Storage: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.
Biological Activity
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.
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].
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.
