NCIt definition : A preparation of ex vivo expanded, autologous lymphocyte transfer cells (xALTs) that
are loaded with total tumor RNA (TTRNA) derived from autologous tumor cells, with
potential immunostimulatory and antineoplastic activities. Upon re-infusion of the
TTRNA-loaded ALTs into the patient, these ALTs may elicit a highly specific cytotoxic
T-lymphocyte (CTL) response against the tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) encoded by
the TTRNA.;
