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 multiple antigen-specific T cells MASE-T

A preparation of autologous T cells targeting multiple antigens expressed by melanoma cells, with potential immunomodulating and antineoplastic activities. Peripheral blood T cells from the patient are collected, processed with artificial antigen-presenting scaffolds, and enriched and expanded ex-vivo to generate multiple antigen-specific endogenously-derived T cells (MASE-T) targeting multiple antigens expressed by melanoma cells. Upon administration, the autologous multiple antigen-specific T cells MASE-T are re-introduced into the patient, where they target and kill melanoma cells expressing these specific antigens.
