NCIt synonyms : Human Interleukin-7 mRNA-encoded BNT152; BNT-152;
NCIt related terms : BNT-152 MRNA;
NCIt definition : A formulation consisting of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) encapsulating nucleoside-modified
messenger RNA (mRNA) encoding the endogenous cytokine interleukin-7 (IL-7), with potential
immunostimulating activity. Upon administration, ribocytokine IL-7 BNT152 is taken
up by cells and the expressed IL-7 targets and binds to the IL-7 receptor (IL7R).
The binding of IL-7 to IL7R activates IL7/IL7R-mediated signaling, which activates
B- and T- lymphocytes, may improve immune recovery and activation, and may enhance
anti-tumor immune responses.;
