NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous T-lymphocytes that have been transduced with a lentiviral
vector expressing a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specific for the T-cell surface
glycoprotein CD1a, with potential immunostimulating and antineoplastic activities.
Upon administration, autologous anti-CD1a CAR T cells OC-1 bind to and induce selective
toxicity in CD1a-expressing tumor cells. CD1a, an antigen-presenting glycoprotein,
is exclusively expressed in cortical T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) and
otherwise only normally expressed in developing cortical thymocytes and Langerhans
cells.;
