Preferred Label : LMP2-specific T Cell Receptor-transduced Autologous T-lymphocytes;
NCIt synonyms : LMP2 Antigen-specific TCR T Cells;
NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous T-lymphocytes that have been transduced with a lentiviral
vector encoding a T-cell receptor (TCR) specific for human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A02:01/24:02/11:01-restricted
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) latent membrane proteins (LMP) 1 and 2, and EBV nuclear antigen
1 (EBNA1), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, the autologous
LMP1/LMP2/EBNA1-specific, HLA-A02:01/24:02/11:01-restricted TCR-expressing T-lymphocytes
YT-E001 recognize and bind to HLA-presented EBV peptides, which may promote cell death
and inhibit the growth of tumor cells expressing LMP1, LMP2 or EBNA1. LMP1, LMP2,
and EBNA1 are expressed in various, EBV-associated malignancies, including nasopharyngeal
cancer and EBV-positive Hodgkin lymphoma.;
