  • Rabbit IL-13 (Interleukin-13) (catalog RP1198U) is a yeast-derived cytokine supplied lyophilized without carrier protein in 10% trehalose; it has no affinity tags and is naturally endotoxin-free, and should be reconstituted in sterile PBS that contains at least 0.1% carrier protein. The protein is ~12.5 kDa, 112 amino acids long (full sequence provided), and >98% pure by SDS-PAGE, with 100% amino-acid homology to rabbit. Store at -20°C (stable up to twelve months from date of receipt; working aliquots with carrier protein stable ~3 months) and avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Product origin is the USA. It is commonly used to study IL-13 signaling and immune responses (including regulation of Th2-mediated inflammation and cytokine production); typical experimental uses include cell-culture stimulation and dosing studies, cytokine signaling assays, ELISA and neutralization assays, flow-cytometry and Western blot controls, and antibody generation/validation.

Rabbit Interleukin-13 (IL-13) is a Th2-associated cytokine produced primarily by activated CD4⁺ T helper 2 (Th2) cells and other type 2 immune populations in rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus), 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 alternative (M2) macrophage activation, IgE-associated responses, mucus production, and modulation of pro-inflammatory cytokine signaling. In rabbit health, IL-13 is particularly relevant in parasitic infections, allergic skin disease, and respiratory inflammation, where Th2 polarization contributes to eosinophilic infiltration and tissue repair but may also promote chronic inflammation or fibrosis if dysregulated. Rabbits are widely used as models for asthma, pulmonary inflammation, atherosclerosis, and ocular inflammatory disease, and IL-13 plays a key role in experimental airway hyperresponsiveness and mucus hypersecretion models. As both a biomarker and functional mediator of type 2 immune responses, rabbit IL-13 supports studies of Th1/Th2 immune balance, cytokine-driven tissue remodeling, and development of targeted anti-cytokine therapies relevant to human allergic and fibrotic diseases.
