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 Protein Microarray Validated is developed to support research in B-cell immunology, lymphoma biology, and antibody specificity assessment.
The MS4A1 gene, located on chromosome 11q12.2, encodes a protein containing four transmembrane domains with cytoplasmic N- and C-terminal regions. CD20 expression begins at the late pre-B-cell stage and continues through mature B cells but is absent on hematopoietic stem cells and plasma cells. This lineage-restricted expression pattern makes CD20 one of the most widely used markers for identifying B-cell populations in lymphoid tissues such as tonsil, spleen, and lymph node.
Functionally, CD20 is associated with the B-cell receptor 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. Dysregulated CD20 expression is observed in B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and other lymphoproliferative disorders. CD20 antibody supports detailed evaluation of CD20 expression in both normal and malignant B-cell populations.
CD20 is also a major therapeutic target in oncology and autoimmune disease. Monoclonal antibodies directed against CD20 are widely used to induce B-cell depletion through complement activation, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, and apoptotic mechanisms. Investigation of CD20 expression levels and antigen modulation remains important for understanding treatment response and resistance.
This clone (MS4A1/4655) has been validated using a high-density protein microarray platform to assess specificity against a broad panel of human proteins. Protein microarray validation supports confidence in selective CD20 recognition and minimizes risk of off-target binding in research applications. CD20 Antibody Protein Microarray Validated provides a robust reagent for studies requiring high specificity in translational and basic immunology research.
Optimal dilution of the CD20 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A portion of amino acids 266-297 from the cytoplasmic domain was used as the immunogen for the CD20 antibody.
Aliquot the CD20 antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
