Recombinant Human IL-4
Interleukin 4 (IL-4) is an immunomodulatory cytokine that functions to induce naïve helper T cells to differentiate into type 2 T helper (Th2) cells. Th2 cells subsequently produce more IL-4 in a positive feedback loop. IL-4 also promotes immunoglobulin IgG to IgE isotype switching on B cells. IL-4 binds the IL-4Rα receptor to activate STAT6 signaling.

SDS-PAGE Showing a Prominent Band 14.4 kDa.
Figure 1. rh IL-4 (1μg) was resolved with SDS-PAGE under non-reducing (NR) and reducing (R) conditions and visualized by InstantBlue staining showing a single prominent band at 14.4 kDa.*
*Predicted MW is 15.1 kDa, but runs on SDS-PAGE at 14.4 kDa.
