ZooMAb^® antibodies represent an entirely new generation of recombinant monoclonal antibodies. Each ZooMAb^® antibody is manufactured using our proprietary recombinant expression system, purified to homogeneity, and precisely dispensed to produce robust and highly reproducible lot-to-lot consistency. Only top-performing clones are released for use by researchers. Each antibody is validated for high specificity and affinity across multiple applications, including its most commonly used application. ZooMAb^® antibodies are reliably available and ready to ship when you need them.

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.

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 15 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human IL-13.

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

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.

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.
