Autologous CD5-specific CAR-28 zeta CAR T-cellsNCIt concept
Preferred Label : Autologous CD5-specific CAR-28 zeta CAR T-cells;
NCIt synonyms : CD5.CAR/28zeta CAR T Cells; Autologous CD5.CAR/28zeta CAR T Cells; Autologous CD5-specific CAR-28 zeta CAR T-lymphocytes;
NCIt definition : Autologous T-lymphocytes transduced with a retroviral vector expressing a chimeric
antigen receptor (CAR) consisting of an anti-CD5 single chain variable fragment (scFv)
coupled to the costimulatory signaling domain CD28 and the zeta chain of the T-cell
receptor (TCR), with potential immunomodulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon
transfusion, the autologous CD5-specific CAR-28 zeta CAR T-cells are directed to and
induce selective toxicity in CD5-expressing tumor cells. The tumor-associated antigen
(TAA) CD5 is a T-cell surface glycoprotein expressed on the surface of normal T-cells,
and is overexpressed on various B- and T-cell malignancies; its expression is associated
with poor prognosis.;
