CD20 Monoclonal Antibody (QCH6A7), PerCP-eFluor™ 710, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™ 

Description

Description: The monoclonal antibody QCH6A7 reacts with mouse CD20. CD20 is a B cell specific, 32-kDa membrane protein that is expressed on late pro-B cells through memory B cells in the B cell lineage. CD20 is not found on hematopoietic stem cells, early pro-B cells or later mature plasma cells. CD20 is involved in intracellular calcium regulation and plays a role in B cell proliferation. CD20 is intially expressed after the induction of CD19 during development and is coexpressed with IgM during the pre-B to immature B cell transition in bone marrow. Expression of CD20 increases during maturation with almost all mature B cells expressing some level of CD20. Unlike other B cell antigens, CD20 is not shed or internalized upon antibody binding. Monoclonal antibodies against the CD20 antigen may be used to deplete B cells and CD20 has proven to be an effective immunotheraputic target in B cell lymphomas and several autoimmune diseases including rheumatoid arthritis and type I diabetes. CD20 consists of 4 transmembrane domains and a 44 amino acid extracellular domain which contains the QCH6A7 epitope. Staining with clone QCH6A7 provides significantly improved staining intensity compared to clone AISB12 in flow cytometric assays. Applications Reported: This QCH6A7 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This QCH6A7 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse bone marrow cells and mouse splenocytes.

CD20 Monoclonal antibody specifically detects CD20 in Mouse samples. It is validated for Flow Cytometry.
