Biological background
Biological context: Cytokine. Inhibits inflammatory cytokine production. Synergizes with IL2 in regulating interferon-gamma synthesis. May be critical in regulating inflammatory and immune responses.
Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Secreted., tissue context: Widely expressed, including in adult and fetal brain, placenta, skin fibroblasts, adipose tissue and gonads..
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): Compare Il13 levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of Il13 in tissue sections, considering fixation and antigen retrieval effects.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify Il13-positive populations in single-cell suspensions with appropriate gating and controls.
- ELISA: Use antibody-based detection formats to assess antigen presence or binding in plate-based assays.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Account for isoforms, post-translational modifications, and sample-specific processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
- Use positive/negative biological controls where possible (e.g., known-expressing cells/tissues, knockdown/knockout models) and include appropriate secondary-only/isotype controls for imaging workflows.
Additional product notes (from provided fields)
- Background: Interleukin 13 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL-13 gene. It is a kind of cytokine secreted by many cell types, but especially T helper type 2 (Th2) cells, which is an important mediator of allergic inflammation and disease. The IL-13 gene is mapped to 5q23-q31. IL-13 induces its effects through a multi-subunit receptor that includes the alpha chain of the IL-4 receptor (IL-4Rα) and at least one of two known IL-13-specific binding chains. Furthermore, this gene acts more prominently as a molecular bridge linking allergic inflammatory cells to the non-immune cells in contact with them, thereby altering physiological function.
- Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins
- Cellular localization: Secreted.
- Tissue details: Widely expressed, including in adult and fetal brain, placenta, skin fibroblasts, adipose tissue and gonads.
- Research category: Cytokines,Immunology,Innate Immunity,Interleukins
