Product Summary

The Quantikine Rat IL-4 Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure rat IL-4 levels in cell culture supernates and serum. It contains E. coli-expressed recombinant rat IL-4 and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. This immunoassay has been shown to quantitate the recombinant rat IL-4 accurately. Results obtained using natural rat IL-4 showed dose response curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the recombinant Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural rat IL-4.

Precision

Intra-Assay Precision (Precision within an assay) Three samples of known concentration were tested on one plate to assess intra-assay precision
Inter-Assay Precision (Precision between assays) Three samples of known concentration were tested in separate assays to assess inter-assay precision

Background: IL-4

IL-4 (Interleukin-4) is a cytokine that is primarily expressed by Th2-biased CD4+ T cells, mast cells, basophils, and eosinophils. It promotes cell proliferation, survival, and immunoglobulin class switch to IgG4 and IgE in human 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. IL-4 plays a dominant role in the development of allergic inflammation and asthma. The type I receptor for IL-4, which is expressed on hematopoietic cells, is a heterodimer of the ligand binding IL-4 R? and the common ? chain (a shared subunit of the receptors for IL-2, -7, -9, -15, and -21). The type II receptor on nonhematopoietic cells consists of IL-4 R? and IL-13 R?1. The type II receptor also transduces IL-13 mediated signals.

We tested IL-4 levels in a release assay performed in simulated body fluid. The standard curve was excellent and the CV values were all very low. We have used kits from other companies and found RnD systems kits to be superior to all other companies. The kits from RnD systems result in much lower background levels and much lower CV levels, which really helps with consistency and repeatability. The image shows the standard curve and the green outlines the low CV values.
