B-lymphocyte-specific membrane protein that plays a role in the regulation of cellular calcium influx necessary for the development, differentiation, and activation of B-lymphocytes (PubMed:12920111, PubMed:3925015, PubMed:7684739). Functions as a store-operated calcium (SOC) channel component promoting calcium influx after activation by the B-cell receptor/BCR (PubMed:12920111, PubMed:18474602, PubMed:7684739).

This mouse monoclonal chimeric antibody has been engineered from a RabMAb parent antibody (Anti-CD20 antibody [EP459Y] ab78237). By necessity, some rabbit sequence is retained as part of the variable domain. When multiplexing with other rabbit-derived antibodies, using cross absorbed Fc-reactive secondary antibodies are recommended.
CD20 also known as MS4A1 or L26 is a membrane-spanning 4-domains subfamily A member 1 protein. It is a non-glycosylated phosphoprotein with a molecular mass of approximately 33-37 kDa. Expressed extensively on the surface of B-cells CD20 plays an important role in B-cell activation and regulation. While CD20 is absent on early pro-B cells and plasma cells its presence increases as B-cells mature. Anti-CD20 antibodies such as 2H7 are commonly used in research and treatment to deplete B-cells due to the target's consistent expression in most stages of B-cell development.
CD20 contributes significantly to calcium ion transport which is essential for the activation process of B-cells. Although CD20 does not belong to a larger protein complex its role centers around forming a calcium channel that allows a sustained influx of calcium into the B-cells. This influx is important for the signaling pathways that govern B-cell activation proliferation and differentiation impacting the immune response efficacy.
CD20 is closely involved in the B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling pathway and the Fc gamma R-mediated phagocytosis pathway. These pathways play vital roles in adaptive immunity and immune response modulation. CD20's interaction with proteins like PI3K during BCR signaling enhances receptor-mediated cellular signals subsequently influencing downstream effectors involved in cell growth and survival of B-cells.
CD20 is strongly linked to certain blood cancers and autoimmune diseases including non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and rheumatoid arthritis. These conditions often exploit aberrant B-cell activity or count. CD20's expression on malignant B-cells in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma makes it an effective target for monoclonal antibody therapies such as rituximab an anti-CD20 antibody. Additionally CD20-targeted therapies can help deplete pathogenic B-cells in rheumatoid arthritis highlighting the protein's relevance in disease treatment.

Immunofluorescence staining of CD20 using ab279298 in Ramos (human Burkitt's lymphoma cell line) cells.
The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5 min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 mins and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at +4°C with ab279298 at 0.2 μg/ml. Cells were then incubated with Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed ab150117, Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).
The secondary only control (bottom row) was not incubated with ab279298 but otherwise processed the same.
Images were acquired with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems TCS SP8) and a single confocal section is shown.
