IL-13 shares many functional properties with IL-4, and they share a common receptor subunit, the alpha subunit of the IL-4 receptor (IL-4Ralpha). IL-13 mediates its effects by interacting with a complex receptor system comprised of IL-4Ralpha and two IL-13 binding proteins, IL-13Ralpha1 and IL-13Ralpha2. Ligation of the IL-13 receptor complex results in signaling via the insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1 and 2 and STAD-6 pathways. IL-13, like IL-4, is a cytokine produced by Th2 type helper T cells in response to signaling through the T cell antigen receptor and by mast cells and basophils upon cross-linkage of the high-affinity receptor for immunoglobulin E (IgE). IL-13 has been implicated in airway hypersensitivity and mucus hypersecretion, inflammatory bowel disease, and parasitic nematode expulsion.  BioLegend’s LEGEND MAX™ Human IL-13 ELISA Kit is a sandwich Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA), in which, a Human IL-13 specific monoclonal antibody is pre-coated on a 96-well strip-well plate.  This Human IL-13 ELISA Kit is specifically designed for the accurate quantitation of Human IL-13 from cell culture supernatant, serum, plasma or other bodily fluids. It is ready-to-use, accurate, and sensitive.\u003cbr\u003e\n5precoatedplates\u003cbr\u003e\nVerified Reactivity: Human\u003cbr\u003e\nApplication: ELISA\u003cbr\u003e\nProduct Citations: Xu D, et al. 2021.

What is the purpose of this step?\u003cbr\u003e\nA: We typically use a stabilizer for pre-coated plates. The additional washing step is designed to remove these components before you start the assay. If you do not perform the washing, the effect on assay performance is negligible.\u003cbr\u003e\nQ: I have multiple LEGEND MAX™ ELISA kits that I want to run simultaneously. Can I use the same wash buffer for all the kits?\u003cbr\u003e\nA: The wash buffer provided in all our LEGEND MAX™ kits is the same and the part numbers on the wash buffer bottles in these kits should be identical. For ELISA MAX™ Deluxe and ELISA MAX™ Standard Sets, we provide a recipe for the wash buffer on each kit’s technical data sheet. This recipe is the same for all ELISA MAX™ sets.\u003cbr\u003e\nQ: For some of your ELISA kits, why do my serum samples require dilution with assay buffer?\u003cbr\u003e\nA: In some cases, dilution with assay buffer is required to minimize the matrix difference between the samples and the standards to achieve better accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Biolegend","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46864122544297,"sku":"435208","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/biolegend-435208","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
