  "term": "autologous anti-GPC3 CAR T lymphocytes JWAT204",
  "field": "Oncology and biomedicine",
  "definition": "A preparation of autologous T lymphocytes that have been genetically modified to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specific for glypican-3 (GPC3), with potential immunostimulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, autologous anti-GPC3 CAR T lymphocytes JWAT204 specifically target and bind to GPC3-expressing tumor cells, resulting in tumor cell lysis. GPC3, a heparan sulfate proteoglycan and a member of the glypican family, is overexpressed on certain tumor cell types while minimally expressed in normal, healthy cells; GPC3 plays an important role in cellular proliferation and differentiation.",
