Rituximab is a chimeric monoclonal antibody directed against the CD20 antigen. Treatment using rituximab in combination with chemotherapy has dramatically improved overall survival rate of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Since rituximab can deplete both lymphoma B cells and normal B cells, how rituximab-treatment affects normal B cell function in DLBCL patients under remission is unclear. Here, we examined...
