Background of IL-4
Interleukin-4 (IL-4), also knowns as a B-cell stimulatory factor1 (BSF1), is an immunomodulatory cytokine, which can inhibit the growth of tumour cells.1 The human cDNA contains a single open reading frame encoding a protein of 153 amino acids, including a putative signal peptide. IL-4 may act as an autocrine growth factor in pancreatic cancer cells and also give rise to the possibility that cancer-derived IL-4 may suppress cancer-directed immunosurveillance in vivo in addition to its growth-promoting effects, thereby facilitating pancreatic tumor growth and metastasis.1 The mouse and human genes and their protein products show structural and functional similarities. The human IL-4 gene, which occurs as a single copy in the haploid genome, is mapped on chromosome 5.2 The standard product used in this kit is recombinant human IL-4, consisting of 130 amino acids with the molecular mass of 14KDa.
Antibody Validation

Figure. Western blot analysis of IL-4 using anti-IL-4 antibody (RP1009).
Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS-PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel) / 90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours. The sample well of each lane was loaded with 50ug of sample under reducing conditions.
Lane: Recombinant Human IL-4 Protein 0.5ng,
After Electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a Nitrocellulose membrane at 150mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% Non-fat Milk/ TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-IL-4 antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (Catalog # RP1009) at 0.5 μg/mL overnight at 4°C, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:10000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit (Catalog # EK1002) with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for IL-4 at approximately 14KD. The expected band size for IL-4 is at 14KD.

Question
My boss were content with the WB result of your anti-IL4 antibody. However we have observed positive staining in oocyte secreted. using this antibody. Is that expected? Could you tell me where is IL4 supposed to be expressed?

Answer
According to literature, oocyte does express IL4. Generally IL4 expresses in secreted. Regarding which tissues have IL4 expression, here are a few articles citing expression in various tissues:

Question
We bought anti-IL4 antibody for ELISA on oocyte a few years ago. I am using human, and We are going to use the antibody for IHC next. you antibody examining oocyte as well as blood in our next experiment. Could you please give me some suggestion on which antibody would work the best for IHC?

Asked: 2018-04-16
Answer
I have checked the website and datasheets of our anti-IL4 antibody and it appears that RP1009 has been validated on human in both ELISA and IHC. Thus RP1009 should work for your application. Our Boster satisfaction guarantee will cover this product for IHC in human even if the specific tissue type has not been validated. We do have a comprehensive range of products for IHC detection and you can check out our website bosterbio.com to find out more information about them.

Question
We are currently using anti-IL4 antibody RP1009 for human tissue, and we are content with the WB results. The species of reactivity given in the datasheet says human. Is it possible that the antibody can work on dog tissues as well?

Asked: 2014-06-19
Answer
The anti-IL4 antibody (RP1009) has not been validated for cross reactivity specifically with dog tissues, but there is a good chance of cross reactivity. We have an innovator award program that if you test this antibody and show it works in dog you can get your next antibody for free. Please contact me if I can help you with anything.
