Antibody DetailsProduct DetailsReactive Species Human Host Species Mouse Recommended Isotype Controls Recommended Isotype Controls Recommended Dilution Buffer Immunogen Human tonsillar B cells Product Concentration ≥ 5.0 mg/ml Endotoxin Level < 1.0 EU/mg as determined by the LAL method Purity ≥95% monomer by analytical SEC ⋅ >95% by SDS Page Formulation This monoclonal antibody is aseptically packaged and formulated in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline (150 mM NaCl) PBS pH 7.2 - 7.4 with no carrier protein, potassium, calcium or preservatives added. Due to inherent biochemical properties of antibodies, certain products may be prone to precipitation over time. Precipitation may be removed by aseptic centrifugation and/or filtration. Product Preparation Functional grade preclinical antibodies are manufactured in an animal free facility using in vitro cell culture techniques and are purified by a multi-step process including the use of protein A or G to assure extremely low levels of endotoxins, leachable protein A or aggregates. Storage and Handling Functional grade preclinical antibodies may be stored sterile as received at 2-8°C for up to one month. For longer term storage, aseptically aliquot in working volumes without diluting and store at ≤ -70°C. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles.

Background CD20 is a 33-37 kD transmembrane-spanning phosphoprotein that facilitates optimal B-cell immune response against T-independent antigens. It can exist in a complex with MHC class I, MHC class II, CD53, CD81, and CD82. However, CD20 can also form homo-oligomers. It has been suggested that homo-oligomerization of CD20 forms calcium ion channels in the plasma membrane of B cells. CD20 can be useful in diagnosing B-cell lymphomas and leukemias, and is the target of mAbs in the treatment of all B cell lymphomas, leukemias, and B cell-mediated autoimmune diseases. Interestingly, studies show a link between the immune system's B cells and diabetes mellitus in which anti-CD20 antibodies rendered the T cell antibodies dysfunctional and, hence, unable to cause insulin desensitivity by a B cell antibody-modulated autoimmune response. Antigen Distribution CD20 is present on human pre B lymphocytes and on B lymphocytes, except on plasma cells, and is expressed in tandem with surface IgM. It is also expressed in some follicular dendritic cells and at low levels on a T cell subset.

It may occasionally generate incorrect or incomplete responses. Please do not rely solely on its recommendations when making purchasing decisions or designing experiments. The clone 2H7, a mouse anti-human CD20 antibody, is primarily used to recognize and bind to the CD20 antigen on human B cells. While specific details on its use in in vivo mouse studies might not be directly stated, researchers could potentially use this antibody in models where human B cells are present, such as humanized mice. Humanized mice are engineered to carry human immune cells, including B cells, which could be targeted by the 2H7 antibody for studying B-cell biology or diseases like B-cell lymphomas. In studies involving humanized mice, the 2H7 antibody could be employed to:
However, for direct in vivo studies in mice, researchers would need to ensure that the antibody does not cross-react with mouse CD20 (which is not specified in the provided sources) or that the mouse model contains human B cells that express CD20. The correct storage temperature for sterile packaged clone 2H7 (anti-human CD20 antibody) is 2°C to 8°C (approximately 36°F to 46°F). Storage Guidelines for Clone 2H7Recommended Temperature Range: All sources consistently specify that this antibody should be stored between 2°C and 8°C. This refrigerated temperature range maintains the antibody's stability and binding capacity while preventing degradation. Additional Storage Considerations: The antibody should be protected from prolonged exposure to light and must not be frozen. For optimal storage conditions, keep the antibody solution undiluted in its original formulation. Alternative Storage OptionsFor different storage durations, Bio-Rad recommends aliquoting the antibody and storing at -20°C upon receipt. However, this appears to be specific to their preparation and packaging, while the standard sterile packaged versions consistently specify the 2-8°C range. The phosphate-buffered solution formulation with 0.09% sodium azide preservative helps maintain stability at the recommended refrigerated temperature. This preservative system is specifically designed to prevent microbial growth while maintaining antibody integrity during storage. Some of the most commonly used antibodies or proteins alongside 2H7 in the literature include rituximab, F8, and isotype control antibodies. The choice depends on the antigen, experimental design, and biological application. Below are context-specific details according to distinct uses of 2H7:
Summary table:
These are the most commonly documented antibodies/proteins paired with 2H7 for comparative, control, or multi-targeting purposes in published biomedical research. Clone 2H7 is a mouse monoclonal antibody that specifically recognizes the human CD20 cell surface antigena 33-37 kDa non-glycosylated phosphoprotein present on normal and malignant B cells. Key findings from scientific literature using clone 2H7 can be summarized as follows:
These findings affirm clone 2H7s central role in B-cell biology research, therapeutic antibody engineering, and clinical diagnostics related to CD20. References & Citations1. Stashenko, P. et al.
