MS4A1

Membrane Spanning 4-Domains A1

This gene encodes a member of the membrane-spanning 4A gene family. Members of this nascent protein family are characterized by common structural features and similar intron/exon splice boundaries and display unique expression patterns among hematopoietic cells and nonlymphoid tissues. This gene encodes a B-lymphocyte surface molecule which plays a role in the development and differentiation of B-cells into plasma cells. This family member is localized to 11q12, among a cluster of family members. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants which encode the same protein.

Human Therapeutic Antibody

Recombinant monoclonal antibody to Human CD20. Tositumomab is a drug for the treatment of follicular lymphoma. It is an IgG2a anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody derived from immortalized mouse cells. Tositumomab is applied in a sequential infusion followed by iodine (131I) tositumomab, which is the same antibody covalently bound to the radionuclide iodine-131 (131I). 131I emits both beta and gamma radiation and decays with a half-life of 8 days.
