Abstract

Background: CD70 is a tumor necrosis family member that is expressed on a broad spectrum of hematological malignancies including multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin's lymphomas and Hodgkin's disease. In contrast to other immunotherapy targets such as CD19, CD20, or CD33, which are widely expressed in the hematopoietic system, CD70 expression is restricted to a subset of activated B and T cells, reducing potential ‘collateral damage’ when targeted by immunotherapy. Preclinical studies in animal models using monoclonal antibodies have validated CD70 as an immunotherapeutic target and the aim of this study was to generate CD70-specific T cells for adoptive immunotherapy approaches.
