Part:BBa_K2549001
suface-expressed CD19
Surface-expressed CD19 (surCD19) is built by joining CD8α signal peptide, CD19 extracellular domain and the transmembrane region of PDGFRβ (from N terminal to C terminal). Additional HA tag on its N terminal and a Myc tag on its C terminal to facilitate detection by antibodies[1]. CD8α peptide guides synthesized fusion protein to pass the translocon[2] into the endoplasmic reticulum[3], and the fusion protein will be later sugar modified in Golgi[4], presented on the plasma membrane and located to the outside of the cell. Transmembrane region of PDGFRβ embeds surCD19 on the membrane. It was used as the antigen for Part:BBa_K2549005.

Biology
Clinical significance of CD19
As summarized on wikipedia page[5]: B-lymphocyte antigen CD19, also known as CD19 molecule (Cluster of Differentiation 19), B-Lymphocyte Surface Antigen B4, T-Cell Surface Antigen Leu-12 and CVID3 is a transmembrane protein that in humans is encoded by the gene CD19. In humans, CD19 is expressed in all B lineage cells, except for plasma cells, and in follicular dendritic cells. CD19 plays two major roles for B cells: (1) it acts as an adaptor protein to recruit cytoplasmic signaling proteins to the membrane; (2) it works within the CD19/CD21 complex to decrease the threshold for B cell receptor signaling pathways. Due to its presence on all B cells, it is a biomarker for B lymphocyte development, lymphoma diagnosis and can be utilized as a target for leukemia immunotherapies.
CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy[6]: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) remains difficult to treat, with minimal improvement in more than 2 decades. Adoptive transfer of T cells engineered to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) has emerged as a powerful targeted immunotherapy. Complete remission rates as high as 90% have been reported in children and adults with relapsed and refractory ALL treated with CAR-modified T cells targeting the B-cell–specific antigen CD19.
