    摘要: The present invention relates to the filed of immunotherapy, in particular, of lymphoproliferative disorders associated with abnormal proliferation of HLA-DR+ cells, e.g., malignancies of the hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues. The invention provides pharmaceutical compositions useful for, e.g., adoptive T cell therapy or T cell receptor (TCR) gene therapy or such disorders, as well as novel expression vectors, host cells and y8 (gamma/delta) TCR constructs. In particular, the inventors have identified γδ (gamma/delta) TCR constructs that can specifically bind to HLA-DR. In addition to host cells engineered to express such constructs that can be used for therapeutic as well as diagnostic purposes, soluble TCR constructs are provided, which can, e.g., be used in a method of detecting HLA-DR+ cells, e.g., in vitro as well as bispecific constructs that can be therapeutically used.
