Anti-IL-13 Antibody, clone 1B10 ZooMAb^® Rabbit Monoclonal

Interleukin-13 (UniProt: P35225; also known as IL-13) is encoded by the IL13 (also known as NC30) gene (Gene ID: 3596) in human. IL-13 is an extracellular/secreted glycoprotein that is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-24), which is subsequently cleaved off to generate the mature form. IL-13 is an immunoregulatory cytokine that is released predominantly by CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and by mast cells and eosinophils and regulates the function of human B cells and monocytes. It is closely related to IL-4 in its biological function but the responses of cells to IL-13 appear to be smaller in magnitude. Both IL-4 and IL-13, independently of each other, are able to induce IgE antibody production. The intracellular site of storage of IL-13 in eosinophils is associated with the crystalloid granules, indicating that IL-13 is a preformed mediator and is released upon stimulation of degranulation. IL-13 signaling is mediated through a shared multi-subunit heterodimeric receptor complex consis

Clone 1B10 is a ZooMAb^® rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects IL-13. It targets an epitope within 15 amino acids from the C-terminal region.

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 µL.

Reconstitute lyophilized antibody pellet with 25μL of ultrapure water or Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS). Please refer to our reconstitution protocol and the specific application guidance on the suggested starting dilutions and sample type.

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 µL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
