Recommended Assay Procedures: Recommended Assay Procedures ELISA Capture: The purified 8D4-8 antibody (Cat. No. 554515) is useful as a capture antibody for a sandwich ELISA for measuring human IL-4 protein levels. Purified 8D4-8 antibody can be paired with the biotinylated MP4-25D2 antibody (Cat. No. 554483) as the detecting antibody, with recombinant human IL-4 protein (Cat. No. 554605) as the standard. For specific methodology, please visit our web site, www.bdbiosciences.com, and go to the protocols section or the chapter on ELISA in the Immune Function Handbook Applications Manual. Note: This ELISA pair shows no cross-reactivity with any of the cytokines tested (e.g., mouse IL-1β, IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-7, IL-9, IL-10, IL-12 p70, IL-15, GM-CSF, IFN-γ, MCP-1, TCA-3, TNF; human IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-3, IL-5, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-9, IL-10, IL11, IL-12 p70, IL-12 p40, IL-13, IL-15 G-CSF, GM-CSF, IFN-γ, lymphotactin, MCP-1, MCP-2, MIP-1α, MIP-1β, NT-3, PDGF-AA, sCD23 , SCF, TNF, LT-α, VEGF; rat IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, GM-CSF, IFN-γ, TNF). Note: This ELISA pair is recommended primarily for measuring cytokine from experimental cell culture systems. These ELISA reagents are not recommended for assaying serum or plasma samples. For measuring human IL-4 in serum or plasma our Human IL-4 BD OptEIA™ set (Cat. No. 555194) or BD OptEIA™ kit (Cat. No. 550614) are specially formulated and recommended.
