Mouse splenocytes were stimulated with ConA for 2 days, followed by IL-2 and IL-4 for 3 days, and restimulated with immobilized anti-CD3 and soluble anti-CD28 in the presence of Brefeldin A for 5 hours. The cells were surface stained with PE anti-mouse CD4 (GK1.5) and intracellularly stained with FITC anti-mouse IL-4 (BVD6-24G2).

Description

The BVD6-24G2 antibody reacts with mouse interleukin-4 (IL-4), a 14 kDa cytokine secreted by Th2 cells.

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. BVD6-24G2 has been reported for use in intracellular flow cytometric analysis.

Applications Tested

This BVD6-24G2 antibody is offered in 2 formats:

- μg size: has been tested by intracellular staining and flow cytometric analysis of restimulated mouse splenocyte cultures. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.5 μg per million cells in a 100 μl total staining volume. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.

- test size: has been pre-titrated and tested by intracellular staining and flow cytometric analysis of restimulated mouse splenocyte cultures. This can be used at 20 μl (0.25 μg) per million cells in a 100 μl total staining volume. The pre-titrated test size contains BSA and/or gelatin for protein stabilization.
