CD19
CD19 is a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed on all B-lineage cells throughout B cell development. It’s critically important for B cell function and cell survival and regulates B cell receptor (BCR) signaling. Studies show that CD19 promotes BCR-dependent survival signals in mature B cells and also promotes survival of naïve recirculating B cells.1
CD19 is an attractive target for treatment because it is expressed on the majority of B cell malignancies, with approximately 85% of non-Hodgkin lymphoma cases originating in B cells.2
