Overview

Human Interleukin 4 (IL-4) is important for immune responses to helminth infection as well as in allergic responses (Olpihant et al.). The IL-4 receptor consists of a heterodimer of IL-4Ra and common gamma chain. IL-4 receptor engagement leads to the activation of JAK1/3 and the recruitment of STAT6 and IRS1/2 (Nelms et al.). IL-4 drives immunoglobulin class switching in B cells (to IgE, IgG4), mast cell hyperplasia, mucus production, and the differentiation of naïve T cells into T helper type 2 (Th2) cells, which produce IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, and IL-13 (Bao et al.; Olpihant et al.; Nelms et al.). In addition to Th2 T cells, IL-4 is produced by CD4+ NK T cells, γ/δ T cells, activated basophils, eosinophils, and mast cells. IL-4 consists of 130 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of 15.1 kDa. Human IL-4 does not cross-react with mouse cells (Park et al.). This product is animal component-free.

Data Figures

(A) The biological activity of Human Recombinant IL-4, ACF was tested by its ability to promote the proliferation of TF-1 cells. Cell proliferation was measured after 72 hours of culture using a fluorometric assay method. The EC50 is defined as the effective concentration of the cytokine at which cell proliferation is at 50% of maximum. The EC50 in the example above is 0.2 ng/mL. (B) 1 μg of Human Recombinant IL-4, ACF was resolved with SDS-PAGE under reducing (+) and non-reducing (-) conditions and visualized by Coomassie Blue staining.
