چکیده

We now think of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) as derived from "crippled" germinal center B cells that have frequently acquired rearranged and somatically mutated Ig genes.1,2 Despite their B-cell origin, the malignant Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells have lost most of the superficial trappings of B cells and therefore have been hidden from investigators' lenses for decades, prompting an arduous but persistent race to uncover the mystery of the HRS cell.

[Prognostic significance of CD20 expression in Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells of classical Hodgkin's Lymphoma].

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells of classical Hodgkin's Lymphoma (CHL) express B-cell marker CD20 with a reported frequency of 5%-58%. The prognostic significance of CD20 expression in HRS cells of CHL is still controversial. This study was to investigate the prognostic significance of CD20 expression in naive CHL patients. METHODS The expression of CD20, CD15 and...

Generation of CD20-specific TCRs for TCR gene therapy of CD20low B-cell malignancies insusceptible to CD20-targeting antibodies

Immunotherapy of B-cell leukemia and lymphoma with CD20-targeting monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) has demonstrated clinical efficacy. However, the emergence of unresponsive disease due to low or absent cell surface CD20 urges the need to develop additional strategies. In contrast to mAbs, T-cells via their T-cell receptor (TCR) can recognize not only extracellular but also intracellular antigens i...

Improved outcome when B-cell lymphoma is treated with combinations of immunoliposomal anticancer drugs targeted to both the CD19 and CD20 epitopes.

PURPOSE We have reported previously that successful immunoliposomal drug therapy with liposomal doxorubicin (DXR) against xenograft B-lymphoma models required targeting against an internalizing B-cell antigen, CD19 (P. Sapra and T. M. Allen. Cancer Res 2002;62:7190-4.). Here we compare targeting of immunoliposomal formulations of DXR with vincristine (VCR) targeted against CD19 versus a noninte...

Prognostic significance of CD20 expression in classical Hodgkin lymphoma: a clinicopathological study of 119 cases.

PURPOSE Recent evidence has demonstrated that classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) originates from mature germinal center B cells. However, only approximately 25% of cHLs express the classical B-cell marker CD20. There is very little, and controversial, information on the prognostic significance of CD20 expression in cHL with regard to failure-free (FFS) and overall survival (OS). EXPERIMENTAL DE...

Internalizing antibodies are necessary for improved therapeutic efficacy of antibody-targeted liposomal drugs.

Direct experimental proof has been sought for the hypothesis that liposomal drugs targeted against internalizing epitopes (e.g., CD19) will have higher therapeutic efficacies than those targeted against noninternalizing epitopes (e.g., CD20). Anti-CD19-targeted liposomes were rapidly internalized into human B-lymphoma (Namalwa) cells, whereas those targeted with anti-CD20 were not internalized....
