Flow cytometric analysis of IL-4 expression in Human PBMC polarized with Th2 Polarization Kit, Human (UA090018). Th2 polarized Human PBMC were harvested and restimulated for 5 hr with PMA and Ionomycin in the presence of Brefeldin A (Right Panel) or unstimulated (Left Panel).
The cells were harvested and fixed with 4% PFA and permeabilized with Intracellular Fixation & Permeabilization Buffer Set. The cells were then stained with PE Mouse Anti-Human CD4 and SDT Pacific Blue Rat Anti-Human IL-4 Antibody at 5μl/test. Total viable cells, as determined by Fixable Viability Dye 515 (S0D0013), were used for analysis. Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using BD FACSymphony™ A1 and FlowJo™ software.

Background
Interleukin-4 (IL-4) is a 15–20 kDa, glycosylated, four-α-helical cytokine secreted primarily by Th2-polarized CD4⁺ T cells, mast cells, eosinophils and basophils that signals through a heterodimeric receptor complex composed of the IL-4Rα chain (shared with IL-13) and either the common γ-chain (type I receptor, hematopoietic cells) or IL-13Rα1 (type II receptor, non-hematopoietic cells) to activate STAT6-dependent transcriptional programs, thereby orchestrating the switch of B cells to IgE and IgG1 production, driving alternative activation of macrophages (M2), expanding Th2 and Treg subsets, suppressing Th1/Th17 responses, and exerting critical homeostatic and pathological roles in allergy, asthma, helminth immunity, tissue repair and tumor immune evasion.
