Product specifications

Intended use

This ELISA Pro kit is intended for the quantification of human IL-4 in serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Serum/Plasma samples

The ELISA diluent included in this kit blocks heterophilic antibodies from cross-linking the assay antibodies, thereby preventing false-positive read-outs. Heterophilic antibodies are commonly found in human serum/plasma and can also be present in other species. The ELISA diluent has been validated using serum/plasma samples from healthy human blood donors.

ReactivityHuman, Non-human primates
Specificity

This kit is based on a matched pair of mAbs specific for human IL-4.

Cross-reactivity

The mAbs cross-react with IL-4 from non-human primates (NHP). For more information please check the Cross-reactivity guide section below.

Shipping

Shipped at ambient temperature.

Storage

Store detection mAb, Streptavidin-HRP, buffers/solutions, and substrate at 4-8 °C upon receipt. The ELISA standard should be stored at -20 °C. Plates may be kept at room temperature.

Shelf lifeAt least 12 months from date of receipt.
Standard range3.16-1000 pg/ml
Sensitivity3 pg/ml

The lowest concentration that can be detected, but not necessarily quantified with precision and accuracy. This was determined by adding 2 standard deviations to the mean OD of background wells.

Mean standard curve from repeated runs of human Interleukin-4 (IL-4) ELISA Pro kit.

The systems reactive with NHPs are either based on cross-reactive human kits or specifically developed monkey kits (NHP).

Cross-reactivity verification tests have been performed in ELISpot and/or ELISA by Mabtech and/or by others. Evaluations of assays with less solid evidence of cross-reactivity are shown as symbols within parentheses.

IL-4

Analyte description

Interleukin 4 (IL-4) is produced primarily by Th2 cells, mast cells, eosinophils, and basophils. IL-4 was first identified to costimulate B cell growth; the cytokine is essential for B cell secretion of IgE and augments the production of IgG1 in vivo. In addition to regulating B cell growth and immunoglobulin secretion, IL-4 also affects T cells. In vitro, IL-4 promotes T cell growth and can induce cytolytic T cell activity. IL-4 also induces the differentiation of naive CD4 T cells into Th2 cells, which are characterized by their capacity to secrete the cytokines IL-4, IL-5, and IL-10 upon activation, while simultaneously inhibiting the generation of Th1 cells.
