Assay Information
This mouse IL4 Enzyme Immunometric Assay (EIA) kit is a complete kit for the determintation of mouse IL4 in biological fluids. Please read the complete kit insert before performing this assay. The kit uses a monoclonal antibody to mouse IL4 immobilized on a microtiter plate to bind themouse IL4 in the standards or sample. A recombinant mouse IL4 Standard is provided in the kit. After a short incubation the excess sample or standard is washed out and a biotinylated monoclonal antibody to mouse IL4 is added. This antibody binds to the mouse IL4 captured on the plate. After a short incubation the excess antibody is washed out and Streptavidin conjugated to Horseradish peroxidase is added, which binds to the biotinylated mouse IL4 antibody. Excess conjugate is washed out and substrate is added. After a short incubation, the enzyme reaction is stopped and the color generated is read at 450 nm. The measured optical density is directly proportional to the concentration ofmouse IL4 in either standards or samples.

Test
ELISA Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays Code 90320007 SNOMED,Mouse or mice from the Mus musculus species are used for production of mouse monoclonal antibodies or mabs and as research model for humans in your lab. Mouse are mature after 40 days for females and 55 days for males. The female mice are pregnant only 20 days and can give birth to 10 litters of 6-8 mice a year. Transgenic, knock-out, congenic and inbread strains are known for C57BL/6, A/J, BALB/c, SCID while the CD-1 is outbred as strain.
Gene
Interleukin 4 (IL4) is a cytokine that induces differentiation of naive helper T cells (Th0 cells) to Th2 cells. It is used for dendritic and T cell therapy. Upon activation by IL-4, Th2 cells subsequently produce additional IL-4 in a positive feedback loop. The cell that initially produces IL-4, thus inducing Th0 differentiation, has not been identified, but recent studies suggest that basophils may be the effector cell. It is closely related and has functions similar to Interleukin 13. Recombinant, GMP rec. E. coli interleukin-4 for cell culture supplied by GENTAUR. Free samples on request.
