    Journal, CAR T-Cell Therapy:  Anti-HLA antibodies in recipients of CD19 versus BCMA-targeted CAR T-cell therapy. (Pubmed Central) -  Mar 14, 2023   
    These data implicate CD19 long-lived plasma cells as an important source for anti-HLA antibodies, a model supported by infrequent HLA sensitization in BCMA-CARTx subjects receiving previous plasma cell-targeted therapies. Thus, plasma cell-targeted therapies may be more effective against HLA antibodies, thereby enabling improved access to organ transplantation and rejection management.

    Stromal cell derived IL6 inhibits the extrinsic apoptotic pathway in multiple myeloma cell lines (Section 35) -  Mar 9, 2022 - Abstract #AACR2022AACR_4767;    
    Clinical trials have shown that BCMA targeted CAR-T therapy induces MM remission in most patients with heavily pretreated relapsed refractory MM; however, the duration of the response has been disappointing...This suggests that soluble factors in the BMM can convert cells from type I to type II (mitochondrial-dependent) death receptor signaling and that inhibiting BMM signals such as IL6 may enhance FASL-induced cell death in MM. However, the data also demonstrate that the role of FAS in CAR-T killing is cell context dependent.
