CD20 is a membrane-embedded 35-37 kDa nonglycosylated phosphoprotein that is a restricted B-cell antigen. CD20 antibodies are available for paraffin and frozen section immunohistochemistry and for flow cytometric analysis. Its clinical utility is greatest for identifying B-lineage non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, but it can also aid in the diagnosis of nodular lymphocyte predominance Hodgkin's disease and acute lymphoblastic neoplasms. CD20 immunotoxins have also been used experimentally to treat B-cell lymphomas that do not respond to conventional chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
