Interleukin-13 Mouse Recombinant
IL13 is an immunoregulatory cytokine produced primarily by activated Th2 cells. IL-13 is involved in several stages of B-cell maturation and differentiation. It up-regulates CD23 and MHC class II expression, and promotes IgE isotype switching of B cells. This cytokine down-regulates macrophage activity, thereby inhibits the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. This cytokine is found to be critical to the pathogenesis of allergen-induced asthma but operates through mechanisms independent of IgE and eosinophils. This gene, IL3, IL5, IL4, and CSF2 form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 5q, with this gene particularly close to IL4.
| Description | Interleukin-13 Mouse Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 110 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 12 kDa. The IL-13 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Content | Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods 1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.69 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the PC GENE computer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics). 2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a calibrated solution of IL-13 as a Reference Standard. |
| Synonyms | Interleukin-13, NC300, ALRH, BHR1, P600, IL-13, IL13. |
| Source | Escherichia Coli. |
| Amino Acid Sequence | The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and found to be Met-Pro-Val-Pro-Arg. |
| Purity | >96% as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC |
| Formulation | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. The protein (1mg/ml) was lyophilized with no additives. |
| Stability | The lyophilized form of the protein is stable at room temperature for 3 weeks and at -20°C for at least 2 years from the date of receipt. Upon reconstitution, the protein should be stored at 4°C for no more than 7 days. The protein is stable at -20°C for six months. For long term storage, please store at -80°C and the addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is recommended. Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Biological Activity | The ED50 range=2-6 ng/ml corresponding to a specific activity of 0.17-0.5MU/mg, determined by the dose dependent prolifiration of TF-1 cells. |
| Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Interleukin 13 in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
| Usage | LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. Not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. |
