Abstract

Mammalian antibodies that are immunoreactive with Interleukin-4 receptor proteins, DNAs and expression vectors encoding mammalian IL-4 receptors, and processes for producing mammalian IL-4 receptors as products of cell culture, as well as antibodies that are immunoreactive with IL-4 receptors. A method for suppressing an IL-4-dependent immune or inflammatory response in a mammal, including a human, involves administering an effective amount of soluble IL-4 receptor (sIL-4R) and a suitable diluent or carrier.
