Vector Labs Ab02326-3.0 Anti-IL-4 [SB240683 (Pascolizumab, humanized 3B9)], Mouse IgG2b, kappa (200 μg) Centrifuge Bundle Savings at Sycamore Life Sciences

Description

Product Class: Purified
Clone ID: SB240683 (Pascolizumab, humanized 3B9)
Synonyms: IL4; BSF-1; Interleukin-4; B-cell stimulatory factor 1; Binetrakin; Lymphocyte stimulatory factor 1; Pitrakinra
Amount: 200 μg
Application Codes Clone: ELISA, Inhibit; Block; therapeutic; functional assay
Shipping Temperature: Wet Ice
Buffer Composition: PBS with 0.02% Proclin 300.
Original Format: IgG1
Storage Temperature: Store at 4⁰C for up to 3 months. For longer storage, aliquot and store at -20⁰C.
Chimeric Use Statement: This chimeric mouse antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Human IgG1 format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
Specificity Statement: This antibody binds human and cynomolgus monkey IL-4 and does not cross react with IL-4 from mouse, rat, cow, goat or horse. It does show binding to glycosylated interleukin-4. Interleukin-4 is a receptor for both interleukin 4 and interleukin 13. It couples to the JAK1/2/3-STAT6 pathway. The IL4 response is involved in promoting Th2 differentiation. The IL4/IL13 responses are involved in regulating IgE production and, chemokine and mucus production at sites of allergic inflammation. In certain cell types, can signal through activation of insulin receptor substrates, IRS1/IRS2.
Application Notes: The original mouse version of this antibody can recognize recombinant human IL-4 in an ELISA and is also capable of inhibiting IL-4 dependent T-cell proliferation in vitro (PMID: 7517357). Binding of this humanized antibody completely blocks the binding of IL-4 to IL-4R. An in vitro study demonstrated that pascolizumab effectively neutralized IL-4 bioactivity in human cell lines including inhibited the proliferation of human T cells, human B cells and TF-1 cells, inhibition of interleukin-4-dependent IgE production by human PBMCs and up-regulation of Fc∈RII. It also inhibited the early events of asthma including TH2 cell differentiation, eosinophilia and IgE up-regulation. In vivo pharmacokinetic and chronic safety testing in cynomolgus monkeys demonstrated that pascolizumab was well tolerated without inducing adverse clinical responses (PMID:12296858). The pharmacokinetics of the human version of this antibody in the male Sprague Dawley rat was studied and the half life of the antibody was determined to be 11 days (US5914110A). A Phase I trial with a single intravenous dose in mild to moderate asthma demonstrated that it was well tolerated and had an elimination half-life of more than 2 weeks (Shames et al., 2001). However, a subsequent large-scale, multidose phase II trial in steroid-naive subjects with asthma was terminated because preliminary data showed that pascolizumab did not provide clinical benefit (clinical trials: NCT00024544).
