Rat IL-13 ELISA Kit

Product details

Rat IL-13 ELISA Kit (ab269547) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of IL-13 protein in edta plasma, serum, urine, and cell culture media. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Rat IL-13 with 20.03 pg/ml sensitivity.

SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:

- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips

A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

Interleukin-13 (IL-13) is a secreted immunoregulatory cytokine in the IL-4/IL-13 family that is linked to allergic reactions and cancer pathogenesis. IL-13 inhibits inflammatory cytokine production and promotes immunoglobulin class switching on B-cells. IL-13 synergizes with IL-2 in regulating interferon-gamma synthesis. IL-13 is linked to allergic rhinitis, a common disease of complex inheritance characterized by mucosal inflammation caused by allergen exposure. The antibodies for this kit were raised against a recombinant peptide fragment of the mature rat protein.
