AffiELISA® Chicken IL4 Kit: Ultra-Sensitive Interleukin 4 ELISA Detection
The AffiELISA® Chicken IL4 Kit is a specialized laboratory kit designed for the ultra-sensitive detection and quantification of Interleukin 4 (IL-4) in chicken samples.
IL-4 is a cytokine, a type of signaling molecule that plays a crucial role in regulating the immune system's response. It is involved in stimulating and modulating various immune cells, particularly T-helper cells, and plays roles in promoting antibody production, regulating inflammation, and influencing immune responses against pathogens.
ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) is a widely used laboratory technique used to detect and quantify specific proteins, such as cytokines, in biological samples. This kit utilizes antibodies that specifically recognize and bind to chicken IL-4, allowing for the precise measurement and quantification of its concentration in chicken samples.
The ultra-sensitive nature of this ELISA kit enables the detection of very low concentrations of IL-4, providing researchers with the ability to measure subtle changes in IL-4 levels in chicken samples accurately. This is particularly useful in immunological studies, poultry health research, or vaccine development where precise measurement of IL-4 levels is essential to understanding the immune response in chickens.
Studying IL-4 levels in chickens using this highly sensitive ELISA kit contributes to a better understanding of the chicken immune system, helps evaluate immune responses to pathogens or vaccines, and aids in the development of strategies to enhance poultry health and immunity.

Chicken IL4 Background
Interleukin 4 (IL-4) in chickens is a cytokine, a type of signaling molecule involved in regulating the immune system. IL-4 plays various roles in coordinating immune responses in birds, particularly in chickens.
Some key functions of IL-4 in chickens include:
- Regulation of Immune Responses: IL-4 is involved in modulating the activity of immune cells, particularly T-helper cells. It helps promote certain immune responses, including the development of specific types of T-helper cells and the stimulation of antibody production by B cells.
- Th2-Type Immune Response: IL-4 is associated with the activation of a specific immune response called the Th2 response. This type of response is involved in combating certain types of pathogens, particularly parasites, and in regulating allergic reactions.
- Influence on Immune Cells: IL-4 affects various immune cells, such as macrophages, dendritic cells, and certain subsets of T cells, influencing their function and activities within the immune system.
Studying IL-4 in chickens, including its production, regulation, and effects on the immune system, is important for understanding the chicken immune response to infections, vaccines, and environmental challenges. Specialized kits like the AffiELISA® Chicken IL4 Kit, which offer ultra-sensitive detection of IL-4, are valuable tools in poultry research. These tools aid in investigating immune responses, assessing immune health, and developing strategies to improve poultry health and immunity.
