Description

General description

Interleukin-4 (IL-4) is a cytokine that is a key regulator in humoral and adaptive immunity. IL-4 induces differentiation of naive helper T-cells (Th0 cells) to Th2 cells. It has many biological roles, including the stimulation of activated B-cell and T-cell proliferation, and the differentiation of CD4+ T-cells into Th2 cells. Further, IL-4 controls the production of IgE, expands IL-4 producing T-cell subsets and stabilizes effector cell functions. IL-4 has great therapeutic potential due to its role in the development of allergic inflammatory responses. IL-4 also has shown to have promise in drug targeting for cancer.

The SMC^® Mouse IL-4 Discovery Immunoassay Kit contains all reagents required to perform the assay. This assay takes advantage of a standard immunoassay workflow configured in a standard plate format. Assay protocols are similar to existing sandwich ELISA methods with two key differences: 1) Elution buffer disrupts the sandwich, separating the labeled detection antibody for quantification. 2) The SMC^® immunoassay system detects analytes using Single Molecule Counting (SMC^®) technology.
