What is it about?
Expression of CD19 on B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma has identified it as a potential target for immune-based therapies. Various types of CD19 targeted treatments are reviewed and discussed

Why is it important?
Targeted treatments for non-Hodgkin lymphoma often reduce the off-target side effects of conventional chemotherapy, but may cause other unexpected side-effects. These are discussed in this review.
Perspectives
Some CD19 targeting therapies in particular chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) modified T cells have impressive responses in relapsed NHL patients. CAR-T cells therapies are the most promising, with the potential for curing a third of refractory diffuse large B cell NHL patients. If the promise of CAR-T cell technology is confirmed, this will likely change the approach and prognosis for relapse/refractory aggressive lymphoma
