    CD20 is a type III integral phosphoprotein belonging to the membrane-spanning 4A family.1-2 CD20 displays 4 transmembrane regions and potentially two extracellular loops, although the evidence for the smaller one is contradictory. 2-4 Both N- and C-terminal domains are located in the cytoplasm. The intracellular parts of CD20 contain several residues that can be phosphorylated.1-3

  • LIGANDS


    Extracellular

    No ligands have been described.1 However, it interacts in cis with itself forming multimers and it also associates with the BCR, CD40 and MHC class II.2-4 It potentially interacts with MHC class I, CD53, CD81 and CD82.5

    Intracellular

    CD20 can be immunoprecipitated together with phosphoproteins and calmodulin-binding proteins.2 In particular, CD20 has been found to be associated with lyn, lck, fyn and PAG.6-7

    CD20 is widely expressed on B cells during B cell development starting on early pre-B cells. CD20 is not present on plasma cells. 1 A small subset of T cells, accounting for 3-5% of T cells, displays moderate levels of CD20.2

    CD_NAME : CD20

    Although there are still no clues of its ligands, the role of CD20 has been studied in several publications. In particular, there are many evidences indicating that CD20 regulates the calcium influx and therefore calcium cytoplasmic levels.1-3 Through this calcium influx, CD20 may be able to control the cell growth.3 In particular, CD20 functions downstream of the BCR and its role is tied to the expression of this receptor.1,4-6 In addition, CD20 also regulates B cell activation.7

    Cell marker

    Given its expression in cells of the B lineage, CD20 can be used for diagnosis, classification and prognosis of lymphoid malignancies. 1 For instance, CD20 expression has been linked to a particular survival in CLL and adult B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. 2-4

    Therapeutic

    Due to the characteristics of CD20, several monoclonal antibodies targeting this antigen are currently being used for therapy of hematologic malignancies or autoimmune diseases.

    The prototype of anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies is Rituxan (rituximab) which was approved by the FDA in 1997 for the treatment of B-cell non-hodkin’s lymphoma.1 Since then, new indications for Rituxan treatment has been found including CLL, rheumatoid arthritis, granulomatosis with polyangiitis and microscopic polyangiitis.2 Rituximab opened a new era for immunotherapy in lymphomas as it was the first monoclonal antibody approved for their treatment.1 Other anti-CD20 antibodies approved by the FDA are Gazyva3, Arzerra 4, Zevalin5 or Bexxar.6

    CAR T cell technology has also been developed targeting CD20, but has not been approved by the FDA yet. Phase II clinical trials using CARs are being performed for B cell malignancies.7-8 Effective results of CAR T cells against CD20 have already been reported in the area of lymphomas. 10
