Autologous E6 T Cell Receptor Genetically-modified T CellsNCIt concept
Preferred Label : Autologous E6 T Cell Receptor Genetically-modified T Cells;
NCIt synonyms : Autologous HPV-16 E6 TCR T Cells; Autologous Anti-HPV-16 E6 TCR T Cells; Autologous E6 TCR T-cells; Autologous E6 TCR T Cells;
NCIt definition : A preparation of human autologous peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) that have been
genetically engineered to express a T-cell receptor (TCR) that specifically targets
the viral oncoprotein human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) E6, with potential antineoplastic
activity. Upon administration, the HPV E6 TCR genetically-modified T-cells target
and bind to HPV-16 E6-expressing tumor cells, which leads to specific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte
(CTL)-mediated killing of HPV-16 E6-positive tumor cells. HPV-16 E6, a cell surface
glycoprotein, plays a key role in the tumorigenesis of various HPV-associated tumors
and is absent from healthy human tissues.;
