	Description	Clone REA235 recognizes the CD124 antigen, a 140 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein which is also known as interleukin-4 receptor subunit alpha (IL-4Rα). CD124 is expressed on both B and T lymphocytes, and on cells of several other hematopoietic lineages, including mast cell, macrophage, and undifferentiated hematopoietic cell lines. CD124 is a receptor for both IL-4 and IL-13. The functional IL-4 receptor is formed by initial binding of IL-4 to IL-4R. Subsequent recruitment to the complex of the common γ chain, in immune cells, creates a type I receptor and, in non-immune cells, of CD213a1 (IL-13RA1) forms a type II receptor. IL-4R can also interact with the IL-13/CD213a1 complex to form a similar type II receptor. The type I IL-4 receptor complex specifically binds IL-4 whereas the type II IL-4R binds either IL-4 or IL-13. The IL-4/IL-13 responses are involved in regulating the IgE production in B cells and in alternative activation of macrophages. Binding of IL-4 to CD124 on T cells promotes differentiation of Tʜ2 cells. Clone REA235 blocks the binding of IL-4 to cells and also recognizes the soluble truncated form of CD124. \| Additional information: Clone REA235 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors. \|

	CD124	This gene encodes the alpha chain of the interleukin-4 receptor, a type I transmembrane protein that can bind interleukin 4 and interleukin 13 to regulate IgE production. The encoded protein also can bind interleukin 4 to promote differentiation of Th2 cells. A soluble form of the encoded protein can be produced by proteolysis of the membrane-bound protein, and this soluble form can inhibit IL4-mediated cell proliferation and IL5 upregulation by T-cells. Allelic variations in this gene have been associated with atopy, a condition that can manifest itself as allergic rhinitis, sinusitus, asthma, or eczema. Polymorphisms in this gene are also associated with resistance to human immunodeficiency virus type-1 infection. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

	APC	Allophycocyanin (APC) is a fluorescent protein derived from cyanobacteria and red algae and a potent donor fluorophore to create tandem dyes that can be excited off the 633-640 nm laser. APC has an excitation peak at 650 nm and a emission peak at 660 nm.
