IL-4 Antibody (CC311) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects interleukin-4 (IL-4) in ovine and bovine species by flow cytometry (FCM) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). IL-4 is a glycosylated cytokine secreted primarily by activated T lymphocytes, basophils, and mast cells, playing a crucial role in the immune response by promoting the growth and differentiation of immune cells. One of the key functions of IL-4 is inducing immunoglobulin class switching, which is vital for effective immune defense. Specifically, IL-4 stimulates B cells to produce immunoglobulin E (IgE) and enhances immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) secretion, while simultaneously suppressing the production of other immunoglobulin classes such as IgM, IgA, IgG1, IgG2, and IgG3. This selective regulation of antibody production is essential for orchestrating appropriate immune responses, particularly in allergic reactions and responses to parasitic infections. Furthermore, the signaling pathway activated by IL-4 involves rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of Stat6, a transcription factor that mediates IL-4 effects on gene expression, thereby underscoring IL-4′s importance in shaping the immune landscape. Anti-IL-4 antibody (CC311) serves as an invaluable tool for researchers studying immune responses in ovine and bovine models.
