NIH Websites Are Changing
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.

NGFR-transduced autologous T lymphocytes

A preparation of autologous, genetically modified T lymphocytes that are expressing the tumor-associated antigen (TAA) nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR; p75 neurotrophin receptor; p75(NTR); CD271), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon isolation, transduction, expansion ex vivo, and reintroduction into the patient, the NGFR-transduced autologous T lymphocytes may induce an immune response and may kill NGF-expressing tumor cells. Dysregulated NGF signaling may promote proliferation and invasion in certain tumor cell types.
