Autologous HIV Gag-specific CD4 T-cells AGT103-T - CISMeF
Autologous HIV Gag-specific CD4 T-cells AGT103-TNCIt concept
Preferred Label : Autologous HIV Gag-specific CD4 T-cells AGT103-T;
NCIt synonyms : Autologous HIV-specific CD4 T Cells AGT103-T; Autologous HIV Gag-specific CD4-positive T-lymphocytes AGT103-T;
NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) Gag-specific, cluster
of differentiation 4 (CD4)-positive T-lymphocytes, with potential antiviral activity.
Autologous HIV Gag-specific CD4 T-cells AGT103-T are prepared via ex vivo stimulation
of autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with Gag peptides, and the
Gag-specific CD4 T-cells are transduced with the recombinant lentiviral vector AGT103
encoding inhibitory RNA targeting the HIV coreceptor C-C chemokine receptor type 5
(CCR5) and HIV sequences within the Vif/Tat coding regions. Upon administration, autologous
HIV Gag-specific CD4 T-cells AGT103-T may prevent infection by CCR5- or CXCR4-tropic
strains of HIV, reduce the depletion of CD4 T-cells upon HIV exposure and prevent
latently-infected cells from releasing new HIV particles.;
