NCIt definition : A preparation of allogeneic T-lymphocytes transduced with a lentiviral vector expressing
a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specific for the CD33 antigen, with potential immunomodulating
and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, CD33-specific CAR lentiviral vector-transduced
allogeneic T-lymphocytes target and induce selective toxicity in CD33-expressing tumor
cells. CD33 is expressed on normal non-pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells and on
myeloid leukemia cells.;
