IL-4 antibody

Catalog No. ABIN964756

Product Details anti-IL-4 Antibody

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

Reactivity: Human

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This IL-4 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), ELISA, Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Neutralization (Neut), Radioimmunoassay (RIA)

Specificity: This product is an IgG fraction antibody purified from monospecific antiserum by a multi-step process which includes delipidation, salt fractionation and ion exchange chromatography followed by extensive dialysis against the buffer stated above.  This purified antibody has been heated to 56°C for 30 minutes. In ELISA and other immunoreactive assays, this antibody will recognize both native and recombinant human IL-4 in cell supernatants and certain body fluids. A control of similarly diluted normal rabbit IgG is recommended.

Characteristics: IL-4 is a pleiotropic cytokine produced by activated T cells. This cytokine is a ligand for interleukin 4 receptor. The interleukin 4 receptor also binds to IL13, which may contribute to many overlapping functions of this cytokine and IL13. STAT6, a signal transducer and activator of transcription, has been shown to play a central role in mediating the immune regulatory signal of this cytokine. This gene, IL3, IL5, IL13, and CSF2 form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 5q, with this gene particularly close to IL13. This gene, IL13 and IL5 are found to be regulated coordinately by several long-range regulatory elements in an over 120 kilobase range on the chromosome. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. Anti-IL-4 antibody is ideal for investigators involved in Cancer and Immunology research.

Purification: purified

Immunogen: This purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with full length recombinant human IL-4 protein.
Immunogen Type: RecombinantProtein

Isotype: IgG

Application Details

Application Notes: This purified antibody has been tested for use in ELISA and western blotting. Reactivity is also expected in neutralizations, radioimmunoassay and immunohistochemistry. The endotoxin content is estimated to be <10 pg/µl by the LAL method. By western blot a band approximately 15 kDa in size corresponding to native human IL-4 protein is expected in the appropriate cell lysate or extract. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user.
