Interleukin-4, also known as B-cell stimulatory factor 1, is a pleiotropic cytokine which interacts with multiple cell lineages, including T cells, fibroblasts and haematopoietic cells, and is one of the most important factors involved in B cell IgG1 and IgE class switching. Excessive secretion of IL-4 by Th2 helper cells, has been linked with allergy and elevated IgE levels.

Target Species
Human
Product Form
Purified recombinant protein - lyophilized
Reconstitution
Reconstitute with 50 ul distilled water
Care should be taken during reconstitution as the protein may appear as a film at the bottom of the vial. Bio-Rad recommend that the vial is gently mixed after reconstitution.

For extended storage it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing 0.1% BSA.
Preparation
Purified recombinant IL-4 expressed in E. coli
Source
E.coli
Preservative Stabilisers
None present
Carrier Free
Yes
Activity
The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of human TF-1 cells is ≤ 0.2 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of ≥ 5 x 106 units/mg.
Purity
>98% by SDS PAGE and HPLC
Approx. Protein Concentrations
0.1 mg/ml after reconstitution
Protein Molecular Weight
14.9 kDa (129 amino acid residues)
Endotoxin Level
< 1.0 EU/ug
Regulatory
For research purposes only
Guarantee
Guaranteed for 3 months from the date of reconstitution or until the date of expiry, whichever comes first. Please see label for expiry date.

Prior to reconstitution store at -20oC. Following reconstitution store at -20oC.

This product should be stored undiluted.

Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the protein. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
