CD38 as a Therapeutic Target High expression on myeloma cells combined with its role in cell signaling suggest CD38 as a potential therapeutic antibody target for treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) 1. Malavasi F, et al. Physiol Rev. 2008;88(3):841-886. 2. Lin P, et al. Am J Clin Pathol. 2004;121(4):482-488. 3. Santonocito AM, et al. Leuk Res. 2004;28(5):469-477. 4. Deaglio S, et al. Leuk Res. 2001;25(1):1-12. 21
Generation of daratumumab Human Ig transgenic mice were immunized with recombinant CD38 protein and CD38-transfected NIH 3T3 cells Generation of hybridomas (fusion of mice spleen/lymph node cells with SP2/0 MM cells) Testing of 42 anti-cd38 mabs in CDC assays only one mab was capable to induce CDC this antibody was selected for further testing=daratumumab
Daratumumab binds to unique epitope (two beta strand-containing amino acids 233-246 and 267-280 of CD38
