Abstract
A proteinaceous particle, for example a bacteriophage, ribosome or cell, displaying on its surface a T-cell receptor (TCR). The displayed TCR is preferably a heterodimer having a non-native disulfide bond between constant domain residues. Such display particles may be used for the creation of diverse TCR libraries for the identification of high affinity TCRs. Several high affinities are disclosed.

1-11. (canceled)
A diverse library comprising a plurality of phage particles displaying on their surfaces dimeric T cell receptor (TCR) polypeptide pairs constituted by:
- a TCR α chain variable domain sequence fused to the N terminus of a TCR α chain constant domain extracellular sequence;
- and
- a TCR β chain variable domain sequence fused to the N terminus of a TCR β chain constant domain extracellular sequence,
- wherein the TCR α chain constant domain extracellular sequence and the TCR β chain constant domain extracellular sequence are linked by a disulfide bond between cysteine residues substituted for:
- Thr 48 of exon 1 of TRAC*01 at position 10 with reference to the position numbering of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 and Ser 57 of exon 1 of TRBC1*01 or TRBC2*01 at position 10 with reference to the position numbering of SEQ ID NO:
- 5;
- Thr 45 of exon 1 of TRAC*01 at position 10 with reference to the position numbering of SEQ ID NO:
- 2 and Ser 77 of exon 1 of TRBC1*01 or TRBC2*01 at position 10 with reference to the position numbering of SEQ ID NO:
- 6;
- Tyr 10 of exon 1 of TRAC*01 at position 10 with reference to the position numbering of SEQ ID NO:
- 3 and Ser 17 of exon 1 of TRBC1*01 or TRBC2*01 at position 10 with reference to the position numbering of SEQ ID NO:
- 7;
- Thr 45 of exon 1 of TRAC*01 at position 10 with reference to the position numbering of SEQ ID NO:
- 2 and Asp 59 of exon 1 of TRBC1*01 or TRBC2*01 at position 10 with reference to the position numbering of SEQ ID NO:
- 8;
- or
- Ser 15 of exon 1 of TRAC*01 at position 10 with reference to the position numbering of SEQ ID NO:
- 4 and Glu 15 of exon 1 of TRBC1*01 or TRBC2*01 at position 10 with reference to the position numbering of SEQ ID NO:
- 9.
