Hypermethylation of CD19 promoter enables antigen-negative escape to CART-19 in vivo and in vitro
1 Aug 2021
Abstract excerpt
Background Anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CART-19) frequently induce remissions in hemato-oncological patients with recurred and/or refractory B-cell tumors. However, malignant cells sometimes escape the immunotherapeutic targeting by CD19 gene mutations, alternative splicing or lineage switch, commonly causing lack of CD19 expression on the surface of neoplastic cells. We assumed that, in addition...
