1. An isolated or purified T-cell receptor (TCR), wherein the TCR has antigenic specificity for a mutated human RAS amino acid sequence presented by a human leukocyte antigen (HLA) Class II molecule,
wherein the mutated human RAS amino acid sequence is a mutated human Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS), a mutated human Harvey rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (HRAS), or a mutated human Neuroblastoma rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (NRAS) amino acid sequence, wherein the TCR comprises:
an α chain complementarity determining region (CDR) 1 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 7, an α chain CDR2 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 8, an α chain CDR3 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 9, a β chain CDR1 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 10, a β chain CDR2 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 11, and a β chain CDR3 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 12.
