Features of Human CD3+CD20+ T Cells Published July 13, 2016, doi:10.4049/jimmunol.1600089 The Journal of Immunology Features of Human CD3+CD20+ T Cells Elisabeth Schuh,*,† Kerstin Berer,‡ Matthias Mulazzani,x,{ Katharina Feil,x Ingrid Meinl,* Harald Lahm,‖ Markus Krane,‖,# Rudiger€ Lange,‖,# Kristina Pfannes,** Marion Subklewe,** Robert Gurkov,€ †† Monika Bradl,† Reinhard Hohlfeld,*,‡‡ Tania Kumpfel,*€ Edgar Meinl,*,1 and Markus Krumbholz*,1,2 Monoclonal Abs against CD20 reduce the number of relapses in multiple sclerosis (MS); commonly this effect is solely attributed to depletion of B cells. Recently, however, a subset of CD3+CD20+ T cells has been described that is also targeted by the anti-CD20 mAb rituximab. Because the existence of cells coexpressing CD3 and CD20 is controversial and features of this subpopulation are poorly understood, we studied this issue in detail. In this study, we confirm that 3–5% of circulating human T cells display CD20 on their surface and transcribe both CD3 and CD20. We report that these CD3+CD20+ T cells pervade thymus, bone marrow, and secondary lymphatic organs. They are found in the cerebrospinal fluid even in the absence of inflammation; in the cerebrospinal fluid of MS patients they occur at a frequency similar to B cells. Phenotypically, these T cells are enriched in CD8+ and CD45RO+ memory cells and in CCR72 cells. Functionally, they show a higher frequency of IL-4–, IL-17–, IFN-g–, and TNF-a–producing cells compared with T cells lacking CD20. CD20-expressing T cells respond variably to immunomodulatory treatments given to MS patients: they are reduced by fingolimod, alemtuzumab, and dimethyl fumarate, whereas natalizumab disproportionally increases them in the blood. After depletion by rituximab, they show earlier and higher repopulation than CD20+ B cells. Taken together, human CD3+CD20+ T cells pervade lymphatic organs and the cerebrospinal fluid, have a strong ability to produce different cytokines, and respond to MS disease modifying drugs. The Journal of Immunology, 2016, 197: 000–000. argeting CD20 with depleting mAbs is an approved marker. In fact, CD20 is expressed during B cell development and therapy in rheumatic diseases (1) and is promising in maturation from pre-B cells to plasmablasts (5, 6).

  • Bispecific CAR-T Cells Targeting Both CD19 and CD22 for Therapy Of
    Dai et al. Journal of Hematology & Oncology (2020) 13:30 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13045-020-00856-8 RAPID COMMUNICATION Open Access Bispecific CAR-T cells targeting both CD19 and CD22 for therapy of adults with relapsed or refractory B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia Hanren Dai1,2,3†, Zhiqiang Wu1†, Hejin Jia2†, Chuan Tong1, Yelei Guo1, Dongdong Ti1, Xiao Han1, Yang Liu4, Wenying Zhang2, Chunmeng Wang2, Yajing Zhang2, Meixia Chen2, Qingming Yang2, Yao Wang1* and Weidong Han1,2* Abstract Background: Despite the impressive complete remission (CR) induced by CD19 CAR-T cell therapy in B-ALL, the high rate of complete responses is sometimes limited by the emergence of CD19-negative leukemia. Bispecific CAR-modified T cells targeting both CD19 and CD22 may overcome the limitation of CD19-negative relapse. Methods: We here report the design of a bispecific CAR simultaneous targeting of CD19 and CD22. We performed a phase 1 trial of bispecific CAR T cell therapy in patients with relapsed/refractory precursor B-ALL at a dose that ranged from 1.7 × 106 to 3 × 106 CAR T cells per kilogram of body weight. Results: We demonstrate bispecific CD19/CD22 CAR T cells could trigger robust cytolytic activity against target cells. MRD-negative CR was achieved in 6 out of 6 enrolled patients. Autologous CD19/CD22 CAR T cells proliferated in vivo and were detected in the blood, bone marrow, and cerebrospinal fluid. No neurotoxicity occurred in any of the 6 patients treated. Of note, one patient had a relapse with blast cells that no longer expressed CD19 and exhibited diminished CD22 site density approximately 5 months after treatment.

