The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37 degree C for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
Activity Data
(Figure. The binding activity of IL13 with IL13Ra1.Interleukin 13 (IL13) is cytokine secreted by many cell types, but especially T helper type 2 (Th2) cells. IL13 has effects on immune cells that are similar to those of the closely related cytokine IL4. Although IL13 is associated primarily with the induction of airway disease, it also has anti-inflammatory properties. IL13 induces a class of protein-degrading enzymes, known as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), in the airways. Furthermore, IL-13 can induce immunoglobulin E (IgE) secretion from activated human B cells. Besides, Interleukin 13 Receptor Alpha 1 (IL13Ra1) has been identified as an interactor of IL13, thus a binding ELISA assay was conducted to detect the interaction of recombinant rat IL13 and recombinant rat IL13Ra1. Briefly, IL13 were diluted serially in PBS, with 0.01% BSA (pH 7.4). Duplicate samples of 100uL were then transferred to IL13Ra1-coated microtiter wells and incubated for 2h at 37 degree C. Wells were washed with PBST and incubated for 1h with anti-IL13 pAb, then aspirated and washed 3 times. After incubation with HRP labelled secondary antibody, wells were aspirated and washed 3 times. With the addition of substrate solution, wells were incubated 15-25 minutes at 37 degree C. Finally, add 50uL stop solution to the wells and read at 450nm immediately. The binding activity of IL13 and IL13Ra1 was shown in Figure 1, and this effect was in a dose dependent manner.)
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
cytokine; involved in inflammatory and immune responses [RGD, Feb 2006]
Uniprot Description
IL13: Cytokine. Inhibits inflammatory cytokine production. Synergizes with IL2 in regulating interferon-gamma synthesis. May be critical in regulating inflammatory and immune responses. Defects in IL13 may be a cause of susceptibility to allergic rhinitis (ALRH). Allergic rhinitis is a common disease of complex inheritance and is characterized by mucosal inflammation caused by allergen exposure. Belongs to the IL-4/IL-13 family.

Product Notes
The IL13 il13 (Catalog #AAA2105067) is an Active Protein and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's Interleukin 13 (IL13) can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Cell Culture, Activity Assays. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the IL13 il13 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Interleukin 13 (IL13), Active Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
