Recombinant clonal stable CHO cell line constitutively expressing full length human CD19 protein, also known as B4 or CVID3, (Genbank #NM_001770). Surface expression of CD19 was confirmed by flow cytometry. Each stable clonal cell line was selected for different levels of CD19 [removed]High, Medium, Low) to mimic different stages of cancer target cells with various CD19 expression levels.
Mycoplasma testing: This cell line has been screened using the MycoAlert Mycoplasma Detection Kit (Lonza, #LT07-118) to confirm the absence of Mycoplasma contamination. MycoAlert Assay Control Set (Lonza, #LT07-518) was used as a positive control.
Host Species: hamster
Supplied as Each vial contains ~ 2 x 10^6 cells in 1 ml of 10% DMSO in FBS.
Background
B-lymphocyte antigen CD19 (Cluster of Differentiation 19), also known as B-Lymphocyte Surface Antigen B4 and CVID3, is a transmembrane protein expressed in follicular dendritic cells and all B lineage cells, except plasma cells. CD19 plays two major roles in human B cells. It acts as an adaptor protein to recruit cytoplasmic signaling proteins to the membrane and it works within the CD19/CD21 complex to decrease the threshold for B cell receptor signaling pathways. Due to its presence on all B cells, it is a biomarker for B lymphocyte development and lymphoma diagnosis and can be utilized as a target for leukemia immunotherapies. CD19-targeted therapies based on T cells that express CD19-specific chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) have been utilized for their antitumor abilities in patients with CD19+ lymphoma and leukemia, such as Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma (NHL), CLL and ALL.
Application
Useful as CD19-expressing target cells in co-culture assay with CD19-CAR-T cell, for both CD19-specific cell killing assay and cytokine production assay.