This novel Exo-CD19 CAR is cytotoxic for CD19-positive leukemia B-cells without interfering with cytotoxicity in CD19-negative cells. This innovation can be translated into broader clinical applications as CD19 CAR exosome-based nano-immunotherapy for B-cell leukemia instead of whole CD19 CAR T-cell immunotherapy. Abstract: CAR-T cell therapy is not without some clinical adverse effects, namely cytokine storms, due to a massive release of cytokines when CAR-T cells multiply in the body. Our goal was to develop exosomes expressing CD19 CAR to treat CD19-positive B-cell malignancies, instead of using whole CD19 CAR-T cells, thereby reducing the clinical risk of uncontrolled cytokine storms. Exosomes are Citation: Haque, S.; Vaiselbuh, S.R. extracellular nanovesicles (30–150 nm), composed of lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, that carry the CD19 Chimeric Antigen fingerprint of their parent cells. Exosomes are a preferred delivery system in nano-immunotherapy.

  • T Cells the Usual Subsets
    T cells: the usual subsets Chen Dong and Gustavo J. Martinez T cells have important roles in immune responses and function by directly secreting soluble mediators or important for adaptation of immune responses in different microenvironments and might be particularly through cell contact-dependent mechanisms. Many T cell subsets have been characterized. Although relevant for host defence against pathogens that colonize different tissues. Distinct T cell subsets, or effector T cells were originally considered to be terminally differentiated, a growing body of evidence has differentiation states, can be identified based on the cell surface markers expressed and/or the effector challenged this view and suggested that the phenotype of effector T cells is not completely fixed but is molecules produced by a particular T cell population. This Poster summarizes our current understanding of more flexible or plastic. T cells can have ‘mixed’ phenotypes (that is, have characteristics usually the surface markers, transcriptional regulators, effector molecules and functions of the different T cell associated with more than one T cell subset) and can interconvert from one subset phenotype to another, subsets that participate in immune responses. Further knowledge of how these T cell subsets are regulated IMMUNOLOGY although instructive signalling can lead to long-term fixation of cytokine memory. T cell plasticity can be and cooperate with each other will provide us with better tools to treat immune-related diseases. Cytotoxic T cell Exhausted T cell

Coverage Indications, Limitations, and/or Medical Necessity Flow cytometry (FCM) is a complex process to examine blood, body fluids, CSF, bone marrow, lymph node, tonsil, spleen and other solid tissues. The use of peripheral blood and fine needle aspirate material avoids more invasive procedures for diagnosis. A flow cytometer evaluates the physical and/or chemical characteristics of single cells as the cells pass individually in a fluid stream through a measuring device. Surface receptors, intracellular molecules, and DNA bind with fluorescent dyes that allow detection and evaluation. When light of one wave length excites electrons of certain chemicals to energy levels above their ground state and upon return to ground state emits light of a longer wavelength, fluorescence is produced. A flow cytometer detects cell characteristics by measuring the fluorescence produced by fluorochromes conjugated either directly with cell components or conjugated to antibodies directed against cell components. Indications • Cytopenias and Hypercellular Hematolymphoid Disorders Hematolymphoid neoplasia can present with cytopenias (anemia, leucopenia and/or thrombocytopenia) or elevated leukocyte counts. If medical review and preliminary laboratory testing fails to reveal a cause, bone marrow aspiration and biopsy are indicated to rule out an infiltrative process or a stem cell disorder.

Although CD19 expression is upregulated by CD81, this marker has been poorly investigated and its prognostic value in MM remains unknown. We have analyzed CD81 expression by multiparameter flow cytometry in MM-PCs from 230 MM patients at diagnosis included in the Grupo Espan˜ol de Mieloma (GEM)05465years trial as well as 56 high-risk smoldering MM (SMM). CD81 expression was detected in 45% (103/230) MM patients, and the detection of CD81 þ MM-PC was an independent prognostic factor for progression-free (hazard ratio ¼ 1.9; P ¼ 0.003) and overall survival (hazard ratio ¼ 2.0; P ¼ 0.02); this adverse impact was validated in an additional series of 325 transplant-candidate MM patients included in the GEM05 o65 years trial.
