NCIt related terms : ETBX-071;
NCIt definition : A cancer vaccine composed of a genetically engineered, replication-deficient adenovirus
carrying the gene encoding human prostate-specific antigen (PSA), with potential immunostimulating
and antineoplastic activities. Upon vaccination with the adenoviral-PSA vaccine ETBX-071,
the adenovirus infects cells and expresses PSA. In turn, PSA activates the immune
system and induces a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response against PSA-expressing
tumor cells. PSA, a tumor associated antigen (TAA), is expressed by prostate epithelial
cells and is overexpressed in prostate cancer.;
