NCIt synonyms : Autologous CLL1-specific CAR T-lymphocytes; Autologous Anti-CLL-1 CAR T Cells; Autologous CLL1-targeted CAR T Cells; Autologous CLL-1.CAR T Cells;
NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous T-lymphocytes expressing a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)
specific for the tumor-associated antigen (TAA) C-type-lectin-like molecule-1 (CLL1;
C-type lectin domain family 12 member A; CLEC12A) linked to the CD28 co-stimulatory
signaling domain, with potential immunomodulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon
administration, the autologous CLL1-CAR-CD28-expressing T-lymphocytes specifically
target and bind to CLL1-expressing tumor cells. This induces selective toxicity in
tumor cells that express the CLL1 antigen. CLL1, a member of the C-type lectin/C-type
lectin-like domain (CTL/CTLD) superfamily, is overexpressed in leukemic stem cells
(LSCs) and plays an important role in disease progression and relapse for myeloid
malignancies.;
