The CD19 or Cluster of Differentiation 19, is a human protein that is encoded by the CD19 gene. In other words it is a protein that is told how to act and what to do by the CD19 gene. This specific protein is related to the immune system and more specifically the B cell and follicular dentritic cells. This gene decreases the threshold for stimulation of the cell to react to an antigen, or protein that is foreign to the body.
This also has implications for treatment of the condition. As a result the team used a drug, Leucovorin, a folinic acid derivative, for several months. They found that 81% of the patients reported improvement within two months. Unfortunately, at the conclusion of the study the researchers didn’t perform a cytometry measurement that would have given insight into the clinical efficacy of the drug leaving them only with the functional reports of improvement.

Researchers have found that the CD19 blood test will help to estimate the extent of the chronic fatigue syndrome in the body. And in a study published by Dr. Uckun researchers found that the CD 19 gene plus the IgM cells were deficient in 94% of patients in their study with CFS. It was postulated that it was this immune-deficiency was in part responsible for symptoms of chronic fatigue.This also has implications for treatment of the condition.
