NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous activated T cells that have been engineered to express
chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) specific for the tumor-associated antigen (TAA)
CD147 (Basigin; EMMPRIN; extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer; OX47; 5A11),
with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration back into the patient,
the anti-CD147 CAR T-cells target and induce selective cytotoxicity in CD147-expressing
tumor cells. CD147, a cell-surface glycoprotein of the immunoglobulin G (IgG) superfamily,
is overexpressed in certain human tumors and plays an important role in tumor cell
proliferation, migration, progression, and metastasis.;
