Background of MS4A1
CD20, also known as MS4A1, is an activated-glycosylated phosphoprotein expressed on the surface of all B-cells beginning at the pro-B phase (CD45R+, CD117+) and progressively increasing in concentration until maturity. It is mapped to 11q12.2. This gene encodes a member of the membrane-spanning 4A gene family. The function of CD20 is to enable optimal B-cell immune response, specifically against T-independent antigens. It is suspected that CD20 acts as a calcium channel in the cell membrane. What’s more, this protein may be involved in the regulation of B-cell activation and proliferation.

IHC analysis of CD20 using anti-CD20 antibody (PB9050).
CD20 was detected in paraffin-embedded section of Human Tonsil Tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution) for 20 mins. The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 1μg/ml rabbit anti-CD20 Antibody (PB9050) overnight at 4°C. Biotinylated goat anti-rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The tissue section was developed using Strepavidin-Biotin-Complex (SABC)(Catalog # SA1022) with DAB as the chromogen.

Western blot analysis of CD20 using anti-CD20 antibody (PB9050).
Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS-PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel) / 90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours. The sample well of each lane was loaded with 30 ug of sample under reducing conditions.
Lane 1: human Daudi whole cell lysates.
After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane at 150 mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% non-fat milk/TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-CD20 antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (Catalog # PB9050) at 0.5 μg/mL overnight at 4°C, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:5000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit (Catalog # EK1002) with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for CD20 at approximately 35 kDa. The expected band size for CD20 is at 33 kDa.

IF analysis of CD20 using anti-CD20 antibody (PB9050)
CD20 was detected in paraffin-embedded section of human B lymphocytic tumor tissues. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution ) for 20 mins. The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 1μg/mL rabbit anti-CD20 Antibody (PB9050) overnight at 4°C. DyLight®488 Conjugated Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG (BA1127) was used as secondary antibody at 1:100 dilution and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The section was counterstained with DAPI. Visualize using a fluorescence microscope and filter sets appropriate for the label used.

Flow Cytometry analysis of A431 cells using anti-CD20 antibody (PB9050).
Overlay histogram showing A431 cells stained with PB9050 (Blue line). To facilitate intracellular staining, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with permeabilization buffer. The cells were blocked with 10% normal goat serum. And then incubated with rabbit anti-CD20 Antibody (PB9050,1μg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 20°C. DyLight®488 conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (BA1127, 5-10μg/1x106 cells) was used as secondary antibody for 30 minutes at 20°C. Isotype control antibody (Green line) was rabbit IgG (1μg/1x106) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample without incubation with primary antibody and secondary antibody (Red line) was used as a blank control.

5 Customer Q&As for Anti-CD20/MS4A1 Antibody Picoband®
Question
We are currently using anti-CD20/MS4A1 antibody PB9050 for human tissue, and we are content with the Flow Cytometry results. The species of reactivity given in the datasheet says human. Is it possible that the antibody can work on bovine tissues as well?

Answer
The anti-CD20/MS4A1 antibody (PB9050) has not been tested for cross reactivity specifically with bovine tissues, though there is a good chance of cross reactivity. We have an innovator award program that if you test this antibody and show it works in bovine you can get your next antibody for free. Please contact me if I can help you with anything.

Answer
From what I have seen in literature t-cell does express MS4A1. From what I have seen in Uniprot.org, MS4A1 is expressed in blood, lymph, t-cell, b-cell, among other tissues. Regarding which tissues have MS4A1 expression, here are a few articles citing expression in various tissues:
B-cell, Pubmed ID: 22615937
Lymph, Pubmed ID: 15489334
T-cell, Pubmed ID: 19367720
