Anti-CD20 (Obinutuzumab biosimilar - IgG1 isotype)

Human IgG1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) against human CD20

Anti-hCD20-Ga-hIgG1 features the constant region (Fc) of a human IgG1 isotype and the variable region of obinutuzumab. Obinutuzumab, formerly named Afutuzumab or GA101, targets the human CD20 antigen found on the surface of normal and malignant B lymphocytes.

Obinutuzumab is a type II (second generation) non-fucosylated, fully humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) with improved therapeutic efficacy compared to previously developed type I (first generation) anti-hCD20 mAbs, such as Rituximab and Ofatumumab. Obinutuzumab has been approved by the FDA to treat chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) [1-3].

InvivoGen’s Anti-hCD20-Ga-hIgG1 is generated by recombinant DNA technology, produced in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, and purified by affinity chromatography (protein G).
More isotypes of this antibody are available and can be used for comparison of biological activities such as ADCC (see below or in the 'upon request' section).
InvivoGen also provides type I anti-hCD20 mAbs featuring the variable regions of Rituximab or Ofatumumab, with either native or engineered Fc regions.

Figures

Binding of Anti-hCD20-Ga-hIgG1 mAb to hCD20. EL4-hCD20 cells were incubated for 30 minutes at 4°C with 500 ng of Anti-hCD20-Ga-hIgG1 or an isotype control. Subsequently, a secondary PE-labeled antibody was added and incubated at 4°C for 30 minutes. The binding affinity was assessed using flow cytometry.
