Background
Elotuzumab is a monoclonal antibody directed against the SLAMF7 receptor. Elotuzumab has no significant antimyeloma activity when given as a single agent with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Elotuzumab results in improved response and outcome when combined with other antimyeloma agents.• SLAMF7 is critical for phagocytosis of haematopoietic tumour cells via Mac-1 integrin., PMID:28424516• 2B4 (CD244, SLAMF4) and CS1 (CD319, SLAMF7) in systemic lupus erythematosus and cancer., PMID:30347240• CS1, a SLAM family receptor involved in immune regulation, is a therapeutic target in multiple myeloma., PMID:23731618• CS1 (CRACC, CD319) induces proliferation and autocrine cytokine expression on human B lymphocytes., PMID:17878365• The multifaceted role of CS1 (SLAMF7) in immunoregulation: Implications for cancer therapy and autoimmune disorders., PMID:40073958• Hematologic Malignancies: Plasma Cell Disorders., PMID:28561703• Clinical potential of SLAMF7 antibodies - focus on elotuzumab in multiple myeloma., PMID:28356715• 2B4 (CD244) and CS1: novel members of the CD2 subset of the immunoglobulin superfamily molecules expressed on natural killer cells and other leukocytes., PMID:11513145• Preclinical activity of allogeneic SLAMF7-specific CAR T-cells (UCARTCS1) in multiple myeloma., PMID:39060023• Update on elotuzumab, a novel anti-SLAMF7 monoclonal antibody for the treatment of multiple myeloma., PMID:27533882
