Background: B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA), also known as tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 17 (TNFRSF17), is a protein encoded by the TNFRSF17 gene. TNFRSF17 is a cell surface receptor of the TNF receptor superfamily that recognizes B-cell activating factor (BAFF). BCMA is preferentially expressed in mature B lymphocytes and also on Multiple Myeloma (MM) cells. CART-BCMA is an autologous T cell product engineered by lentiviral transduction to express a fully human BCMA-specific CAR (chimeric antigen receptor). CAR T cells targeting BCMA have pre-clinical anti-MM activity, and in 2017, the FDA granted BCMA CAR T-Cell immunotherapy breakthrough designation in Multiple Myeloma.
Description: Recombinant clonal stable CHO cell line constitutively expressing full length human BCMA protein, also known as TNFRSF17, (Genbank #NM_001192). Surface expression of BCMA was confirmed by flow cytometry.
