Recombinant :
Recombinant Human Interleukin-13 Variant (rHuIL-13 variant) Source :
Escherichia coli. Molecular Weight :
Approximately 12.5 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 114 amino acids, with a substitution of Q for R at position 112 compared with the wild type IL-13. Purity :
>95% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses. Biological Activity :
Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependent proliferation of TF-1 cells was < 1.0 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 1×106 units/mg. This analog has also been shown to exhibit increased in vivo activity compared to wild type IL-13. Physical Appearance :
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. Formulation :
Lyophilized from a 0.2m filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.2, containing 5% trehalose. AA Sequence :
SPGPVPPSTA LRELIEELVN ITQNQKAPLC NGSMVWSINL TAGMYCAALE SLINVSGCSA IEKTQRMLSG FCPHKVSAGQ FSSLHVRDTK IEVAQFVKDL LLHLKKLFRE GQFN Endotoxin :
Less than 1EU/g of rHuIL-13 variant as determined by LAL method. Reconstitution :
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at <-20C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions. Storage :
This lyophilized preparation is stable for several weeks at 2-8C, but should be kept at -20C for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is stable for up to one week at 2-8C. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20C to -70C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Usage :
This material is offered by USA Bioworld biotech for research, laboratory or further evaluation purposes. NOT FOR HUMAN USE. Made in China Description :
The human IL-13 cDNA encodes a 132 amino acid protein containing a proposed 20 amino acid signal peptide. Human IL-13 shares approximately 30% amino acid sequence homology to human IL-4 and the two cytokines exhibit overlapping biological activities. Human IL-13 is produced by activated Th0, Th1-like Th2-like and CD8 T cells. Similarly to IL-4, IL-13 has multiple effects on the differentiation and functions of monocytes/macrophages. IL-13 can suppress the cytotoxic functions of monocytes/macrophages. It can also suppress the production of proinflammatory cytokines and upregulate the production of IL-1ra by monocytes/macrophages.
