The Mouse Monoclonal anti-CD20 antibody is suitable to detect CD20 in samples from Human, Baboon, Rhesus Monkey and Cynomolgus. It has been validated for FACS.
The clone 2H7 recognizes the large extracellular loop of human CD20, mapped to the peptide sequence YNCEPANPSEKNSPST. CD20, a 33-36 kDa non-glycosylated type 1 transmembrane protein, is expressed by developing, resting and mature B cells, some follicular dendritic cells, and a small subset of mature T cells. B cell CD20 expression is lost upon differentiation into plasma cells. Functionally, CD20 activation contributes to B cell activation, proliferation, and differentiation
