NCIt synonyms : Autologous NKG2DLs-targeting CAR T-cells LEU011; Autologous NKG2D Ligands-targeting CAR T-cells LEU011; Autologous Anti-NKG2DL CAR T-cells LEU 011;
NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous T-lymphocytes that have been genetically modified to express
a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) targeting natural-killer group 2, member D ligands
(NKG2DLs), with potential immunostimulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration,
autologous anti-NKG2DLs CAR-T cells LEU011 specifically recognize and induce selective
toxicity in tumor cells expressing NKG2DLs. Ligands for NKG2D, such as MHC class I
chain-related protein A (MICA), MICB, and members of the UL16-binding proteins (ULBP)/retinoic
acid early transcript 1 (RAET1) family, are overexpressed on various cancer cell types,
but are not expressed on most normal, healthy cells.;
