Anti-ROR1/CD3 T-cell Engager NVG-111
**Semantic type:** Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein|Immunologic Factor|Pharmacologic Substance
**Definition:** A bispecific antibody and T-cell engager directed against the tumor-associated antigen (TAA) receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1 (ROR1) and the CD3 antigen found on T-lymphocytes, with potential immunostimulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, anti-ROR1/CD3 T-cell engager NVG-111 binds to both CD3 on cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) and ROR1 found on ROR1-expressing tumor cells. This activates and redirects CTLs to ROR1-expressing tumor cells, which results in the CTL-mediated death of ROR1-expressing tumor cells. ROR1, also known as neurotrophic tyrosine kinase, receptor-related 1 (NTRKR1), is expressed during embryogenesis and in many types of hematological malignancies. It plays key roles in tumor cell proliferation and survival.
