NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous T-lymphocytes that have been genetically engineered to
express a single-domain antibody that recognizes human CD19, fused to the CD3-epsilon
T-cell receptor (TCR) subunit which, upon expression is incorporated into the endogenous
TCR complex, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, the autologous
anti-CD19 TCR fusion construct (TRuC) T-cells TC-110 specifically target and bind
to CD19-expressing tumor cells. This leads to T-cell activation and T-cell mediated
lysis of CD19-expressing tumor cells. CD19 antigen is a B-cell specific cell surface
antigen overexpressed in B-cell lineage malignancies. Compared to chimeric antigen
receptor (CAR) T-cells, TRuCs may be associated with less pro-inflammatory cytokine
secretion and fewer adverse effects without compromising therapeutic efficacy.;
