IL-13 is a 17 kDa immunoregulatory cytokine that plays a key role in the pathogenesis of allergic asthma and atopy. It is secreted by Th1 and Th2 CD4+ T cells, NK cells, visceral smooth muscle cells, eosinophils, mast cells, and basophils (1-3). IL-13 circulates as a monomer with two internal disulfide bonds that contribute to a bundled four alpha -helix configuration (4, 5). Mature mouse IL-13 shares 57%, 75%, and 58% amino acid sequence identity with human, rat, and rhesus IL-13, respectively. Despite the low homology, it exhibits cross-species activity between human, mouse, and rat (6, 7). IL-13 has diverse activities on numerous cell types (8). On macrophages, IL-13 suppresses the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and other cytotoxic substances. On B cells, IL-13 induces immunoglobulin class switching to IgE, upregulates the expression of MHC class II, CD71, CD72, and CD23, and costimulates proliferation. IL-13 upregulates IL-6 while downregulating IL-1 and TNF-alpha production by fibroblasts and endothelial cells. IL-13 binds with low affinity to IL-13 R alpha 1, triggering IL-13 R alpha 1 association with IL-4 R alpha. This high affinity receptor complex also functions as the type 2 IL-4 receptor complex (9, 10). Additionally, IL-13 binds with high affinity to IL-13 R alpha 2 which is expressed intracellularly, on the cell surface, and as a soluble molecule (11-14). IL-13 R alpha 2 regulates the bioavailability of both IL-13 and IL-4 and is overexpressed in glioma and several bronchial pathologies (10, 15, 16). Compared to wild type IL-13, the atopy-associated R110Q variant of IL-13 elicits increased responsiveness from eosinophils that express low levels of IL-13 R alpha 2 (17).

Cell Proliferation Induced by IL‑13 and Neutralization by Mouse IL‑13 Antibody.
Recombinant Mouse IL-13 (Catalog # 413-ML) stimulates proliferation in the TF-1 human erythroleukemic cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). Proliferation elicited by Recombinant Mouse IL-13 (10 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Rat Anti-Mouse IL-13 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB413). The ND50 is typically 0.3-0.8 µg/mL.Mouse IL-13 ELISA Standard Curve
Recombinant Mouse IL‑13 (Catalog # 413-ML) was serially diluted and captured by Rat Anti-Mouse IL‑13 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB413) coated on a Clear Polystyrene Microplate (Catalog # DY990). Goat Anti-Mouse IL‑13 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-413-NA) was biotinylated and incubated with the protein captured on the plate. Detection of the standard curve was achieved by incubating Streptavidin-HRP (Catalog # DY998)Detection of IL-13 by Immunohistochemistry
Pharmacologic inhibition of the tuft cell-ILC2 circuit reduces gastric tumor growth.a Schematic outline of the antibody-mediated blockade of IL13 or IL25. 13-week-old mice were treated with either alpha -IL13, alpha -IL25 or a matched IgG isotype control (300 μg/20 g mouse, once weekly for 3 weeks). Mice were culled one week after the third injection. EP = endpoint. b Representative images of gp130F/F stomachs treated as described in Fig. 3a. Dotted circles indicate tumors.
