Description

Rituximab (anti-CD20) is a chimeric anti-CD20 mAb that binds the CD20 antigen on B cells with a binding affinity of 5 nM, MW: 143.86 KD.

Features

Human IgG1

Targets

CD20 ^[1]

In Vitro
In vitro	Anti-CD20 IgG1 antibody (rituximab), induces strong antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) effects on CD20+ Raji cells with the EC50 at 0.0365 nM and 1.5 nM, respectively.^[1]
Cell Research:	For ADCC experiments, PBMCs were isolated from healthy human donor blood to serve as effector cells and were plated with target Raji cells at E:T ratio of 50:1 in the presence of indicated concentrations of KPL-404, anti-CD20, or isotype antibodies. Target Raji cells were labeled with calcein-AM for detection of cell lysis prior to experimental set up. Following incubation for 4 hours at 37°C in 5% CO₂, supernatants from the experiment were analyzed. For CDC experiments, human complement was plated with calcein-AM labeled target Raji cells in the presence of indicated concentrations of KPL-404, anti-CD20, or isotype antibodies. Following incubation for 4 hours at 37°C in 5% CO₂, supernatants from the experiment were analyzed.

In Vivo
In vivo	A number of in vivo tumor models suggest the anti-tumor activity of rituximab is dependent, at least in part, on complement^[2]. Rituximab can deplete B cells for several months and, as such, could represent an effective therapy for B cell-mediated autoimmune diseases. Rituximab is now widely used in onco-haematology and is currently in development in several autoimmune diseases^[3].
Animal Research	Objective: To study the mechanisms of follicular lymphoma’s resistance to rituximab Animal Models: Female CB17 severe combined immunodeficient(SCID) mice were injected (s.c.) with rituximab-resistant lymphoma cells (derived from a human FL) Formulation: -- Dosages: 10mg/kg, weekly Administration: i.p. Reference: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19188155 Objective: To investigate the therapeutic effect of rituximab in combination with L19-IL2 on B-cell malignancies Animal Models: CB17/lcr severe combined mmunodeficiency (SCID) mice were injected (s.c.) Ramos or DoHH-2 lymphoma cells Formulation: saline Dosages: 200 μg Administration: i.v.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1:
How to store the antibody?

Answer:
Store the undiluted solution at 4 °C in the dark. Freezing antibodies can result in a loss of activity caused by the freezing/thawing process. Diluting antibodies to working concentrations and storing at 4°C for more than a day should be avoided. Additionally, make sure to keep the antibody sterile. Under these storage conditions, your antibodies should remain active for up to one year and oftentimes longer.
