[28] CD38 enzyme results in the formation of the immunosuppressive substance adenosine , so eliminating CD38-containing cells increases the ability of the immune system to eliminate cancer.
Smouldering myeloma is a disease classified as intermediate in a spectrum of step-wise progressive diseases termed plasma cell dyscrasias.
