allogeneic CD33CAR-CD3zeta-4-1BB-expressing T lymphocytes

A preparation of allogeneic T lymphocytes transduced with a lentiviral vector expressing a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specific for the CD33 antigen, coupled to the signaling domain of 4-1BB (CD137) and the zeta chain of the T-cell receptor (TCRzeta), with potential immunomodulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, allogeneic CD33CAR-CD3zeta-4-1BB-expressing 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.
