NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous T-lymphocytes that are genetically engineered to express
a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) targeting an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) protein, with
potential immunostimulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon intravenous administration,
the autologous anti-EBV CAR T cells BRG01 targets a specific EBV protein expressed
on EBV-positive cancer cells and promotes killing of these cancer cells. EBV infection
is associated with various cancers and the expression of certain EBV specific proteins
plays a key role in tumor cell proliferation and survival.;
