Abstract: B cell-activating factor receptor(BAFF-R)is relatively stably expressed in various mature B-cell-derived tumors and is involved in maintaining the survival of tumor clones.Compared to traditional targets(such as CD19,etc.),BAFF-R is less likely to lead to immune escape due to antigen downregulation or loss,making it a promising immunotherapy target.In recent years,cellular immunotherapy targeting BAFF-R has gradually moved from experimental research to clinical applications,with chimeric antigen receptor T-cell(CAR-T)therapy emerging as a promising component of immunotherapy for B-cell tumors.This review will systematically elaborate on the biological basis of BAFF-R,the construction strategies of CAR-T,and the early clinical research progress of BAFF-R in various B-cell tumors.

Key words: B cell-activating factor receptor, chimeric antigen receptor T cell, immunotherapy, B cell malignancies
