Autologous BCMA-targeted CAR T Cells LCAR-B4822MNCIt concept
Preferred Label : Autologous BCMA-targeted CAR T Cells LCAR-B4822M;
NCIt synonyms : LCAR-B4822M CAR-T-lymphocytes; LCAR-B4822M-02 Cells; Autologous LCAR-B4822M CAR T Cells; BCMA-specific CAR-expressing T-lymphocytes LCAR-B4822M;
NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous peripheral blood T-lymphocytes (PBTLs) that have been
genetically modified to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specific for the
B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA; tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member
17; TNFRSF17), with potential immunostimulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon
administration, autologous BCMA-targeted CAR T-cells LCAR-B4822M specifically recognize
and kill BCMA-expressing tumor cells. BCMA, a tumor specific antigen and a receptor
for both a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL) and B-cell activating factor (BAFF),
is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily and plays a key
role in plasma cell survival; it is found on the surfaces of plasma cells and overexpressed
on malignant plasma cells.;
