Formulation
This monoclonal antibody is aseptically packaged and formulated in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline (150 mM NaCl) PBS pH 7.2 - 7.4 with no carrier protein, potassium, calcium or preservatives added. Due to inherent biochemical properties of antibodies, certain products may be prone to precipitation over time. Precipitation may be removed by aseptic centrifugation and/or filtration.
Product Preparation
Functional grade preclinical antibodies are manufactured in an animal free facility using in vitro cell culture techniques and are purified by a multi-step process including the use of protein A or G to assure extremely low levels of endotoxins, leachable protein A or aggregates.
Storage and Handling
Functional grade preclinical antibodies may be stored sterile as received at 2-8°C for up to one month. For longer term storage, aseptically aliquot in working volumes without diluting and store at -80°C. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles.

Description

Specificity
Clone 11B11 recognizes an epitope on mouse IL-4.
Antigen Distribution
IL-4 is secreted by Th2 cells, NKT cells, mast cells, eosinophils, and basophils.
Background
IL-4 antibody, 11B11, recognizes mouse IL-4, also known as B-cell differentiation factor (BCDF) and B-cell stimulatory factor (BSF1). IL-4 is a pleiotropic 20 kDa cytokine secreted by T helper 2 cells (Th2) cells, natural killer T (NKT) cells, mast cells, eosinophils, and basophils1,2. IL-4 signaling through the IL-4 receptor alpha chain (IL-4Ra) induces the differentiation of naive T cells to Th2 cells3,4 and stimulates B cell differentiation, proliferation, and class switching to IgG1 and IgE isotypes5. In addition, IL-4 is implicated in normal wound healing6,7 and airway inflammation in patients with asthma8.
