c. the CDR-L1 comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2, the CDR-L2 comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 4, the CDR-L3 comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 5, the CDR-H1 comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 14, the CDR-H2 comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 18, and the CDR-H3 comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 19.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

a. the VL comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 55 and the VH comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 91;

b. the VL comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 54 and the VH comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 91; or

c. the VL comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 44 and the VH chain scqucncc comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 91.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the isolated antibody binds to human IL-4Rα.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the isolated antibody binds to soluble human IL-4Rα.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the isolated antibody is a monoclonal antibody.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the isolated antibody is an immunoglobulin having a human isotype of IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG or IgM.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the isolated antibody is a human IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4 subtype.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the isolated antibody is a human IgG4 subtype.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the inflammation or allergic disease comprises atopic dermatitis.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the inflammation or allergic disease comprises asthma.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CDR-L1 comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2, the CDR-L2 comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 3, the CDR-L3 comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 8, the CDR-H1 comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 14, the CDR-H2 comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 18, and the CDR-H3 comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 19.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the isolated antibody is a monoclonal antibody.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the inflammation or allergic disease is selected from the group consisting of allergic dermatitis, asthma, eosinophilic esophagitis, eczema, allergic rhinitis, nasal polyp, and rheumatoid arthritis.
