IL-4 antibody

Catalog No. ABIN1177267

Product Details anti-IL-4 Antibody

Target: IL-4 (IL4) (Interleukin 4 (IL4))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Rat

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This IL-4 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: ELISA, Neutralization (Neut), Intracellular Staining (ICS)

Brand: BD Pharmingen™

Characteristics: Neutralization Activity: This antibody has been reported to be useful for the neutralization of recombinant human IL-4. Neutralization may be measured with a proliferation assay using 2 ng/mL recombinant human IL-4 (Cat. No. 554605) to stimulate TF-1 cells at 1x10^5 cells/mL as indicator cells (i.e. preincubation of the antibody with recombinant human IL-4 for 60 minutes).
50% Neutralization (ND50) at 4 - 20 ng/mL
>95% Neutralization at 20 - 100 ng/mL

Purification: The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography.

Sterility: 0.2 μm filtered

Endotoxin Level: Endotoxin level is ≤ 0.01 EU/μg (≤ 0.001 ng/μg) of protein as determined by the LAL assay.

Immunogen: Purified Recombinant Human IL-4

Clone: MP4-25D2

Isotype: IgG1

Application Details

Application Notes: ELISA: Biotinylated MP4-25D2 antibody (Cat. No. 554483) has been reported to be useful as a detection antibody for sandwich ELISA measuring human IL-4 protein levels. Biotinylated MP4-25D2 antibody can be paired with the purified 8D4-8 antibody (Cat. No. 554515) as the capture antibody, with recombinant human IL-4 (Cat. No. 554605) as the standard. Investigators are encouraged to use the BD OptEIA™ Human IL-4 ELISA (Cat. No. 555194 or 550614) for measuring human IL-4 in serum or plasma samples.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Background: The MP4-25D2 antibody reacts with human interleukin-4 (IL-4). The immunogen used to generate the MP4-25D2 hybridoma was purified recombinant human IL-4. This is a neutralizing antibody. The MP4-25D2 antibody has been reported to cross react with IL-4 from rhesus monkeys. The use of the MP4-25D2 antibody for epitope mapping of human IL-4 has been described.
