Abstract
- Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological cancer of the antibody-secreting plasma cells. Despite therapeutic advancements, MM remains incurable due to high incidence of drug-resistant relapse. In recent years, targeted immunotherapies, which take advantage of the immune system's cytotoxic defenses to specifically eliminate tumor cells expressing certain cell surface and intracellular proteins have shown promise in combating this and other B cell hematologic malignancies. A major limitation in the development of these therapies lies in the discovery of optimal candidate targets, which require both high expression in tumor cells as well as stringent tissue specificity.
