Test Details:
CD20 is a cell surface protein that is primarily expressed on B cells, including normal B cells and B-cell lymphomas. Immunophenotyping by flow cytometry using CD20 antibodies allows for the identification and quantification of B cells in a sample.
The CD20 test is commonly used in the diagnosis and monitoring of B-cell lymphomas, such as non-Hodgkin lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. It can also be used to assess the effectiveness of targeted therapies that specifically target CD20, such as rituximab.
During the CD20 test, cells from a patient’s sample (such as blood or bone marrow) are stained with fluorescently labeled CD20 antibodies. The stained cells are then passed through a flow cytometer, a specialized instrument that can analyze and sort cells based on their fluorescence properties.
The flow cytometer detects the fluorescence emitted by the CD20 antibodies and generates data on the number and characteristics of CD20-positive cells in the sample. This data can then be analyzed to determine the percentage of B cells, as well as any abnormalities or changes in the B-cell population.
Overall, immunophenotyping by flow cytometry using CD20 antibodies is a valuable tool in the diagnosis and monitoring of B-cell lymphomas, providing important information about the B-cell population in a patient’s sample.
