Blood. 2013 Nov 14;122(20):3397-8. doi: 10.1182/blood-2013-09-526384.

Abstract

In this issue of Blood, Deckert et al make a strong argument in favor of IMGN529, a novel anti-CD37 maytansinoid antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), elegantly showing its activity against B-cell lymphoma in in vitro and in vivo preclinical studies.
