- R2032-24D has been used to detect rituximab bound to the surface of the Raji B cell line, however detection of rituximab bound in vivo to B-CLL cells has not been demonstrated. It is possible that complement deposition on rituximab opsonised cells inhibits binding of the Anti-Rituximab Antibody to cell bound rituximab (Beum et al. 2004). Inhibition experiments carried out with Daudi cells demonstrated that this antibody is inhibitory at a ratio of 5:1 antibody:rituximab, but does not inhibit rituximab binding to CD20 at a ratio of 1:1. Rituximab (reference product branded as Rituxan) is a chimeric mouse/human monoclonal antibody approved for the treatment of certain autoimmune diseases and cancer, including non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia and rheumatoid arthritis. The antibody is specific for the cell surface protein CD20, which is widely expressed on B cells. Through three different mechanisms of action it eliminates B cells from the body, enabling the development of a new population of healthy B cells. The antibody can be used to measure the levels of rituximab and biosimilar products in bioanalytical assays. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: ELISA: 1:20,000-1:200,000 Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Hybridoma: Spleen cells from immunized rats were fused with cells of the NS-1 myeloma cell line. Storage and Stability: Store product at 4°C if to be used immediately within two weeks. For long-term storage, aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable at -20°C for 12 months after receipt. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Note: Sodium azide is a potent inhibitor of peroxidase and should not be added to HRP conjugates. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
