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 TCR-expressing T cells FH-TCR TMSLN

A preparation of autologous T lymphocytes that have been genetically engineered to express a T-cell receptor (TCR) specific for the tumor-associated antigen (TAA) human mesothelin (TMSLN), with potential immunomodulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, the autologous anti-mesothelin TCR-expressing T cells FH-TCR TMSLN specifically target and bind to mesothelin-expressing tumor cells. This leads to T-cell activation and T-cell mediated lysis of mesothelin-expressing tumor cells. Mesothelin, a cell surface glycoprotein involved in cell adhesion, is overexpressed in a variety of cancer cell types.
