Overview

Product name: Recombinant Mouse IL-4
Description: Recombinant Mouse Interleukin-4 is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding His23-Ser140 is expressed.
Accession: P07750
Molecular weight: 13.4 KDa
Apparent molecular weight: 14 KDa, reducing conditions
Purity: Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.
Endotoxin: Less than 0.001 ng/µg (0.01 EU/µg) as determined by LAL test.
Biological activity: Measured in a cell proliferation assay using M-NFS-60 mouse lymphoblast cells.  The ED50 for this effect is 0.01 ng/ml.
Redissolve: Always centrifuge tubes before opening.Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100μg/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles. 
Storage: Lyophilized protein should be stored at < -20°C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-7°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
Delivery condition: The product is shipped at ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store it immediately at the temperature listed below.
Background: Mouse Interleukin-4(IL-4) is a monomeric, Th2 cytokine that shows pleiotropic effects during immune responses. It is a glycosylated polypeptide that contains three intrachain disulfide bridges and adopts a bundled four α­helix structure. IL­4 exerts its effects through two receptor complexes, Participates in at least several B-cell activation processes as well as of other cell types. IL­4 is primarily expressed by Th2­biased CD4+T cells, mast cells, basophils, and eosinophils. It promotes cell proliferation, survival, and immunoglobulin class switch to IgG1 and IgE in mouse B cells, acquisition of the Th2 phenotype by naïve CD4+T cells, priming and chemotaxis of mast cells, eosinophils, and basophils, and the proliferation and activation of epithelial cells. IL­4 plays a dominant role in the development of allergic inflammation and asthma. It also regulates the expression of the low affinity Fc receptor for IgE (CD23) on both lymphocytes and monocytes.
