NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous T-lymphocytes that have been genetically engineered to
express a T-cell receptor (TCR) specific for the tumor-associated antigen (TAA) human
mesothelin (TMSLN), with potential immunomodulating and antineoplastic activities.
Upon administration, the autologous anti-mesothelin TCR-expressing T-cells FH-TCR
TMSLN specifically target and bind to mesothelin-expressing tumor cells. This leads
to T-cell activation and T-cell mediated lysis of mesothelin-expressing tumor cells.
Mesothelin, a cell surface glycoprotein involved in cell adhesion, is overexpressed
in a variety of cancer cell types.;
