CD20 Antibody [CDLA20-1]

Cancer, Immunology, Signal Transduction

Flow Cytometry: 0.5-1 ug/million cells

IF: 0.5-1 ug/ml

Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 0.5-1 ug/ml for 30 minutes at RT (1)

Prediluted format : incubate for 30 min at RT (2)

Titering of the CD20 antibody may be required for optimal performance.

1. FFPE testing requires sections to be boiled in pH6 10mM citrate buffer for 10-20 minutes, followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes, prior to staining.
2. 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.

CD20 is a non-Ig differentiation antigen of B-cells and its expression is restricted to normal and neoplastic B-cells, being absent from all other leukocytes and tissues. It is expressed by pre B-cells and persists during all stages of maturation but is lost upon terminal differentiation into plasma cells. The protein passes through the membrane 4 times with both ends in cytoplasm and exposes one short and one longer loop to the external environment. It acts as a calcium channel involved in B-cell activation and cell cycle progression.
