Autologous Gamma Delta T-cell Receptor-expressing T-cells TEG002

Preferred Label : Autologous Gamma Delta T-cell Receptor-expressing T-cells TEG002;

NCIt synonyms : Autologous Gamma Delta TCR-expressing T-lymphocytes TEG002;

NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous T-lymphocytes genetically engineered to express a defined gamma delta T-cell receptor (TCR), with potential immunomodulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration of the autologous gamma delta TCR-expressing T-cells TEG002, these cells secrete interferon-gamma (IFN-g) and exert direct killing of tumor cells. In addition, these cells activate the immune system to exert a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response against tumor cells. Gamma delta T-lymphocytes play a key role in the activation of the immune system and do not require major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-mediated antigen presentation to exert their cytotoxic effect.;
