Genetically modified, autologous T-lymphocytes transduced with a retroviral vector encoding a 14g2a.zeta chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) directed against the disialoganglioside GD2, with potential immunomodulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon intravenous administration, the activated T-lymphocytes target the GD2 antigen on tumor cells and selectively kill those cells. The tumor-associated antigen GD2 is overexpressed on the surface of almost all tumors of neuroectodermal origin.
