Abstract: The Signaling Lymphocyte Activation Molecule family (SLAMF) is a collection of nine surface receptors expressed mainly on hematopoietic cells, and was found to modulate the behavior of immune cells. SLAMF receptors are expressed on B cells in health and disease. Each SLAM receptor has a unique differential expression pattern during the development and activation of B cells. Furthermore, recent findings have revealed a principal role for this family of receptors in B cell malignancies, emphasizing their importance in the control of malignant cell survival, cell to cell communication within the tumor microenvironment, retention in the supporting niches and regulation of T cell anti-tumor response. This review summarizes the latest studies regarding SLAMF expression and behavior in B cells and in B cell pathologies, and discusses the therapeutic potential of these receptors.
