Computational stabilization of T cell receptors allows pairing with antibodies to form bispecifics

Recombinant T-cells receptors can redirect naïve T cells but often have low or uneven expression. Here, the authors model mutations in TCR constant domains to increase T cell receptor expression, assembly, and stability and generate bispecific molecules.
