Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: T-cell receptor (TCR) gene therapy is an approach being considered for HIV-1, but epitope mutation is a significant barrier. We assessed whether HIV-specific TCR can be modified to have broader coverage of epitope variants by recombining polymorphisms between public clonotype TCR sequences. DESIGN: Public clonotype TCRs recognizing the same epitope often differ by polymorphisms in their third...
