Popis: Deregulation of B-cell proliferation may induce malignant growth causing various lymphoproliferative disorders including the most prevalent hematological malignancies in adult, namely lymphoma, multiple myeloma (MM) and B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.1 Inducing depletion through an apoptotic pathway or inhibiting B-cell proliferation and differentiation constitutes a rational approach to cure B-cell-mediated disorders. One such modality used recently in B-cell malignancies is rituximab, a B-cell-depleting monoclonal antibody against CD20.2 Nevertheless, efforts to identify novel therapeutic targets remain essential.
