Description
Description: The monoclonal antibody X2/45-12 reacts with human CD124, which is also known as the IL-4R alpha chain. CD124 can associate with the common gamma chain to form the type I IL-4R or with IL-13Ralpha1 to form the type II IL-4R. While both receptor types can bind IL-4, only the type II receptor can associate with IL-13. The type I IL-4 receptor is found on T, B, NK, mast cells, basophils, and macrophages. The type II IL-4 receptor is found on many non-hematopoietic cells and macrophages. CD124 contains an ITIM that associates with and activates STAT6. IL-4 is responsible for the generation of high-affinity IgE antibodies and driving the polarization of naive Th0 cells into Th2 cells. In mucosal barriers, the cytokine is involved in the recruitment of innate and adaptive immune effector cells and mucous overproduction. Finally, IL-4R also exists as a soluble form that serves primarily as a carrier protein for IL-4 that increases its half-life.
