TCR-Mimic Assets

Traditional antibody therapies target extracellular tumor proteins, but many key oncogenic proteins are intracellular. TCR-mimic (TCRm) antibodies address this by recognizing peptide-HLA complexes, mimicking T-cell receptors (TCRs). They offer high specificity and greater affinity than endogenous TCRs, enabling the targeting of intracellular tumor antigens.

      Why choose Biocytogen's fully human VHH assets?

      Biocytogen developed a fully human TCR-mimic (TCRm) antibody discovery platform using our proprietary RenTCR-mimic mice.

      • Harnessing a proprietary immunization protocol, we can directly obtain diverse peptide/HLA targeting antibodies for downstream screening.
      • These antibodies have high specificity and minimal off-target toxicity, and compared with endogenous TCRs, the affinity of TCRm antibodies to their target is higher, minimizing the chance of tumor immune escape.
      • In addition to this, our innovative mouse model and in vivo/in vitro pharmacology platform simplify the identification of preclinical candidates (PCC).
