• Target description: B-lymphocyte antigen CD20 (UniProt: P11836; also known as B-lymphocyte surface antigen B1, Bp35, Leukocyte surface antigen Leu-16, Membrane-spanning 4-domains subfamily A member 1, CD20) is encoded by the MS4A1 (also known as CD20) gene (Gene ID: 931) in human. CD20 is a multi-pass homotetrameric, non-glycosylated membrane protein that is expressed on the surface of normal and malignant B-lymphocytes. Its expression is reportedly initiated at the pre-B cell stage of development and remains present until terminal differentiation into a plasma cell at which time it is lost. It has three cytoplasmic domains, four transmembrane domains, and two extracellular domains. Its both N- and C-termini reside within the cytoplasm. It plays a role in the regulation of cellular calcium influx necessary for the development, differentiation, and activation of B-lymphocytes. It functions as a store-operated calcium channel component. It undergoes phosphorylation by PKC on serine and threonine residues in resting cells and these phosphorylations are reported to be higher in proliferating malignant B cells than in resting cells. CD20 is considered as an important therapeutic target in the treatment of B cell malignancies and various antibodies have been developed that bind to different epitopes. Mutations in MS4A1 gene are known to cause common variable immunodeficiency 5 (CVID5) that is characterized by failure of B-cell differentiation, hypogammaglobulinemia, recurrent bacterial infections, and an inability to mount an antibody response to antigen. This ZooMAbZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

• Physical form: Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.
• Reconstitution: 300 μg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.
• Storage and Stability: Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
