Acquired resistance to naratuximab emtansine in DLBCL cells. (A-D) MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-dimethyltetrazolium bromide) assay (72 hours) in resistant and parental cells of SU-DHL-2 (A-B) and SU-DHL-4 (C-D) lines. Cell proliferation was evaluated in resistant and parental cells for naratuximab emtansine (Debio-1562) (left panels A and C) and its payload alone DM1 (right panels B and D). Bar plots correspond to IC50 values of resistant (red) and parental (blue) lines. (E-G) All data correspond to at least 3 independent experiments. Surface protein expression of CD37 by FACS in parental and naratuximab emtansine–resistant cell lines. ∗P < .05. MTT, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-dimethyltetrazolium bromide.
