Identification of CD320, SLC44A1 and TNFRSF13B as potential novel therapeutic targets for CAR T-cell therapy in multiple myeloma [PDF]
IntroductionMultiple myeloma (MM) remains incurable despite effective therapies, with most patients eventually relapsing. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has improved treatment options but is limited by antigen escape and lack of durable ...

Association of Blood Group Antigen CD59 with Disease [PDF]
In 2014, the membrane-bound protein CD59 became a blood group antigen. CD59 has been known for decades as an inhibitor of the complement system, located on erythrocytes and on many other cell types. In paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH), a stem cell clone with acquired deficiency to express GPI-anchored molecules, including the complement ...

Six monoclonal antibodies to the CD59 antigen [PDF]
Abstract CD59 defines an N -glycosylated glycoprotein expressed on various hemopoietic cells. It is anchored to the cell membrane by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol linkage and restricts the action of homologous complement.

Immune response and histology of humoral rejection in kidney transplantation
The adaptive immune response forms the basis of allograft rejection. Its weapons are direct cellular cytotoxicity, identified from the beginning of organ transplantation, and/or antibodies, limited to hyperacute rejection by preformed antibodies and not ...

A new blood group antigen is defined by anti‐
BackgroundCD59 is a cell surface glycoprotein of approximately 20 kDa limiting the lytic activity of the terminal complement complex C5b‐9. Although CD59 is known as a red blood cell (RBC) antigen defined by monoclonal antibodies, it so far has not been identified as a blood group antigen, since the description of a human alloantibody was missing.

Frequency of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria in patients attended in Belém, Pará, Brazil
BACKGROUND: Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria is a hematological disease with complex physiopathology. It is genetically characterized by a somatic mutation in the PIG-A gene (phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis, class A), in which the best
