| Usage: |
CD20 is a pan B cell marker that is used to assess therapeutic B-cell depletion quantitatively in the clinical context of malignancies, autoimmune diseases such as SLE, and treatment or prevention of acute humoral rejection in positive crossmatch renal transplant recipients. It is also used to confirm the complete absence of B-cells in suspected primary humoral immunodeficiencies. Anti CD20 therapies like Rituximab are used to treat B-cell leukemias & lymphomas and immune disorders. |
