LMP2-specific T-cell receptor-transduced autologous T lymphocytes

Definition

A preparation of autologous T lymphocytes that have been genetically modified to express a T-cell receptor (TCR) specific for the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) latent membrane protein (LMP) 2, with potential immunomodulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, LMP2-specific TCR-transduced autologous T lymphocytes recognize and bind to LMP2, which may promote cell death and inhibit the growth of tumor cells expressing LMP2. LMP2 is expressed in various EBV-associated malignancies.
