The BVD6-24G2 antibody reacts with mouse interleukin-4 (IL-4). The immunogen used to generate the BVD6-24G2 hybridoma was recombinant IL-4. This is a non-neutralizing antibody. This antibody is routinely tested by ELISA Detection. Other applications were tested during antibody development only or reported in the literature.
