MAGE-A1-specific T Cell Receptor-transduced Autologous T-cellsNCIt concept
Preferred Label : MAGE-A1-specific T Cell Receptor-transduced Autologous T-cells;
NCIt synonyms : MAGE-A1-specific TCR-transduced Autologous T-cells; MAGE-A1-specific T Cell Receptor-transduced Autologous CD8 and CD4 T-cells;
NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous CD4- and CD8-positive T-lymphocytes genetically modified
to express a T-cell receptor (TCR) that specifically targets the human melanoma-associated
antigen A1 (MAGE-A1), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon isolation, transduction,
expansion ex vivo, and reintroduction into the patient, the MAGE-A1-specific TCR-transduced
autologous T-cells bind to tumor cells expressing MAGE-A1, which may halt the growth
of and kill MAGE-A1-expressing cancer cells. MAGE-A1 is a tumor-associated antigen
(TAA) overexpressed by a variety of cancer cell types.;
