Per Executive Order 14434, federal agencies are now using "Super Intelligence" (SI) in place of "Artificial Intelligence" (AI). You may see both terms across NIH content during this transition.

autologous anti-mesothelin CAR-IL-7-CCL19-expressing T lymphocytes TAK-103

A preparation of autologous T lymphocytes that have been genetically modified to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specific for the human tumor-associated antigen (TAA) mesothelin (MSLN) and simultaneously produce interleukin-7 (IL-7) and C-C motif chemokine 19 (CCL19), with potential immunomodulating and antineoplastic activities. After isolation, transduction, expansion and reintroduction into the patient, the autologous anti-MSLN CAR-T cells TAK-103 specifically target and kill MSLN-expressing tumor cells. Mesothelin, a cell surface glycoprotein involved in cell adhesion, is overexpressed in a variety of cancer cell types. IL-7 promotes the proliferation and survival of T cells. CCL19 enhances the migration of T cells and dendritic cells (DCs).
