Rabbit Interleukin 13 ELISA Kit | IL-13 elisa kit

Rabbit Interleukin 13 ELISA Kit

• Gene Names: IL13; P600; IL-13
• Reactivity: Rabbit
• Synonyms: Interleukin 13; Rabbit Interleukin 13 ELISA Kit; IL-13 elisa kit

• Reactivity: Rabbit
• Specificity: This kit recognizes recombinant and natural Rat IL-13, no significant cross-reactivity or interference was observed.

• Samples: Serum, Plasma, Tissue Homogenate, Feces, Urine and Body Fluids
• Detection Range: 6.25 - 200 pg/ml.
• Sensitivity: 1.0 pg/ml.
• Intended Uses: This ELISA kit is intended for laboratory in vitro research use only, not for drug, household or other use! The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm by a spectrophotometer. In order to measure the concentration of Rat IL-13 in the sample, this ELISA kit includes a set of calibration standards. The calibration standards are assayed at the same time as the samples and allow the operator to produce a standard curve of Optical Density versus Rat IL-13 concentration. The concentration of Rat IL-13 in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.
• Intra-assay Precision: Intra-assay CV (%) are less than 15%.
• Inter-assay Precision: Inter-assay CV (%) are less than 15%.
• Preparation and Storage: Store all reagents at 2-8 degree C

Introduction: ELISA is a simple and highly sensitive method of analysis that allows for simultaneous and rapid quantification of a large number of samples. The assay is based on the specific recognition of the target compound (analyte/antigen) by antibodies which bind to the compound. The antigen-antibody complex is detected and measured with the aid of an enzyme-labeled antibody or antigen. Upon addition of a non-colored reagent, the enzyme produces a color reaction where the color intensity is directly or inversely proportional to the concentration of the analyte in the sample.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes an immunoregulatory cytokine produced primarily by activated Th2 cells. This cytokine is involved in several stages of B-cell maturation and differentiation. It up-regulates CD23 and MHC class II expression, and promotes IgE isotype switching of B cells. This cytokine down-regulates macrophage activity, thereby inhibits the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. This cytokine is found to be critical to the pathogenesis of allergen-induced asthma but operates through mechanisms independent of IgE and eosinophils. This gene, IL3, IL5, IL4, and CSF2 form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 5q, with this gene particularly close to IL4. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

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.
