CD20 Positive Cell Isolation Kit
The CD20 Positive Cell Isolation Kit is designed to magnetically separate CD20-expressing cells from a complex immune cell population. This kit is optimized for the isolation of CD20 positive cells from normal human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Cells are incubated with the antibody:bead complex and placed on a magnet for quick and easy separation. When placed on the magnet, the CD20 positive cells are immobilized along the side of the tube while CD20-negative cells remain in suspension and can be easily removed.

B cells are critical immune cells for functions such as antibody production, support of other mononuclear and antigen-presenting cells, and they influence inflammatory pathways. CD20 is a marker of certain B cell subsets, which include B cell blasts, B cell malignancies, pre-B cells, naïve, mature, and activated B cells. There is also a small subset of CD20+ T cells in PBMCs. In PBMCs derived from healthy individuals, about 6-23% of the cells are CD20+ cells.
