Generation and functional comparison of anti-CD20 chimeric antigen receptors

open access: yes, 2019
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has proven effective, particularly in targeting relapsed, refractory haematological malignancies. However, optimal CAR design is not fully understood. It is known that the antigen epitope position, affinity of interaction and the length of the CAR construct can all impact function, but these factors often ...

Decoding the Pathophysiology of Autoimmune Diseases—Mechanism, Triggers, and Nanotherapeutics: A Review

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
This review highlights how autoimmune diseases arise from intertwined immunological, genetic, and environmental factors, emphasizing gut microbiota dysbiosis as a pivotal driver. It outlines emerging nanotechnology‐based strategies—such as liposomes, hydrogels, and polymeric nanoparticles—that enhance targeted drug delivery, minimize systemic toxicity,

Sjögren Disease—B Cells at the Brink: From Autoimmunity to Lymphomagenesis and the Rise of Novel B Cell–Targeted Therapies

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Sjögren disease (SjD) is a common systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammation of the exocrine glands, resulting in dryness. Patients frequently exhibit extraglandular manifestations affecting various organ systems. To date, there are no US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)‐approved disease‐modifying therapies for SjD. In this review, we

Data from T Cells Expressing CD19/CD20 Bispecific Chimeric Antigen Receptors Prevent Antigen Escape by Malignant B Cells

open access: yes, 2023
<div>Abstract<p>The adoptive transfer of T cells expressing anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) has shown remarkable curative potential against advanced B-cell malignancies, but multiple trials have also reported patient relapses due to the emergence of CD19-negative leukemic cells.

Lifelong Evolution of Autoreactive Plasma Cell Numbers, Affinity, and Anatomic Location in Arthritic K/BxN Mice

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective The spontaneous K/BxN mouse model of rheumatoid arthritis has been used extensively to study chronic inflammation, contribution of immune cells, and the primordial role of autoreactive antibodies in disease initiation and severity. Only the ubiquitous enzyme glucose‐6‐phosphate isomerase (GPI) is the target of IgG autoantibodies secreted by ...

CD7 Positive Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Arising in a Background of Follicular Lymphoma: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

open access: yesCase Reports in Hematology, 2016
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a neoplasm of large B-lymphocytes with a diffuse growth pattern. The neoplastic cells express B-cell markers such as CD20 and PAX-5 and there may be coexpression of BCL-2, BCL-6, CD10, and MUM-1.

Design of a Water-Soluble CD20 Antigen with Computational Epitope Scaffolding

open access: yes
AbstractThe poor solubility of integral membrane proteins in water frequently hinders studies with these proteins, presenting challenges for structure determination and binding screens. For instance, the transmembrane protein CD20, which is an important target for treating B-cell malignancies, is not soluble in water and cannot be easily screened ...
