The cytotoxic activity of the ADC was evaluated against Raji (human B-cell lymphoma; CD20-positive) and MOLT-4 (T lymphoblast; acute lymphoblastic leukemia; CD20-negative) cell lines.
CD19 and CD20 antigen loss in acute lymphocytic leukemia and chronic lymphocytic leukemia, respectively, and lineage switching in leukemia associated with mixed lineage leukemia (MLL) gene rearrangements are well-documented evidences in this regard.
CD20 expression has no prognostic role in Philadelphia-negative B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia: new insights from the molecular study of minimal residual disease.
There was no significant difference in the presence of central nervous system disease, CD20 or myeloid antigen positivity on the blasts or percent circulating blasts in B-lymphoblastic leukemia with RUNX1 amplification versus other B-lymphoblastic leukemia types.
We report on a case of a 30-year-old male with acute B-lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) with immunophenotype CD19(+), CD22(+), CD20(+), CD10(+), with aberrant expression of CD13 and CD117, and IgH gene rearrangements.
We have investigated the case of a patient with Philadelphia chromosome-positive and CD20+ acute lymphocytic leukemia who acquired resistance to imatinib and rituximab.
