Interleukin-13 (IL-13) is produced by TH2-type cells as well as mast cells and NK cells in response to activation. It regulates the secretion of IgE by B cells and the TH2-type cell development and suppresses inflammatory responses by regulation of macrophage function.
All kits include a recombinant cytokine standard calibrated against an international standard (NIBSC).
Cross-reactivity has been assessed and confirmed with certain non-human primate species.
ELISA kit for quantitative determination of native and recombinant human IL-13 in biological fluids such as serum, plasma and cell culture supernatants. The kit contains capture mAb, biotinylated detection mAb, streptavidin-enzyme conjugate ALP and a cytokine standard. The determination of IL-13 in human serum/plasma samples by this kit requires the use of ELISA diluent (code: 3652-D2) for dilution of samples, standard and detection antibody.
