The biological activities of IL-13 include suppression of macrophage cytotoxic activity, upregulation of IL-1RA expression and suppression of inflammatory cytokine expression. Applications Reported: PVM13-1 has been reported for use in intracellular flow cytometric analysis, cytokine neutralization, and ELISA. (Fluorochrome conjugated PVM13-1 is recommended for use in intracellular flow cytometry.) (Please use Functional Grade purified PVM13-1, cat. 16-7139, in functional assays.). Applications Tested: The PVM13-1 antibody has been tested as the capture antibody in a sandwich ELISA and ELISPOT assay for analysis of human interleukin-13 (IL-13) in combination with the biotinylated anti-human IL-13 polyclonal antibody (13-7138) antibody for detection and recombinant human IL-13 (14-8139) as the standard. A suitable range of concentrations of this antibody for ELISA capture is 1-4 µg/mL. A standard curve consisting of doubling dilutions of the recombinant standard over the range of 1000 pg/mL - 8 pg/mL should be included in each ELISA plate. Purity: Greater than 90%, as d
