Framework engineering to produce dominant T cell receptors with enhanced antigen-specific function

Increasing TCR cell surface expression can potentiate T cell responses to low-concentrations of antigen. Here the authors identify aminoacids in human TCR variable domains that impact its surface expression, and demonstrate how editing these residues can improve T cell activation and effector functi...
