NCIt related terms : recombinant vaccinia-CEA-MUC-1-TRICOM vaccine; PANVAC-V;
NCIt definition : A cancer vaccine comprised of a recombinant vaccinia viral vector encoding the carcinoembryonic
antigen (CEA), MUC-1 (mucin-1), a transmembrane glycoprotein secreted by glandular
tissues, and TRICOM, comprised of the three co-stimulatory molecule transgenes B7-1,
ICAM-1 and LFA-3. Upon administration, inalimarev may enhance CEA and MUC-1 presentation
to antigen presenting cells (APC) and may activate a cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL)
response against CEA- and MUC-1-expressing tumor cells.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A cancer vaccine made with a form of vaccinia virus that does not cause
disease in humans. It is being studied in the treatment of some types of cancer. The
virus is changed in the laboratory to make human proteins, including the tumor markers
called CEA and MUC-1, that may help immune cells in the body kill tumor cells.;
