Background:
The recombinant monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD20, encoded by the MS4A1 (Membrane-spanning 4-domains, subfamily A, member 1) gene. CD20 is a 33-37kDa, unglycosylated four-transmembrane phosphoprotein. CD20 is expressed on pre-B-cells, resting and activated B cells, and follicular dendritic cells, but not plasma cells. Low level CD20 expression is observed on a small subset of normal circulating T lymphocytes. The CD20 molecule is involved in the regulation of B-cell activation and proliferation.
Conjugation:
Purified antibody is conjugated with PE under optimum conditions. The conjugate is purified by size-exclusion chromatography and adjusted for direct use.
Recommended Usage:
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by flow cytometric analysis. The amount of the reagent is suggested to be used 10 µ of antibody per test (million cells in 100 µL staining volume ). Since applications vary, the appropriate dilutions must be determined for individual use.
Excitation Laser:
Blue Laser (488 nm) Green Laser (532 nm)/Yellow-Green Laser (561 nm)
