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.
