinity, which we studied using a myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-specific TCR. We hypothesized that single amino acid modifications in TCR CDR3 could enhance TCR sensitivity through focal interactions with antigenic peptide while minimi...
