The clinical success of cancer immunotherapy has driven ongoing efforts to identify novel targets that can effectively guide potent effector functions eliminate malignant cells. Traditionally, immunotherapies have focused on surface antigens; however, these represent only a small fraction the proteome, limiting their therapeutic potential. In contrast, majority proteins within human proteome are intracellular, yet they represented cell as short peptides presented by MHC class I molecules. These peptide-MHC complexes offer vast and largely untapped resource for targets. intracellular including neo-antigens, presents an exciting opportunity development cell-based soluble immunotherapies. Targeting intracellular-derived molecules surfaces be achieved using specific T-cell receptors (TCRs) or TCR-mimicking antibodies, known TCR-like (TCRL) antibodies. Current strategies under investigation include adoptive transfer TCR-engineered TCRL-T cells CAR-T target complexes, well TCR- TCRL-based agents like bispecific T engagers. Recent developments in targeting TCRL- TCR-based shown promising results, with two therapies recently receiving FDA approval treatment unresectable metastatic uveal melanoma synovial sarcoma. This review focuses processes selecting isolating moieties, emphasis pre-clinical studies explore potential immunotherapy.
