Description
IL-13 Protein, Human (HEK 293, mFc) is a cytokine which affects the morphology, growth, and surface antigen expression and phenotype of monocytes and elicits B cell proliferation. IL-13 Protein, Human (HEK 293, mFc) is a recombinant human interleukin-13 (rhIL-13) expressed in HEK 293 cells with the mFc tag.
Background
Interleukin-13 is a cytokine which is secreted by activated T lymphocytes and primarily impacts monocytes, macrophages, and B cells. The circular dichroism spectrum confirms that interleukin-13 belongs to the alpha-helical family of cytokines. Interleukin- 13 affects the morphology, growth, and surface antigen expression and phenotype of monocytes and elicits B cell proliferation, Ig class switching to IgE synthesis, and enhanced production of IgG4 and IgM. In human macrophages and monocytes,hIL-13 has been shown to inhibit HIV replication. Human IL-13 also inhibits proinflammatory cyto-kines induced by LPS exposure, indicating poten-tial therapeutic applicationsas an anti-inflammatory agent[1].
Verified Bioactivity
Measured in a cell proliferation assay using TF-1 human erythroleukemic cells The ED50 for this effect is 349.05-615.42 ng/mL.

Product Properties
Lyophilized powder.
Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.
<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.
It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).
Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
Room temperature in continental US;may vary elsewhere.
