Initially cloned from cDNA libraries of activated T cells, human IL-13 is an immunoregulatory cytokine produced by Th2 type helper T cells in response to signaling through the T cell antigen receptor and by mast cells and basophils upon cross-linkage of the high-affinity receptor for immunoglobulin E (IgE). IL 13 is a key mediator in the pathogenesis of allergic inflammation sharing many functional properties with IL-4 including the alpha subunit of the IL-4 receptor (IL-4Rα). IL-13 mediates its effects by interacting with a complex receptor system comprised of IL-4Rα and two IL-13 binding proteins, IL-13Rα1 and IL-13Rα2. Ligation of the IL-13 receptor complex results in signaling via the insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1 and 2 and STAT-6 pathways. IL-13 has been implicated in airway hypersensitivity, mucus hypersecretion, inflammatory bowel disease, and parasitic nematode expulsion. In vitro studies suggest IL-13 decreases SARS-CoV-2 entry to bronchial epithelial cells.
Product DetailsProduct Details
- Source

- Purity
- > 95%, as determined by Coomassie stained SDS-PAGE.
- Formulation
- 0.1 µm filtered protein solution is in 10 mM NaH2PO4, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.2
- Endotoxin Level
- Less than 0.1 EU per µg of protein as determined by the LAL method.
- Concentration
- 25 µg and 100 µg sizes are bottled at 0.5 mg/mL
- Storage & Handling
- Unopened vial can be stored between 2°C and 8°C for up to 2 weeks, at -20°C for up to six months, or at -70°C or colder until the expiration date. For maximum results, quick spin the vial prior to opening. The protein can be aliquoted and stored at -20°C or colder. Stock solutions can also be prepared at 50 - 100 µg/mL in appropriate sterile buffer, carrier protein such as 0.2 - 1% endotoxin-free BSA or HSA can be added when preparing the stock solution. Aliquots can be stored between 2°C and 8°C for up to one week or stored at -20°C or colder for up to 3 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
