Clone GOT214A

(RUO)

Multicolor flow cytometric analysis of CD20 expression on mouse splenocytes. Mouse splenocytes from C57BL/6 mice were preincubated with Mouse BD Fc Block™ (Cat. No. 553141/553142). Cells were stained with APC Rat Anti-Mouse CD45R/B220 antibody (Cat No. 553092/561880) and either PE Rat IgG2a, κ Isotype Control (Cat No. 553930, Left Plot) or PE Rat Anti-Mouse CD20 antibody (Cat No. 567250; Right Plot) at 0.5 ug/test. The bivariate pseudocolor density plots showing correlated expression of CD20 (or Ig Isotype control staining) versus CD45R/B220 signal were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable mouse splenocytes. Flow cytometric analysis was performed using a BD FACSCelesta™ Flow Cytometer System and FlowJo software™. Data shown on this Technical Data Sheet are not lot specific.

Alternative Name: Ly-44; Ms4a1; Ms4a2

Reactivity: Mouse (QC Testing)

Isotype: Rat IgG2a, κ

Immunogen: RBL-1-mCD20 transfected cells

Application: Flow cytometry (Routinely Tested)

Preparation And Storage

Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated to the dye under optimum conditions and unconjugated antibody and free dye were removed.

Recommended Assay Procedures

BD™ CompBeads can be used as surrogates to assess fluorescence spillover (Compensation). When fluorochrome conjugated antibodies are bound to CompBeads, they have spectral properties very similar to cells. However, for some fluorochromes there can be small differences in spectral emissions compared to cells, resulting in spillover values that differ when compared to biological controls. It is strongly recommended that when using a reagent for the first time, users compare the spillover on cell and CompBead to ensure that BD Comp beads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.

Product Notices

Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.

Antibody Details

GOT214A

The GOT214A monoclonal antibody specifically binds to mouse CD20, also known as B-lymphocyte antigen and Bp35. CD20, a member of the MS4A gene family, is a 33-37 kDa protein comprised of four transmembrane spanning regions that present as a homo-oligomeric complexes on the cell surface. CD20 is expressed on most mature B cells but not on plasma cells. During development, CD20 is initially expressed after the induction of CD19 and is co-expressed with IgM during the pre-B to immature B cell transition in bone marrow. Expression of CD20 increases during maturation with almost all mature B cells expressing CD20 at some level. Unlike other B cell antigens, CD20 is not shed or internalized upon antibody binding. CD20 regulates B-cell activation and proliferation. Its ligation promotes transmembrane Ca2+ trafficking.

Format Details

R-Phycoerythrin (PE), is part of the BD family of Phycobiliprotein dyes. This fluorochrome is a multimeric fluorescent phycobiliprotein with excitation maximum (Ex Max) of 496 nm and 566 nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 576 nm. PE is designed to be excited by the Blue (488 nm), Green (532 nm) and Yellow-Green (561 nm) lasers and detected using an optical filter centered near 575 nm (e.g., a 575/26-nm bandpass filter). As PE is excited by multiple lasers, this can result in cross-laser excitation and fluorescence spillover on instruments with various combinations of Blue, Green, and Yellow-Green lasers. Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
