NGFR-transduced Autologous T LymphocytesNCIt concept
Preferred Label : NGFR-transduced Autologous T Lymphocytes;
NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous, genetically modified T-lymphocytes that are expressing
the tumor-associated antigen (TAA) nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR; p75 neurotrophin
receptor; p75(NTR); CD271), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon isolation,
transduction, expansion ex vivo, and reintroduction into the patient, the NGFR-transduced
autologous T-lymphocytes may induce an immune response and may kill NGF-expressing
tumor cells. Dysregulated NGF signaling may promote proliferation and invasion in
certain tumor cell types.;
