CD20 antibody recognizes CD20, also known as Membrane spanning 4-domains subfamily A member 1, a B-cell specific transmembrane phosphoprotein encoded by the MS4A1 gene. CD20 is localized to the plasma membrane of B lymphocytes, where it regulates B-cell activation, proliferation, and calcium signaling. CD20 Antibody Mouse Monoclonal is widely used in research and diagnostic investigations focused on B-cell identification and lymphoma characterization.
The MS4A1 gene is located on chromosome 11q12.2 and encodes a protein with four transmembrane domains and short cytoplasmic N- and C-terminal tails. CD20 expression begins at the late pre-B-cell stage and persists through mature B cells but is absent on hematopoietic stem cells and terminally differentiated plasma cells. This restricted expression pattern makes CD20 one of the most reliable markers for identifying B-cell lineage in lymphoid tissues such as tonsil, spleen, lymph node, and bone marrow.
Functionally, CD20 associates with the B-cell receptor signaling complex and contributes to calcium influx following antigen stimulation. Although CD20 lacks a defined soluble ligand, it participates in membrane microdomains that regulate signal transduction and B-cell activation. Aberrant CD20 expression is characteristic of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. CD20 Antibody Mouse Monoclonal supports evaluation of CD20 distribution and density in both normal and malignant B-cell populations.
Clone L26 is a well-established mouse monoclonal antibody that recognizes an epitope on CD20 suitable for detecting B cells in formalin-fixed tissues. Because CD20 is retained in most mature B-cell neoplasms, CD20 Antibody Mouse Monoclonal is commonly used in studies of lymphoma classification and immune cell profiling. CD20 is also a major therapeutic target in oncology and autoimmune disease, and assessment of CD20 expression remains important in translational research examining treatment response and resistance.
By targeting a lineage-specific B-cell surface antigen, CD20 Antibody Mouse Monoclonal provides a dependable reagent for investigations into B-cell development, lymphoma biology, and immune regulation.
The concentration stated for each application is a general starting point. Variations in protocols, secondaries and substrates may require the CD20 antibody to be titered up or down for optimal performance.
1. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
Human tonsil B cells were used as the immunogen for this CD20 antibody.
CD20 antibody with azide can be stored at 2-8oC. The azide-free format should be aliquoted and stored at -20oC or colder.
