Description of Human IL-13

Interleukin-13 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 112 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 12 kDa. The IL-13 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Biological Activity

The ED₅₀ was determined by the dose dependent prolifiration of TF-1 cells and was found to be < 1ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of >1 x 106units/mg.

Reconstitution

We recommend a quick spin followed by reconstitution in sterile water to a concentration of at least 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. Do not vortex.

Stability

Lyophilized Interleukin-13 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution IL13 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
