NCIt definition : A preparation of human autologous T-lymphocytes transduced with a retroviral vector
encoding for a T-cell receptor (TCR) specific for HLA-A*02-restricted human hepatitis
B virus (HBV) surface antigen (HBsAg) peptide, with potential antineoplastic activity.
Upon administration, the autologous HBV-specific TCR-expressing T-lymphocytes SCG101
recognize and bind to HBV antigen-positive cells, which induces cytotoxic T-lymphocyte
(CTL)-mediated elimination of HBV antigen-positive cells, including those in HBV-related
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).;
