Abstract
The B-cell surface antigen CD20 is currently the prime target for near-selective treatment of mature B-cell malignancies and a range of reactive B-cell associated disorders (including virus-associated lymphoproliferation or autoimmune conditions). CD20 is strongly and homogeneously expressed on the majority of mature B-cell neoplasms except chronic lymphocytic leukaemia cells, and on all mature reactive B-cells. This review will summarise the modes of action of various reagents targeting CD20. Treatment results following their use in single and combination therapy for B-cell disorders are reviewed.
