Description
Interleukin-4, is a cytokine that induces differentiation of naive helper T cells (Th0 cells to Th2 cells). In the presence of IL-4 and IL-13, cytokines that are produced in a Th-2 type response, particularly during allergy and parasitic infections, macrophages become differentially activated, And this cytokine is a ligand for interleukin 4 receptor. The interleukin 4 receptor also binds to IL13, which may contribute to many overlapping functions of this cytokine and IL13. STAT6, a signal transducer and activator of transcription, has been shown to play a central role in mediating the immune regulatory signal of this cytokine.
Assay Principles
This inhibitor screening ELISA kit is designed to facilitate the identification and characterization of new IL-4 Rα pathway inhibitors. The assay takes advantage of our in house-developed binding of biotinylated human IL-4 Rα to immobilized human IL-4 in a functional ELISA assay, and employs a simple colorimetric ELISA platform. Briefly, we provide you with a human Biotinylated IL-4 Rα protein, a human IL-4 protein, an anti-IL-4Rα neutralizing antibody (as method verified Std.), and Streptavidin-HRP reagent.
Your experiment will include 4 simple steps:
a) Coat the plate with human IL-4.
b) Add your molecule of interest to the tests.
c) Add human IL-4 Rα-Biotin to bind the coated IL-4.
d) Add Streptavidin-HRP followed by TMB or other colorimetric HRP substrate.
Finally, the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of your compound to IL-4 Rα: IL-4 binding will be determined by comparing OD readings among different experimental groups.
