NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) derived from each
patient's resected tumor and edited with the clustered regularly interspaced short
palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR associated protein 9 (Cas9) system to eliminate
the expression of as of yet not elucidated immunoregulatory targets, with potential
immunomodulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration back into the
patient, autologous CRISPR-edited TILs GT316 specifically recognize and kill the patient's
tumor cells. The knockout of the immunoregulatory targets may enhance the proliferation
and cytokine release of the TILs.;
