| Summary and Explanation | CD20 is a transmembrane, non-glycosylated protein expressed on B-cell precursors and mature B-cells, but lost following differentiation into plasma cells. This antibody does not cross-react with non-hematopoietic neoplasms. CD20 (B-cell Pan) reacts with a membrane antigen present in B-cells.CD20 antibody strongly recognizes Reed-Sternberg cells predominant in Hodgkin’s disease. Since no staining of histiocytes or plasma cells has been observed and CD20 antibody has not been detected in T-cell malignancies, it is a very strong marker of B-cell Lymphomas. B-cell Panmarker recognizes a formalin-resistant intracytoplasmic antigen. |
