Preferred Label : Genetically Engineered NY-ESO-1-specific T Lymphocytes;
NCIt definition : A preparation of human T-lymphocytes recognizing the tumor-associated antigen (TAA),
cancer/testis antigen 1 (NY-ESO-1), with potential immunostimulating and antineoplastic
activities. Genetically engineered NY-ESO-1-specific T-lymphocytes target tumor cells
expressing the NY-ESO-1 antigen, resulting in tumor cell lysis. NY-ESO-1, an antigen
found in normal testis, is overexpressed on the surface of various tumor cell types.;
