CXCR2-transduced Autologous Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes

Preferred Label : CXCR2-transduced Autologous Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes;

NCIt synonyms : CXCR2-transduced Autologous TILs;

NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) that are transduced, ex vivo, with a retroviral vector encoding a gene for CXC chemokine receptor 2 (CXCR2), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration of the CXCR2-transduced autologous TILs, the CXCR2-expressing T-cells selectively migrate toward tumor cells expressing CXCR2 ligands, which leads to tumor cell killing. CXCR2 expression allows for optimal TIL migration towards tumor cells and enhances the TILs anti-tumor activity. This leads to a reduction in both tumor cell proliferation and survival. CXCR2, a transmembrane protein also known as IL-8 receptor B (IL-8RB), plays a key role in inflammation and cancer progression. Certain CXCR2 ligands, such as CXCL1 and CXCL8 (IL-8), are expressed by tumor cells.;
