Biological Activity

Description

IL-13 Protein, Rat is a cytokine secreted by many cell types, but especially T helper type 2 (Th2) cells, that is an important mediator of allergic inflammation and disease.

Background

Interleukin (IL)-13 plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of allergic asthma. Passive administration of its monoclonal antibody or soluble receptor to block overproduced IL-13 has been proven to be effective in controlling airway allergic responses in animal models, but these approaches have disadvantages of short half-lives, high costs, and possible adverse effects. IL-13 induces the gene expression of Ca2+-activating chloride channel, stimulates the differentiation of epithelial cells, and promotes mucin gene expression and release. IL-13 plays a key role in the pathogenesis of asthma[1].

Verified Bioactivity

The ED50 was determined by the dose-dependent proliferation of TF-1 cells is ≤ 5.0 ng/mL, corresponding to a specific activity of ≥ 2x105 units/mg.
