This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab254189).

Flow cytometry staining of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with ab254189 (right) or Mouse IgG1, kappa monoclonal [15-6E10A7] - Isotype Control (left). PBMCs were incubated for 30 min on ice in 1x PBS containing 10 µg/ml human IgG and 10 % normal goat serum to block FC receptors and non-specific protein-protein interaction followed by the antibody ab254189 or Mouse IgG1, kappa monoclonal [15-6E10A7] - Isotype Control (1x 106 in 100 µl at 1.0 μg/ml (1/500)) for 30min on ice. The cells were simultaneously stained with CD19.

The secondary antibody Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed was incubated at 1/4000 for 30min on ice.

Acquisition of >30000 events were collected using a 50 mW Blue laser (488nm) and 525/40 bandpass filter. Events were gated on live cells.

Flow cytometric analysis of human peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) cells labelling CD20 with ab254189 at 1.11μg/mL (0.1ug) (Right panel) compared with a mouse monoclonal IgG isotype control (Left panel). Goat anti mouse IgG (Alexa Fluor® 488, ab150113) at 1/2000 dilution was used as the secondary antibody. Cells were stained with mouse IgG (Left) or ab254189 (Right). Then stained with anti-CD19 conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 647.

Gated on viable cells.

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.
Biological function summary

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.

Pathways

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.

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).
