autologous anti-CD19 TAC-T cells TAC01-CD19

A preparation of autologous T lymphocytes genetically engineered with a T cell Antigen Coupler (TAC), comprising of a domain that targets the tumor-associated antigen (TAA) cluster of differentiation 19 (CD19) and another domain that binds to the endogenous T-cell receptor (TCR), anchored in the membrane via the CD4 co-receptor domain, with potential immunostimulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, autologous anti-CD19 TAC-T cells TAC01-CD19 targets and binds to CD19-expressing tumor cells and activates TCR-mediated signaling pathways, leading to T-cell-mediated killing of CD19-expressing tumor cells. CD19 antigen is a B-cell specific cell surface antigen overexpressed in B-cell lineage malignancies.
