Description

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

The hIL4R-M57 antibody specifically binds to the subunit (IL-4R) of the human Interleukin-4 Receptor complex which is also known as CD124. The human IL-4R, also known as B cell stimulatory factor 1 receptor (BSF-1 receptor), is a 140kDa transmembrane glycoprotein that is expressed by B and T lymphocytes and a variety of other hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells and cell lines. The cell surface IL-4R α chain binds IL-4 with high affinity and associates with either the common γ chain (IL-4Rα/γ c; aka, type I IL-4R complex) or the IL-13 receptor alpha-1 subunit (IL-4Rα/IL-13Rα 1; aka, type II IL-4R complex) to form two distinct types of signal-transducing IL-4R complexes. The type I IL-4 receptor complex specifically binds IL-4 whereas the type II IL-4R complex binds and transduces signals from either IL-4 or IL-13. A truncated form of the IL-4Rα exists in soluble form in biological fluids. In contrast to mice, in humans no distinct mRNA coding for sIL-4R has been described, suggested that human sIL4-R is exclusively produced by proteolytic cleavage of the cell surface receptor. The serum levels of soluble IL-4Rα appear to elevate in pathological situations such as allergy and parasitic infections. Depending on the ratios of IL-4 and sIL-4Rα present in the local milieu, the sIL-4Rα may augment or antagonize the activities of IL-4. The immunogen used to generate the hIL4R-M57 hybridoma was soluble human IL-4R.

The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV711 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. This dye is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BV421 with an Ex Max of 405nm and an acceptor dye with an Em Max at 711nm. BD Horizon BV711 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in a filter used to detect Cy™5.5 / Alexa Fluor™ 700-like dyes (eg, 712/20nm filter). Due to the excitation and emission characteristics of the acceptor dye, there may be moderate spillover into the Alexa Fluor™ 700 and PerCP-Cy5.5 detectors. However, the spillover can be corrected through compensation as with any other dye combination. BV711 is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BV421 and an acceptor dye with an emission maximum at 711 nm. This dye offers a very bright choice for the violet laser. Due to the excitation and emission characteristics of the acceptor dye, there may be moderate spillover into the Alexa Fluor™ 700 and PerCP-Cy5.5 detectors. BV711 will also have moderate spillover into the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet 786 detector.
