CLL cells proliferate faster than originally appreciated ~0.1% - ~2% of the clone divides daily
Higher birth rates correlated with disease activity, and therefore appear to be a key factor in disease outcome Calculated in vivo deaths rates are often comparable or only slightly unbalanced. Thus it is the rate of growth – not necessarily the absolute lymphocyte change – that is the crucial variable in clinical course.

What can these studies tell us?
Birth and death/elimination rates of CLL clones
Means to indirectly identify cells that have most recently been born/divided in patients
Intraclonal cell fractions containing more cells with 2H- labeled DNA are enriched for the most recently replicated/born cells

Hypotheses used to define the membrane phenotype of the “proliferative fraction (PF)”
1. Cells that were stimulated to divide will express “activation markers” on their cell surfaces. CD5 is an activation antigen on human B lymphocytes
2. Cells from the blood that have recently left a solid lymphoid niche will have a chemokine display that supports emigration. Low CXCR4 levels are on recent tissue emigrants
3. Therefore, the fraction of circulating CLL cells with a CD5Bright and a CXCR4Dim phenotype will be enriched in recently-divided and recently-emigrated cells.

Important concepts and questions:
The CXCR4DimCD5Bright “Proliferative Fraction” represents, also exclusively, post-mitotic/recently divided cells – NOT dividing cells This fraction resembles and differs in some respects from the cycling fraction in lymph nodes, e.g., not a dominant BCR-related gene expression pattern but more of a trafficking, post-replicative fraction Therefore, more work is needed to define more precisely in “Cycling Fraction” by isolating and characterizing the CXCR4DimCD5Bright fraction of lymph nodes
![Page 17: CLL cell dynamics · 2019. 12. 12. · C Calissano et al. Mol Med 7: 1374, 2011 . CXCR4DimCD5Bright defines the proliferative fraction in blood, lymph node, and bone marrow TM Herndon](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081619/60fbcfc474a31265600680ad/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The fraction of dividing cells is ~ 0.1 – 4.0% of the clonal load per day
Why should we be concerned with
such a small fraction of the clone?

Life cycle of a CLL cell
Cells in the Proliferative Fraction (PF) lead to disease progression because of the ability to:
interact with and activate T cells
cause a Th2 polarization bias, resulting in not only survival signals but also in dampening of anti-tumor cytolytic responses
produce activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can each cause DNA mutations and deletions and thereby lead to new mutations throughout the genome

Anti-CD52: Alemtuzumab/Campath
Highly effective at eliminating CLL B cells, even in the setting of disease relapse or therapeutic unresponsiveness
Also eliminates other, non-leukemic cells expressing CD52 necessary for immune function, leading to severe immune deficiency and infections
Removed from the CLL market because of these life-threatening side effects
Could the action and effectiveness of Alemtuzumab/Campath be persevered and its broad reactivity restricted to provide an efficient and safe therapy?
Could an effective and safe form of Alemtuzumab/Campath be used to eliminate those cells responsible for clonal evolution or disease relapse?

Question and approach
Could one engineer a therapeutic antibody with dual specificities for CD52 and for a B-cell restricted epitope (e.g., CD20) that would bind to and eliminate selectively B cells but not normal T cells and myeloid cells?
Would the B-cell reactivity be preferential for those cells responsible for clonal evolution and expanding during disease relapse?

Summary
A CD52 x CD20 bispecific antibody (biAb) based on alemtuzumab and rituximab:
1. preferentially bound CD52+CD20+ B cells and not
CD52+CD20- T cells 2. mediated potent CDC and ADCC in vitro 3. selectively eliminated leukemic B cells and
preferentially eliminated the proliferative fraction of malignant B cells, in a patient-derived xenograft model

Major unanswered question
Would repetitive pulse therapies targeting dividing and recently divided cells be able to eliminate/markedly decrease the proliferative fraction and cycling fraction and thereby prevent clonal progression?
Would a combination of therapeutic approaches targeting each of the three CXCR4/CD5 fractions by valuable and cost effective?
