| Description |
CUSABIO's product CSB-MP015007HU is a recombinant human B-lymphocyte antigen CD20-VLP (virus-like particle). It is produced by the expression of the DNA fragment corresponding to 1-297aa of the human CD20 protein in HEK293 cells. This full-length CD20 protein is fused with a 10xHis-tag at the C-terminus. It has been validated to be active. In the functional ELISA, this recombinant CD20 protein can bind to the anti-CD20 antibody. The EC50 is 3.243-7.085 ng/mL. As a VLP, this recombinant CD20 antigen is highly immunogenic and can induce an immune response similar to a natural infection but fail to replicate in the body. It can be used in cancer studies. And it is available now. The CD20 antigen is a hydrophobic transmembrane protein expressed during B cell differentiation from the pro-B cell phase until the plasma cell stadium. It is therefore a marker for B cells. It is co-expressed on B cells with CD19. CD20 plays an essential role in the regulation of B-cell development and differentiation, B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling, and cell cycle initiation. |
| Endotoxin | Less than 1.0 EU/ug as determined by LAL method. |
| Activity | Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized human CD20 at 2 μg/mL can bind Anti-CD20 recombinant antibody (CSB-RA015007A1HU), the EC50 is 3.243-7.085 ng/mL. |

Why does the CD20 protein is almost invisible in the tube?
All CUSABIO proteins don’t contain carrier protein or other additives, such as bovine serum albumin (BSA), human serum albumin (HSA), and sucrose. When freeze-drying the lowest salt content solution, it often does not form a white grid structure, but a trace amount of protein deposits within the tube, forming a thin transparent or invisible protein layer.
Tips: Before opening the lid, we recommend centrifuging the tube in a small centrifuge for 20-30 seconds to aggregate the protein attached to the inside wall or cap of the tube to the bottom of the tube. Our quality control steps ensure that the amount of protein contained in each tube is accurate. Although sometimes you can’t see the protein powder, the protein content in the tube is still very accurate.
Does this CD20 protein soluble?
Yes, it is. We offer five expression systems: E. coli, Yeast, Baculovirus, Mammalian cell, and Cell-Free (in vitro E.coli). Among them, yeast only has supernatant expression, and the protein expressed in the supernatant must be a soluble protein.
The E. coli, Baculovirus, Mammalian cell, and Cell-Free (in vitro E.coli) have both supernatant expression and inclusion body expression. As long as the protein is expressed in the supernatant, it must be soluble. If it is expressed in the inclusion body, we will also take a variety of methods to refold it and finally ensure that all the proteins we provide are soluble.
Why should we add the protective agent to the protein solution before lyophilization? What's the general protective agent? Which kind of protective agent do you usually add?
The protective agent is used in the process of freeze-drying and storage to protect the protein.
Commonly used protective agents or stabilizers include saccharides, polyols, polymers, surfactants, some proteins, and amino acids, etc. We usually add 6% (mass ratio by volume) of trehalose as lyoprotectant. Trehalose can significantly prevent the alter of the protein secondary structure and the extension and aggregation of proteins during freeze-drying process. Mannitol is also a universal applied lyoprotectant and filler, which can reduce the aggregation of certain proteins after lyophilization.
Tips: For the majority of proteins, they can be only stored at 4 ℃ for a short term (about a week) after being resuspended. If you want long-term preservation, they should be formulated as a diluent (which must contain a carrier protein, such as 0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, or 10% FBS), and then repackaged and frozen at -20℃ or -80℃. Be sure to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Because each freezing and thawing cycle will cause part of the protein inactivation.
Is the CD20 protein free of animal components?
Yes, it is. We guarantee that all proteins produced by CUSABIO are 100% animal-free, as we do not use any animal components in our raw materials and no animal components are added during the production process. Serum-free media is also used in the expression of our mammalian proteins. We can provide a declaration of no animal component if it is required.
Is this protein cell-component-free?
The protein expressed in the body, regardless of the system, is expressed by cell, and the cell expression can be divided into intracellular expression and secretory expression.
The E. coli system only has intracellular expression and needs to be broken, so the cell components are relatively more secreted than other systems.
Yeast, Baculovirus, and Mammalian cell systems can be expressed both in the cell and in the secretory expression, and the secreted expression of the protein component remains relatively less intracellular.
In vitro expression means that cell-free and the E. coli cell extract is also added, so that the cell component remains.
Therefore, no matter which expression system and which way the protein is expressed, there will be residual cell components, but we finally use affinity chromatography to purify. In theory, the residual of the cell components will be very small, but 100% of no residue cannot be guaranteed. (Nor does any companies dare to guarantee).
Can you offer aseptic manufacture processing?
Yes, we can offer an aseptic processing service and it is free of charge, but you should remark this information when placing the order. We've performed aseptic processing for liquid protein before lyophilization, but there may exist contamination during lyophilization process. To clarify, lyophilized proteins can’t guarantee aseptic processing for the whole manufacture process.
Can you remove the tag?
Not all protein tags can be removed as some proteins will be very unstable after tag removal. Please contact us in advance if you need to remove the tag which takes 2-3 business days. If we succeed in removing the tag, we will charge for extra cost for it. If we fail in removing the tag, we won't charge for any extra cost and remark this information in the datasheet as follows "Note: The laboratory determined that the tag on your protein could not be removed with standard laboratory procedures. Your protein is being supplied with the tag intact."
What is the concentration range of the protein? How do you determine the quantity of it?
The protein concentration of each batch won't be exactly the same but we could guarantee 0.1-5.0 mg/mL concentration for our expression system. If you have a special requirement for protein concentration, please contact us in advance.
There are three methods of protein concentration detection: bradford method, BCA method, A280 method. Each of these three methods has interference buffer components. According to the composition of buffer, the bradford method is the most popular with laboratories including ours, and the concentration detection range is 0.1-5 mg/mL. We also use BCA method in times.
| Function |
B-lymphocyte-specific membrane protein that plays a role in the regulation of cellular calcium influx necessary for the development, differentiation, and activation of B-lymphocytes. Functions as a store-operated calcium (SOC) channel component promoting calcium influx after activation by the B-cell receptor/BCR.
