CD19 is a single-pass type I transmembrane protein belonging to the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily (IgSF).  It contains two Ig-like C2-type domains.  CD19 is an important pan B cell marker and co-stimulatory protein involved in growth regulation of B cells. CD19 is expressed only in B cells and follicular dendritic cells of the hematopoietic system. It is present on most pre-B cells and most non-T-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia cells (ALL) and B-cell type chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells (CLL).  CD19 is a co-receptor for the antigen receptor complex on B cells to decrease the threshold for antigen receptor-dependent stimulation. It forms a complex with CD21, CD81 and CD225 in the membrane of B cells. It associates with GRB2 and SOS when activated and phosphorylated on Tyr-348 / Tyr-378. CD19 is a hallmark differentiation antigen of the B cell lineage and positively regulates antigen B-cell receptor (BCR) signal transduction for B cell selection, maturation, and differentiation.  Defects in CD19 are the cause of immunodeficiency common variable type 3 (CVID3), which is characterized by antibody deficiency, hypogammaglobulinemia, recurrent bacterial infections and an inability to mount an antibody response to antigen. The defect results from a failure of B-cell differentiation and impaired secretion of antibody while the numbers of circulating B cells is usually in the normal range, but can be low. The anti-CD19 bispecific antibody recognizes both CD19 and CD3e thus promoting T-cell-mediated anti-tumor activity after engaging with CD19 antigen.
