Scientific Data Images for Human IL-13 Antibody (31606)

Detection of IL-13 antibody in Human PBMCs antibody by Flow Cytometry.

Detection of IL‑13 in Human PBMCs by Flow Cytometry.

Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) treated with 5 ng/mL Recombinant Human IL-4 (Catalog # 204-IL) and 10 µg/mL Goat Anti-Human IFN-gamma Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-285-NA) for 3 days were stained with Mouse Anti-Human IL-13 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB2131) followed by Allophycocyanin-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # F0101B) and Mouse Anti-Human CD4 PE-conjugated Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # FAB3791P). Quadrant markers were set based on control antibody staining (Catalog # MAB002).
Cell Proliferation Induced by IL‑13 and Neutralization by Human IL‑13 Antibody.

Cell Proliferation Induced by IL‑13 and Neutralization by Human IL‑13 Antibody.

Recombinant Human IL-13 (Catalog # 213-ILB) stimulates proliferation in the TF-1 human erythroleukemic cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). Proliferation elicited by Recombinant Human IL-13 (10 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concen-trations of Mouse Anti-Human IL-13 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB2131). The ND50 is typically 1-4 µg/mL.

Applications for Human IL-13 Antibody (31606)

Application
Recommended Usage

CyTOF-ready

Ready to be labeled using established conjugation methods. No BSA or other carrier proteins that could interfere with conjugation.

Intracellular Staining by Flow Cytometry

0.25 µg/106 cells
Sample: Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) treated with Recombinant Human IL‑4 (Catalog # 204-IL) and Goat Anti-Human IFN‑ gamma Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-285-NA)

Western Blot

1 µg/mL
Sample: Recombinant Human IL‑13 (Catalog # 213-ILB)

Neutralization

Measured by its ability to neutralize IL‑13-induced proliferation in the TF‑1 human erythroleukemic cell line. Kitamura, T. et al. (1989) J. Cell Physiol. 140:323. The Neutralization Dose (ND50) is typically 1-4 µg/mL in the presence of 10 ng/mL Recombinant Human IL‑13.

Background: IL-13

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 human IL-13 shares 57%, 59%, and 94% amino acid sequence identity with mouse, 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 proinflammatory 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 over-expressed 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).
