Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Please note that the range provided for this antibody is only an estimation based on the performance of the product using the recommended antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody in your assay.

Activity summary

CXCL13 also known as B cell-attracting chemokine 1 (BCA-1) is a chemokine with a molecular weight of approximately 11 kDa. This protein plays an important mechanical role in the immune system by guiding the movement of B cells via chemotaxis. CXCL13 expression occurs mainly in secondary lymphoid tissues such as the spleen lymph nodes and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue. Its expression is also noted in certain non-lymphoid tissues under inflammatory conditions.

Biological function summary

In the context of immune response and lymphoid tissue organization CXCL13 attracts B cells by interacting with the chemokine receptor CXCR5. These interactions support the formation of B-cell follicles essential for efficient immune responses. CXCL13 is not known to be part of a larger protein complex but instead works through its specific receptor-ligand interactions. Its role in guiding cell migration is vital for the development of secondary lymphoid structures.

Pathways

CXCL13 is significantly involved in the B-cell receptor signaling pathway. The chemokine facilitates the homing of B cells to follicles an important step in the adaptive immune response. CXCL13 closely associates with CXCR5 its specific receptor playing a part in establishing the spatial organization of lymphoid tissues. Additionally the chemokine influences the germinal center reaction an integral part of the immune pathway for antibody maturation.

Associated diseases and disorders

CXCL13 levels have been linked to autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and certain types of lymphomas. In rheumatoid arthritis increased CXCL13 expression correlates with disease severity related to its role in recruiting B cells that contribute to chronic inflammation. In lymphomas particularly those involving B cells CXCL13 supports the growth and survival of malignant cells. Its association with disease states often involves changes in CXCR5 expression or function contributing to disrupted B-cell localization and abnormal immune responses.
