Background
Mouse interleukin-4 (IL-4) is an 18–20 kDa monomeric glycoprotein cytokine primarily produced by Th2 cells, mast cells, basophils, eosinophils, NKT cells, and γδT cells. As a central regulator of type 2 immunity, it drives Th2 differentiation via the JAK-STAT6 pathway upon binding to IL-4 receptor complexes (IL-4Rα paired with γc or IL-13Rα1), inducing transcription factors like GATA3 and c-Maf. Functionally, IL-4 promotes B cell proliferation, class switching to IgG1/IgE, and activation of eosinophils/mast cells, while suppressing Th1 responses. Its roles are context-dependent: IL-4 exerts protective effects in acute lung injury (reducing TNF-α/IL-6 and apoptosis) and cerebral ischemia (attenuating neuroinflammation), yet can exacerbate infections (e.g., mousepox) by suppressing cytolytic lymphocyte responses.

ELISA
Linearity
The concentrations of Mouse IL-4 were measured and interpolated from the target standard curves and corrected for sample dilution.
The sample is undiluted samples are as follows: EL-4 cells stimulated with 10ug/ml PHA and 10 ug/ml PMA for 2 days (100%). The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted. The mean target concentration was determined to be 290.27 pg/mL in stimulated EL-4 cells supernatant.
Linearity
The sample is undiluted samples are as follows: EL-4 cells culture for 2 days (100%). The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted. The mean target concentration was determined to be 64.18 pg/mL in unstimulated EL-4 cells supernatant.
Linearity
The concentrations of Mouse IL-4 were measured and interpolated from the target standard curves and corrected for sample dilution.
#1 sample is undiluted samples are as follows: Mouse splenocyte were cultured for 3days (100%). The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted. The mean target concentration was determined to be 12.23 pg/mL in Mouse splenocytes culture supernatant.
#2 sample is undiluted samples are as follows: An aliquot of the culture medium was removed (100%). The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted. The mean target concentration was determined to be 3.89 pg/mL in culture medium.
To assess the linearity of the assay, sample was spiked with high concentrations of Mouse IL-4 in various matrices and diluted with the appropriate Calibrator Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay.
