Abstract
We identified genetic mutations in CD19 and loss of heterozygosity at the time of CD19- relapse to chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) therapy. The mutations are present in the vast majority of resistant tumor cells and are predicted to lead to a truncated protein with a nonfunctional or absent transmembrane domain and consequently to a loss of surface antigen. This irreversible loss of CD19 advocates for an alternative targeting or combination CAR approach.Entities:
