CD19

Summary

CD19 expressed through most stages of B-cell development and is considered a pan b-cell marker i.e. present at early B-cell commitment until plasma cell stage

Normal expression and function

CD19 forms part of the normal B-cell receptor, and plays a major role in the recruiting and activating signalling proteins involved in B-cell activation. it reliably expressed by most normal B lymphocytes and also by follicular dendritic cells. Expression is acquired very early during normal B-cell development and tends to increase as B cells mature before becoming lost during the transition to plasma cells.
