autologous Tn-MUC1-specific CAR T lymphocytes
A preparation of autologous T lymphocytes that have been genetically modified to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specific for the tumor-associated antigen (TAA) Tn glycoform of mucin-1 (Tn-MUC1; TnMUC1), with potential antineoplastic and immunostimulating activities. Upon re-introduction into the patient, the autologous Tn-MUC1-specific CAR T lymphocytes specifically recognize and induce selective toxicity in TnMUC1-expressing tumor cells. TnMUC1 is overexpressed in certain tumor types.
