Description

The eBio13A antibody reacts with mouse IL-13. IL-13 is a cytokine produced mainly by Th2 cells, but also by antigen-primed CD8 T cells. IL-13 has a strong involvement in allergic inflammation and parasitic clearing and in cancer models has been shown to have either inhibitory or stimulatory activity depending on the tumor. In humans, IL-13 is found to play a role in isotype switching in B cells. IL-13 is implicating in down modulating macrophage activity, through the reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12)

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. The eBio13A antibody has been reported useful for ELISA and ELISPOT capture, as well as intracellular staining for flow cytometric analysis.

Applications Tested

The biotinylated eBio13A antibody has been tested as the detection antibody in a sandwich ELISA for analysis of mouse interleukin-13 (IL-13) in combination with the purified eBio1316H (14-7135) antibody for capture and recombinant mouse IL-13 (14-8131) as the standard. A suitable range of concentrations of this antibody for ELISA detection is 0.5-2 µg/ml. A standard curve consisting of doubling dilutions of the recombinant standard over the range of 1000 pg/ml - 8 pg/ml should be included in each ELISA plate.

For intracellular staining of mouse IL-13, the fluorochrome labelled eBio13A antibody is recommended.
