NCIt synonyms : Autologous CD19-targeted CAR T Cells GC019F; Autologous FasTCAR-enabled CD19-targeted CAR T-cells GC019F;
NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous T-lymphocytes that have been genetically modified to express
a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specific for the tumor-associated antigen (TAA)
CD19, with potential immunostimulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration,
autologous anti-CD19 CAR-T cells GC019F target and bind to CD19-expressing tumor cells.
This results in a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response against CD19-expressing tumor
cells, the release of cytotoxic molecules and the induction of tumor cell lysis. CD19,
cluster of differentiation 19, is a B-cell-specific cell surface antigen overexpressed
in B-cell lineage tumors. The processing platform used, FasTCAR, shortens the manufacturing
time to produce the CAR-T cells.;
