NCIt synonyms : Autologous Anti-DLL3 CAR T Cells LB2102; Autologous DLL3-directed CAR T-cells LB2102;
NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous T-lymphocytes that have been genetically engineered to
express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specific for the tumor-associated antigen
(TAA) delta-like protein 3 (DLL3), with potential immunomodulating and antineoplastic
activities. Upon administration, autologous anti-DLL3 CAR-T cells LB2102 recognize
and induce selective toxicity in DLL3-expressing tumor cells. DLL3, a Notch pathway
protein, is overexpressed on a variety of cancer cell types. It plays a key role in
embryonic development and in tumor initiation and proliferation.;
