BACKGROUND: CD22 is a B-lineage differentiation antigen that has emerged as a leading therapeutic target in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). PROCEDURE: Properties of CD22 expression relevant to therapeutic targeting were characterized in primary samples obtained from children and young adults with relapsed and chemotherapy refractory B-precursor (pre-B) ALL. RESULTS: CD22 expression was demonstrated in all subjects (n = 163) with detection on at least 90% of blasts in 155 cases. Median antigen site density of surface CD22 was 3,470 sites/cell (range 349-19,653, n = 160). Blasts from patients with known 11q23 (MLL) rearrangement had lower site density (median 1,590 sites/cell, range 349-3,624, n = 20 versus 3,853 sites/cell, range 451-19,653, n = 140; P = <0.0001) and 6 of 21 cases had sub-populations of blasts lacking CD22 expression (22%-82% CD22 +). CD22 expression was maintained in serial studies of 73 subjects, including those treated with anti-CD22 targeted therapy. The levels of soluble CD22 in blood and marrow by ELISA were low and not expected to influence the pharmacokinetics of anti-CD22 directed agents. CONCLUSIONS: These characteristics make CD22 an excellent potential therapeutic target in patients with relapsed and chemotherapy-refractory ALL, although cases with MLL rearrangement require close study to exclude the presence of a CD22-negative blast population.
