          IL-4 Antibody (12-7049-42) in Flow

          Normal human peripheral blood cells were stimulated with PMA and Ionomycin in the presence of brefeldin A for 6 hours. The cells were surface stained with Anti-Human CD3 FITC (Product # 11-0038-42) and intracellularly stained with Anti-Human IL-4 PE (right panel). Left panel demonstrates unlabelled antibody blocking control. {{ $ctrl.currentElement.advancedVerification.fullName }} validation info. View more

          Product Specific Information

          Description: The 8D4-8 antibody reacts with human interleukin-4 (IL-4), a 15-19 kDa cytokine secreted by Th2 cells.

          Applications Reported:The 8D4-8 antibody has been reported for use as a capture antibody for human IL-4 ELISA and for intracellular staining for flow cytometric analysis.

          Applications Tested: Has been pre-titrated and tested by intracellular staining for flow cytometric analysis. This can be used at test size: 5 µL (0.125 µg) per test. A test is defined as the amount (µg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 µL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test.

          Excitation: 488-561 nm; Emission: 578 nm; Laser: Blue Laser, Green Laser, Yellow-Green Laser.

          Filtration: 0.2 µm post-manufacturing filtered.

          Target Information

          Interleukin-4 (IL-4) is a pleiotropic, immune-modulatory cytokine produced by activated T cells, and serves as a ligand for interleukin 4 receptor. IL-4 has been found to have the broadest range of actions. 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 an important role in mediating the immune regulatory signal of IL-4. The IL-4 gene, IL-3, IL-5, IL-13, and CSF2 form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 5q. In particular, IL-4 is located in close proximity to IL13 on the chromosome. Further, the IL-4 gene, IL13 and IL5 are found to be coordinated by several long-range regulatory elements over a 120 kilobase range on the chromosome. IL-4 delta 2 is a known splice variant of IL-4.
