Adaptimmune is a leader in TCR T-cell therapy, focused on developing novel cancer immunotherapy products. We utilize the body’s own machinery – the T-cell – to target and destroy cancer cells by increasing the affinity of naturally occurring T-cell receptors (TCRs). We have developed a proprietary T-cell receptor platform that enables us to identify cancer targets, find and genetically engineer T-cell receptors, or TCRs, and produce TCR therapeutic candidates called SPEAR (Specific Peptide Enhanced Affinity Receptor) T-cells that recognize these targets on cancer cells. We engineer a patient’s own T-cells to express our SPEAR TCRs to target and potentially destroy tumors. Source
