| Rabbit anti Mouse Interleukin-4 antibody recognizes mouse interleukin-4 (IL-4), also known as B-cell stimulatory factor 1, a 120 amino acid pleiotropic cytokine cleaved from a 140 amino acid precursor which interacts with multiple cell lineages, including T cells, fibroblasts and macrophages (Crawford et al. 1987). Interleukin-4 is one of the most important factors involved in B cell IgG1 and IgE class switching (Winter et al. 1987). IL-4 acts as a regulator of low affinity Fc receptor for IgE (CD23) expression on both lymphocytes and monocytes (Miyajima et al. 1991, Hudak et al. 1987). IL-4 acts through binding to it's cognate receptor CD124, a receptor which also binds the related cytokine IL-13. Interleukin -4 plays an important role in the alternative activation of murine macrophages as indicated by the ability to potently up-regulate the expression and activity of CD206, the macrophage mannose receptor (Stein et al. 1992). |
- Target Species
- Mouse
- Product Form
- Purified IgG - lyophilized
- Reconstitution
- Reconstitute with 0.1ml 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 long term storage the addition of 0.09% sodium azide is recommended..NB: For functional studies do not add azide. - Antiserum Preparation
- Antisera to mouse IL-4 were raised by repeated immunisations of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared by affinity chromatography.
