Access through your institution Buy or subscribe B cell depletion is an effective approach for the treatment of several diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA); however, despite


showing initial promise in the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the B cell depleting anti-CD20 antibody rituximab did not reach the clinical endpoints in two large phase III


clinical trials. Almost a decade later, a promising new approach to B cell depletion in SLE is emerging: CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy. Unlike a standard CAR T


cell approach, the researchers used purified CD8+ T cells to avoid any potential disease-promoting effects that might come from using CD4+ T cells. As a second generation CAR, the CD3ζ C


terminus had been modified to dampen its activity and prevent T cell exhaustion (increasing the persistence of this therapy). This is a preview of subscription content, access via your
