Description
Product Overwiew:
Recombinant Human CD20 protein expressed in HEK293 Cells.
Background:
B-lymphocyte antigen CD20 is also known as B-lymphocyte surface antigen B1, Leukocyte surface antigen Leu-16, Membrane-spanning 4-domains subfamily A member 1 and MS4A1, is an activated-glycosylated phosphoprotein expressed on the surface of all B-cells beginning at the pro-B phase (CD45R+, CD117+) and progressively increasing in concentration until maturity. CD20 is expressed on all stages of B cell development except the first and last; it is present from late pro-B cells through memory cells, but not on either early pro-B cells or plasma blasts and plasma cells. It is found on B-cell lymphomas, hairy cell leukemia, B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and melanoma cancer stem cells. CD20/MS4A1may be involved in the regulation of B-cell activation and proliferation. Defects in CD20/MS4A1 are the cause of immunodeficiency common variable type 5 (CVID5). CVID5 is a primary immunodeficiency characterized by antibody deficiency, hypogammaglobulinemia, recurrent bacterial infections and an inability to mount an antibody response to antigen. The defect results from a failure of B-cell differentiation and impaired secretion of immunoglobulins; the numbers of circulating B-cells is usually in the normal range, but can be low.

Features & Benefits:
Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU per µg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.
Usage Notes:
Always centrifuge tubes before opening. It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Human CD20 protein alpha protein using the buffer we provided not less than 100 µg/mL, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Storage instructions:
Lyophilized Human CD20 protein product should be stored desiccated below -20°C. Upon reconstitution, the protein should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -20°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
