Since SLAMF7 was postulated to be critical for CD47 antibody-mediated phagocytosis and DLBCL was postulated to be a prime target for CD47 antibody therapy, we first determined expression of SLAMF7 in DLBCL cell lines and primary DLBCL cells and found surface expression of SLAMF7 in only 1 of the 7 DLBCL cell lines tested (Fig. 1a, b), with mRNA for SLAMF7 being detected only in 2 out of 7 cell lines (Fig. 1c). This evidence concerns the gene SLAMF7 and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
