CD20

Next Day 2 - 8°C

CD20 is a 33-37 kD transmembrane-spanning phosphoprotein that facilitates optimal B-cell immune response against T-independent antigens. It can exist in a complex with MHC class I, MHC class II, CD53, CD81, and CD82. However, CD20 can also form homo-oligomers. It has been suggested that homo-oligomerization of CD20 forms calcium ion channels in the plasma membrane of B cells. CD20 can be useful in diagnosing B-cell lymphomas and leukaemias, and is the target of mAbs in the treatment of all B cell lymphomas, leukemias, and B cell-mediated autoimmune diseases. Interestingly, studies show a link between the immune system's B cells and diabetes mellitus in which anti-CD20 antibodies rendered the T cell antibodies dysfunctional and, hence, unable to cause insulin desensitivity by a B cell antibody-modulated autoimmune response.

IHC (Frozen) The suggested concentration for this 2h7 antibody in IHC staining on frozen tissue is ≤ 5.0 - 10 μg per ml. Titration of the reagent is recommended for optimal performance for each application.

Clone 2H7 recognizes an epitope on human CD20.

0.5 mg/ml

CD20 is present on human pre B lymphocytes and on B lymphocytes, except on plasma cells, and is expressed in tandem with surface IgM. It is also expressed in some follicular dendritic cells and at low levels on a T cell subset.

Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications. See directions on lot specific datasheets, as information may periodically change.
