T cell antigen discovery via signaling and antigen-presenting bifunctional receptors

Abstract

CD8^+ T cells recognize and eliminate tumors in an antigen-specific manner. Despite progress in characterizing the antitumor T cell repertoire and function, the identification of target antigens remains a challenge. Here we describe the use of chimeric receptors called signaling and antigen-presenting bifunctional receptors (SABRs) in a cell-based platform for T cell receptor (TCR) antigen discovery. SABRs present an extracellular complex comprising a peptide and major histocompatibility complex (MHC), and induce intracellular signaling via a TCR-like signal after binding with a cognate TCR. We devised a strategy for antigen discovery using SABR libraries to screen thousands of antigenic epitopes. We validated this platform by identifying the targets recognized by public TCRs of known specificities. Moreover, we extended this approach for personalized neoantigen discovery.

The raw data for Figs. 1–5 and Supplementary Figs. 1, 3, 4, 7, and 8 can be found in the Source Data files. The list of epitopes in the SABR libraries can be found in Supplementary Tables 3 and 4. The plasmids for HLA-A*0201-SABR backbone (pCCLc-MND-A0201-SABR-Backbone; ID 119050), HLA-B*2705-SABR backbone (pCCLc-MND-B2705-SABR-Backbone; ID 119051), A2-Mart1-SABR (pCCLc-MND-A0201-Mart1-SABR; ID 119052), and B27-KK10-SABR (pCCLc-MND-B2705-KK10-SABR; ID 119053) are available through Addgene. The sequencing data have been deposited in the Sequence Read Archive (SRR8207921, amplicon sequencing of A2-SABR-library co-incubated with F5 TCR; SRR8207922, amplicon sequencing of A2-SABR-library co-incubated with SL9 TCR; SRR8207923, amplicon sequencing of A2-SABR-library co-incubated with no TCR; SRR8207924, amplicon sequencing of A2-NeoAg-library co-incubated with neoTCR; SRR8207925, amplicon sequencing of A2-NeoAg-library co-incubated with no TCR).
