Anti-hCD19-CD3 binds to hCD3 on T cells and to hCD19 on B cells
Monoclonal scFv antibody against human CD19 and human CD3
Anti-hCD19-CD3 is a bispecific antibody that recognizes two human cell markers: hCD19, which is expressed on the surface of (malignant) B cells, and hCD3 which is part of the T cell receptor. This antibody features blinatumomab’s single-chain variable fragments (scFv) joined by a glycine-serine linker and a hexahistidine tag (His6). Blinatumomab was approved by the FDA as the second-line treatment of refractory acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) [1].
Key features
- Reacts with human CD19 and human CD3
- ScFv of clinically relevant bispecific mAb blinatumomab
- Hexahistidine (His6) tag
- Provided azide-free
- Each lot is functionally tested
Applications
- Adjustment studies of B cell contact-dependent killing
- Improving T cell activation
InvivoGen also offers an Anti-hBCMA-CD3 bispecific antibody as well as other clinically relevant antibodies and their corresponding isotype controls.

CD19
The cluster of differentiation 19 (CD19) is a transmembrane protein acting as a co-receptor for the B cell receptor (BCR) modulating B lymphocyte differentiation and activation [1]. CD19 is expressed throughout the entire B cell maturation process and can be found in most lymphoid malignancies including acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Therefore, CD19 is an interesting target for the development of experimental therapeutic agents in immunotherapy research [2].
In 2014, the first bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE®) blinatumomab was approved by the FDA as the second line treatment of refractory ALL. By simultaneously binding to hCD3 and hCD19, blinatumomab (AMG103) engages unstimulated T cells to proliferate and exert cytotoxic activity on CD19-positive lymphoma cells [3].
CD3
The cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3, formerly named T3) is a multimeric protein complex consisting of four polypeptides (CD3ε, CD3γ, CD3δ, and CD3ζ) that assemble as three dimers (εγ, εδ, and ζζ) [4]. It is a marker of T cells, which recognizes and participates in the elimination of infected cells and tumor cells through the interaction between the TCR (T cell receptor) on T cells and the MHC-peptide complex on antigen-presenting cells [4-5]. Because of its short cytoplasmic tail, the TCR lacks the ability to signal and requires non-covalent association with the CD3. Upon antigen recognition, the TCR/CD3 complex on T cells triggers downstream intracellular signaling and participates in T cell activation [4].
