Teclistamab (CAS 2309279-45-8; NIOSH HD Category 1) is the first BCMA (B-cell maturation antigen / TNFRSF17 / CD269) × CD3 bispecific T-cell engager antibody ever FDA approved, establishing the 123rd mechanism class in the Glyphward adversarial portfolio. As a DuoBody full-length IgG4 bispecific, teclistamab represents a distinct molecular format from blinatumomab (the tandem scFv BiTE for CD19×CD3 in ALL), targeting the myeloma plasma cell survival receptor BCMA rather than CD19 on B-cell ALL. The MajesTEC-1 Phase 1/2 trial demonstrated ORR 63.0% with sCR 39.4% and mDoR 18.4 months in heavily pretreated R/R MM, the first approval of a BCMA-targeted bispecific. No OEL exists in any EHS framework; no platform references BCMA APRIL/BLyS receptor biology, plasma cell survival signaling, sBCMA shedding pharmacodynamics, CRS/ICANS risk, or the mechanistic distinction from BiTE-format T-cell engagers.

BCMA/TNFRSF17 Biology: Why B-Cell Maturation Antigen Is the Premier Plasma Cell Target
B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA; TNFRSF17; CD269) is a type III transmembrane protein encoded at chromosome 16p13.13, belonging to the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily (TNFRSF). BCMA is the survival receptor for terminally differentiated plasma cells: BCMA binds APRIL (A proliferation-inducing ligand; TNFSF13) with Kd ~0.5 nM and BAFF (B-cell activating factor; TNFSF13B) with Kd ~2 nM → NF-κB, PI3K/Akt, and MAPK signaling → plasma cell survival and proliferation. In multiple myeloma, BCMA is uniformly expressed on malignant plasma cells at high density (median expression >99% of myeloma cells by flow cytometry), making it an ideal tumor-selective target given near-absent expression on hematopoietic progenitors and peripheral blood B-cells. BCMA transmembrane cleavage by γ-secretase produces soluble BCMA (sBCMA) in patient serum; elevated sBCMA at baseline correlates with tumor burden and may act as a decoy for BCMA-directed therapy. The sBCMA shedding mechanism, APRIL/BLyS receptor signaling biology, and the distinction between BCMA bispecific antibodies and BCMA CAR-T cell therapies (idecabtagene vicleucel, ciltacabtagene autoleucel) are entirely absent from every EHS occupational exposure platform.
