The past decade witnessed the rapid development of adult B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treatment. Beyond the development of chemotherapy regimens, immunotherapy is starting a new era with unprecedented complete remission (CR) rate. Targeting B-lineage-specific surface markers such as CD19, CD20, CD22, or CD52, immunotherapy has been demonstrating promising clinical results. Among the immunotherapeutic methods, naked monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), bispecific T cell engager (BiTE), and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells are the main types. In this review, we will examine the emerging preclinical and clinical development on (1) anti-CD20 naked mAbs rituximab, ofatumumab, and obinutuzumab; (2) anti-CD19 ADCs SAR3419 and SGN-CD19A and anti-CD19 BiTE blinatumomab; (3) anti-CD22 naked mAb epratuzumab and anti-CD22 ADC inotuzumab ozogamicin; (4) anti-CD52 naked mAb alemtuzumab; and (5) anti-CD19 CAR T cells. We will discuss their efficacy, adverse effects, as well as future development.

Anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR) are a well-established treatment option for children and young adults suffering from relapsed/refractory B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Bridging therapy is used to control disease prior to start of lymphodepletion before CAR infusion and thereby improve efficacy of CAR therapy. However, the effect of different bridging strategies on outcome, side effects and response to CAR therapy is still poorly understood.

Background: Recent genomic research has identified several genetic factors contributing to B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). However, the exact cause of the disease is still not fully understood. It is known that mutations in the TAL2 gene play important roles in the development of acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Objective: Of this study was to analyse the correlation of gene polymorphisms with clinical and laboratory data of paediatric patients with B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukaemia with prognostically unfavourable features.

Methods: A study of 200 children with B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL) treated with polychemotherapy programmes was conducted. Analysis by sex revealed a statistically insignificant predominance of the group of boys over girls (54%).

Purpose: The diagnosis and treatment of B-Lineage Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) typically rely on cytomorphologic analysis of bone marrow smears. However, traditional morphological analysis methods require manual operation, leading to challenges such as high subjectivity and low efficiency. Accurate segmentation of individual cell nuclei is crucial for obtaining detailed morphological characterization data, thereby improving the objectivity and consistency of diagnoses.
