Autologous Tn-MUC1-specific CAR T-lymphocytesNCIt concept
Preferred Label : Autologous Tn-MUC1-specific CAR T-lymphocytes;
NCIt synonyms : Autologous Tn-MUC1-specific CAR T Cells; Anti-TnMUC1-CAR-expressing Autologous T-lymphocytes; Autologous TnMUC1-targeted Genetically-Modified CAR T Cells; Autologous Anti-TnMUC1-CAR-expressing T-lymphocytes; Autologous CART-TnMUC1 Cells;
NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous T-lymphocytes that have been genetically modified to express
a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specific for the tumor-associated antigen (TAA)
Tn glycoform of mucin-1 (Tn-MUC1; TnMUC1), with potential antineoplastic and immunostimulating
activities. Upon re-introduction into the patient, the autologous Tn-MUC1-specific
CAR T-lymphocytes specifically recognize and induce selective toxicity in TnMUC1-expressing
tumor cells. TnMUC1 is overexpressed in certain tumor types.;
