The CD CD8 CD8 nomenclature was developed and is maintained through the HLDA (Human Leukocyte Differentiation Antigens) workshop started in 1982. CD45R/B220 CD19 CD19 The goal is to provide standardization of monoclonal antibodies to B Cell CD20 CD22 (B cell activation marker) human antigens across laboratories. To characterize or “workshop” the antibodies, multiple laboratories carry out blind analyses of antibodies. These results independently validate antibody specificity. CD11c CD11c Dendritic Cell CD123 CD123 While the CD nomenclature has been developed for use with human antigens, it is applied to corresponding mouse antigens as well as antigens from other species. However, the mouse and other species NK Cell CD56 CD335 (NKp46) antibodies are not tested by HLDA. Human CD markers were reviewed by the HLDA.

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. Receptor-Exosome Targets CD19 Here, HEK293T parent cells were transduced with CD19 CAR plasmids and cellular CD19 CAR Positive B-lineage Acute Lymphocytic expression was confirmed. -

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. -
Engineering Strategies to Enhance TCR-Based Adoptive T Cell Therapy
cells Review Engineering Strategies to Enhance TCR-Based Adoptive T Cell Therapy Jan A. Rath and Caroline Arber * Department of oncology UNIL CHUV, Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research Lausanne, Lausanne University Hospital and University of Lausanne, 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 18 May 2020; Accepted: 16 June 2020; Published: 18 June 2020 Abstract: T cell receptor (TCR)-based adoptive T cell therapies (ACT) hold great promise for the treatment of cancer, as TCRs can cover a broad range of target antigens. Here we summarize basic, translational and clinical results that provide insight into the challenges and opportunities of TCR-based ACT. We review the characteristics of target antigens and conventional αβ-TCRs, and provide a summary of published clinical trials with TCR-transgenic T cell therapies. We discuss how synthetic biology and innovative engineering strategies are poised to provide solutions for overcoming current limitations, that include functional avidity, MHC restriction, and most importantly, the tumor microenvironment. We also highlight the impact of precision genome editing on the next iteration of TCR-transgenic T cell therapies, and the discovery of novel immune engineering targets. We are convinced that some of these innovations will enable the field to move TCR gene therapy to the next level. Keywords: adoptive T cell therapy; transgenic TCR; engineered T cells; avidity; chimeric receptors; chimeric antigen receptor; cancer immunotherapy; CRISPR; gene editing; tumor microenvironment 1. Introduction Adoptive T cell therapy (ACT) with T cells expressing native or transgenic αβ-T cell receptors (TCRs) is a promising treatment for cancer, as TCRs cover a wide range of potential target antigens [1]. -
Focused Transcription from the Human CR2/CD21 Core Promoter Is Regulated by Synergistic Activity of TATA and Initiator Elements in Mature B Cells

All rights reserved 1672-7681/15 $32.00 www.nature.com/cmi RESEARCH ARTICLE Focused transcription from the human CR2/CD21 core promoter is regulated by synergistic activity of TATA and Initiator elements in mature B cells Rhonda L Taylor1,2, Mark N Cruickshank3, Mahdad Karimi2, Han Leng Ng1, Elizabeth Quail2, Kenneth M Kaufman4,5, John B Harley4,5, Lawrence J Abraham1, Betty P Tsao6, Susan A Boackle7 and Daniela Ulgiati1 Complement receptor 2 (CR2/CD21) is predominantly expressed on the surface of mature B cells where it forms part of a coreceptor complex that functions, in part, to modulate B-cell receptor signal strength. CR2/CD21 expression is tightly regulated throughout B-cell development such that CR2/CD21 cannot be detected on pre-B or terminally differentiated plasma cells. CR2/CD21 expression is upregulated at B-cell maturation and can be induced by IL-4 and CD40 signaling pathways. We have previously characterized elements in the proximal promoter and first intron of CR2/CD21 that are involved in regulating basal and tissue-specific expression. We now extend these analyses to the CR2/CD21 core promoter. We show that in mature B cells, CR2/CD21 transcription proceeds from a focused TSS regulated by a non-consensus TATA box, an initiator element and a downstream promoter element. Furthermore, occupancy of the general transcriptional machinery in pre-B versus mature B-cell lines correlate with CR2/CD21 expression level and indicate that promoter accessibility must switch from inactive to active during the transitional B-cell window. -
