Anti-CD20/MS4A1 Antibody Picoband® fluoro488 Vervoeging

CD20, also known as 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. It is mapped to 11q12.2. This gene encodes a member of the membrane-spanning 4A gene family. The function of CD20 is to enable optimal B-cell immune response, specifically against T-independent antigens. It is suspected that CD20 acts as a calcium channel in the cell membrane. What’s more, this protein may be involved in the regulation of B-cell activation and proliferation.
