Basic Information  | |
Specificity  | This antibody binds human IL-4. Interleukin-4 is a cytokine secreted primarily by mast cells, T- cells, eosinophils, and basophils that plays a role in regulating antibody production, hematopoiesis and inflammation, and the development of effector T-cell responses. It induces differentiation of naive helper T cells (Th0 cells) to Th2 cells. It also induces expression of class II MHC molecules on resting B-cells and enhances both secretion and cell surface expression of IgE and IgG1.  | 
Alternative Name  | IL4; BSF-1; Interleukin-4; B-cell stimulatory factor 1; Binetrakin; Lymphocyte stimulatory factor 1; Pitrakinra  | 
UniProt  | P05112  | 
Immunogen  | The original antibody was generated by immunizing BALB/c mice subcutaneously with 25 µg of human IL-4 in 100 µl of 150 mM sodium chloride emulsified with 100 µl of complete Freund’s adjuvant.  | 
Application Notes  | The binding of this antibody to human IL-4 was confirmed with ELISA (PMID: 12825686).  |
