Product Name:Rituximab (Anti-CD20) Biosimilar In Vivo Antibody
Product Code:IVMB0242
Clone:10F381
Protein:CD20
Product Type:Biosimilar Recombinant Human Monoclonal Antibody
Synonyms:B1, S7, Bp35, CVID5, MS4A2, LEU-16, MS4A1, membrane spanning 4-domains A1
Isotype:Human IgG1κ
Reactivity:Human/Rhesus Monkey/Cynomolgus Monkey
Immunogen:Human lymphoblastoid cell line SB.
Applications:FC
Formulation:This biosimilar 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.
Endotoxin Level:< 1.0 EU/mg as determined by the LAL method
Purity:≥95% monomer by analytical SEC
Preparation:Functional grade preclinical antibodies are manufactured in an animal free facility using only In vitro protein free 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 biosimilar 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 -80°C. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles.
Applications:FC
Recommended Usage:FC
The suggested concentration for Rituximab biosimilar antibody for staining cells in flow cytometry is ≤ 0.25 µg per 106 in a volume of 100 µl. Titration of the reagent is recommended for optimal performance for each application.
Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications. See directions on lot specific datasheets, as information may periodically change.
Reactivity:Human/Rhesus Monkey/Cynomolgus Monkey
Specificity:This non-therapeutic biosimilar antibody uses the same variable region sequence as the therapeutic antibody Rituximab. Clone 10F381 recognizes human CD20. This product is for research use only.
Antigen Distribution:CD20 is primarily found on the surface of immune system B cells. CD20 is highly expressed in the lymph node, and to a lesser extent, the spleen and appendix.
Immunogen:Human lymphoblastoid cell line SB.
Concentration:≥ 5.0 mg/ml

CD20 is a 33-37 kD transmembrane-spanning phosphoprotein found on the surface of developing B-cells and various B-cell malignancies. CD20 is a popular target for mAb therapy because depleting developing B-cells generally does not cause permanent side effects (due to the fact that mature plasma cells and B-cell progenitors do not express CD20 and that there is limited expression of CD20 among other cell lineages). Rituximab is a chimeric monoclonal antibody that binds to CD20. The precise function of CD20 is still unknown. However, it is suspected to play a role in Ca2+ influx across plasma membranes, maintaining intracellular Ca2+ concentration, and allowing the activation of B cells. Rituximab is used to treat some autoimmune diseases and types of cancer such as non-Hodgkin lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and rheumatoid arthritis among others. The Fc portion of Rituximab mediates antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). Rituximab increases MHC II and adhesion molecules LFA-1 and LFA-3 (lymphocyte function-associated antigen) and also induces apoptosis of CD20+ cells. This ultimately results in the elimination of B cells (including the cancerous ones) from the body, and thus allows a new population of healthy B cells to develop from lymphoid stem cells. Anti-Human CD20 (Rituximab) utilizes the same variable regions from the therapeutic antibody Rituximab making it ideal for research projects.
