SAN FRANCISCO and BERLIN, Sept. 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — T-knife Therapeutics, Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing T cell receptor-based immunotherapies that deliver transformational benefits to cancer patients, today announced four poster presentations at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) Annual Meeting which will take place November 1-5, 2023 in San Diego, CA.
“We are excited to share the breadth of our platform technologies in four poster presentations at SITC,” stated Peggy Sotiropoulou, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of T-knife. “T-knife is unveiling newly identified, next generation PRAME T-cell receptor therapy (TCR-T) candidates, combining high-affinity T-cell receptors with CD8 co-receptor and switch receptor constructs. We are also excited to share novel data from our toolbox of next-generation technologies, including tailored CD8 co-receptors and switch receptors designed to enhance T cell function and potency. Finally, we are presenting new data further validating our platform as a powerful tool for the identification of immunogenic epitopes for tumor associated antigens and the discovery of TCRs with best-in-class potential.”
