  • The Mouse IL-13 (Interleukin-13) ELISA is designed for the quantitative measurement of IL-13 in cell culture supernatants from mice and can also be used to measure IL-13 in a wide variety of biological sample types reported in the literature, including serum, plasma, whole blood, and tissue lysates from organs such as spleen, lung, lymph nodes, and liver. While the kit is optimized for cell culture supernatants, minor modifications to the protocol may be required when measuring IL-13 in other sample types to ensure optimal sensitivity and accuracy, allowing researchers to adjust buffers, antibody concentrations, incubation times, temperatures, and other assay conditions as needed. IL-13 is a pleiotropic cytokine produced primarily by activated T helper 2 (Th2) cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and innate lymphoid cells, and it plays a central role in regulation of allergic inflammation, airway hyperresponsiveness, mucus production, and B cell differentiation. In the mouse animal model, IL-13 is widely studied in the context of asthma, allergic disease, parasitic infection, and immunomodulatory therapy, where its expression serves as a key indicator of Th2 immune responses. Measurement of IL-13 provides valuable insight into immune regulation, cytokine signaling, disease progression, and the efficacy of therapeutic interventions, with reported levels in mice typically detected at low picogram-per-milliliter concentrations under basal conditions (~5-50 pg/mL in serum or plasma) and increasing to tens to several hundred picograms per milliliter following immune stimulation, allergic challenge, or infection, depending on sample type and experimental context. The kit contains a capture antibody, detection antibody, and recombinant mouse IL-13 protein standard for assay development, and these antibodies have been validated to function together in an ELISA format using the provided standard. The quantities of kit components are not matched, and individual components may be purchased separately. This product is for research use only and is manufactured in the USA.

Mouse Interleukin-13 (IL-13) is a Th2-associated cytokine produced primarily by activated CD4⁺ T helper 2 (Th2) cells, group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), mast cells, and basophils in mice (Mus musculus), where it plays a central role in regulating allergic inflammation, mucosal immunity, and tissue remodeling. IL-13 signals through receptor complexes composed of IL-13Rα1 and IL-4Rα, activating JAK/STAT6 pathways that promote IgE-associated responses, alternative (M2) macrophage activation, mucus production, and suppression of certain pro-inflammatory cytokines. Murine IL-13 is widely studied in experimental models of allergic airway disease (e.g., ovalbumin- or house dust mite–induced asthma models), where it drives airway hyperresponsiveness, goblet cell hyperplasia, eosinophilic infiltration, and airway remodeling. IL-13 also plays important roles in helminth infection models by promoting parasite expulsion and tissue repair, as well as in fibrosis models affecting the lung and liver. IL-13–deficient and STAT6-deficient mouse models have been instrumental in defining the molecular mechanisms of Th2 immunity and allergic pathology. As both a biomarker and therapeutic target, mouse IL-13 remains central to preclinical research on asthma, atopic disease, fibrosis, and development of cytokine-modulating therapies relevant to human type 2 inflammatory disorders.
