CD38 glycoprotein is a particularly attractive target on malignant plasma cells at all stages of disease and in Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (also called CLL) patients with a poor clinical prognosis. It is highly expressed in lymphoid tumors including multiple myeloma, AIDS-associated lymphomas, and post-transplant lymphoproliferation. In contrast, the molecule is detectable only at very low levels in mature lymphocytes or in nonhematopoietic tissues. Therapeutic Anti-CD38 antibodies (e.g. Daratumumab) can induce strong antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and complement-dependent cytotoxicity to kill tumors.GenScript Human CD38 Antibody (38.H1), mAb, Mouse is produced from a hybridoma resulting from the fusion of SP2/0 myeloma and B-lymphocytes obtained from a mouse immunized with recombinant human CD38.

Target Information

CD38 (NAD+ glycohydrolase) is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein able to induce activation, proliferation and differentiation of mature lymphocytes and mediate apoptosis of myeloid and lymphoid progenitor cells. CD38 functions as a multi-catalytic ectoenzyme serving as ADP-ribosyl cyclase, cyclic ADP-ribose hydrolase and possibly NAD+ glycohydrolase or as a cell surface receptor. Antibodies to CD38 are useful in subtyping of lymphomas and leukemias, detection of plasma cells (i.e. identification of myelomas), and as a marker for activated B and T cells. CD38 participates in cell adhesion, signal transduction and calcium signaling. Further, CD38 is expressed at high levels in the pancreas, liver, kidney, malignant lymphoma and neuroblastoma. Diseases associated with CD38 dysfunction include chronic lymphocytic leukemia and Richter`s Syndrome.
