The IgG4 Antibody (Rabbit Monoclonal, Clone EP138) from GeneBioSolution is a high-quality antibody optimized for immunohistochemistry (IHC) on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues). Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) is a subclass of IgG with unique structural and functional properties, playing a role in immune tolerance, chronic inflammation, and autoimmune conditions. This antibody provides sensitive and specific cytoplasmic staining of IgG4-positive plasma cells with minimal background. The EP138 clone is widely recognized as a diagnostic marker for IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD), including conditions such as autoimmune pancreatitis, sclerosing cholangitis, retroperitoneal fibrosis, and inflammatory pseudotumors. In pathology, IgG4 immunohistochemistry is essential for quantifying IgG4-positive plasma cells, which supports the diagnosis of IgG4-RD when correlated with histological features and serum IgG4 levels. In research, IgG4 antibodies are valuable for studying immune regulation, allergy, tolerance, and B-cell biology. All GeneBioSolution antibodies undergo strict validation and quality control, ensuring lot-to-lot consistency, strong staining intensity, and reproducible IHC results on both manual and automated platforms.
