CD20 is a transmembrane, non-glycosylated protein expressed on B-cell precursors and mature B cells, but is lost following differentiation into plasma cells. In resting B cells, CD20 appears in a 33 kDa non-phosphorylated form. After mitogen stimulation, CD20 becomes heavily phosphorylated (35-37 kDa isoforms), and it is a dominant phosphoprotein in activated B cells. The antibody reacts with an intracytoplasmic epitope localized on the CD20 antigen and labels cells of the B-cell lineage. It is a useful aid for classification of neoplasms of B-cell derivation.

Specificity
Anti-Human CD20cy, clone L26, was clustered as anti-CD20 at the Fifth International Workshop and Conference on Human Leucocyte Differentiation Antigens (2). SDS-PAGE analysis of immunoprecipitates formed between 125I-labeled tonsil cell lysate and the antibody shows reaction primarily with 30 kDa and 33 kDa polypeptides (4). Studies using COS-1 cells transfected with cDNA encoding the CD20 molecule, indicate that the antibody labels an intracytoplasmic epitope localized on the CD20 molecule (5).
