NCIt synonyms : CD20-targeting CAR T Cells MB-CART20.1; MB-CART20.1; Autologous CD20-targeted CAR-transduced CD4/CD8 Enriched T Cells MB-CART20.1; Anti-CD20 CAR T Cells MB-CART20.1;
NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous T-lymphocytes that have been genetically modified to express
a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) targeting the tumor-associated antigen (TAA) CD20
(cluster of differentiation 20), and CD4/CD8 enriched, with potential immunostimulating
and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, MB-CART20.1 specifically recognize
and kill CD20-expressing tumor cells. The CD20 antigen, a non-glycosylated cell surface
phosphoprotein, is a B-cell specific cell surface antigen expressed in B-cell lineage
malignancies and certain melanoma cell subpopulations.;
