• Description: 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.
• Formulation/ Reconstitution: Lyophilized. Reconstitute with sterile phosphate-buffered saline containing at least 0.1% carrier protein.
• Purification: Ion-exchange chromatography.
• Purity: >95% as visualized by SDS-PAGE analysis.
