Immunogen: Expression system for standard: E.coli; Immunogen sequence: S26-F131
Purity and Specificity: Natural and recombinant mouse IL-13. There is no detectable cross-reactivity with other relevant proteins.
Background: Interleukin(IL)-13 is a major inducer of fibrosis in many chronic infectious and autoimmune diseases. Recombinant IL-13 protein inhibits inflammatory cytokine production induced by lipopolysaccharide in human peripheral blood monocytes. Moreover, it synergizes with IL-13 in regulating interferon-gamma synthesis in large granular lymphocytes. Interleukin-13 may be critical in regulating inflammatory and immune responses. IL-13 and IL-4 are two cytokines produced by T helper type 2 cells, mast cells, and basophils. In addition to their physiological roles, these cytokines are also implicated in pathological conditions such as asthma and allergy. The genes encoding human IL-4 and IL-13 are located on segment q23-31 of chromosome 5.4 Recombinant mouse IL-13 is a mixture of Ser26-Phe131 amino acids with the molecular mass of 11.5KDa.
Low Endotoxin: No
