The B69-2 antibody reacts with human interleukin-13 (IL-13). The immunogen used to generate the B69-2 hybridoma was recombinant human IL-13 protein.
ELISA Detection: The biotinylated monoclonal mouse anti-human IL-13 antibody (Cat. No. 555054) is useful as a detection antibody for a sandwich ELISA for measuring human IL-13 protein levels. Biotinylated monoclonal mouse anti-human IL-13 antibody can be paired with the purified JES10-5A2 capture antibody (Cat. No. 554570), with recombinant human IL-13 as the standard. Biotinylated monoclonal mouse anti-human IL-13 antibody should be titrated (0.5 - 2.0 µg/ml) to determine optimal concentration for ELISA detection. To obtain linear standard curves, doubling dilutions of human IL-13 ranging from ~4,000 to 30 pg/ml are recommended for inclusion in each ELISA plate.

Note 1: This ELISA pair shows no cross-reactivity with any of the cytokines tested (e.g., mouse IL-1β, IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-7, IL-9, IL-10, IL-12 p70, IL-15, GM-CSF, IFN-γ, MCP-1, TCA-3, TNF-α; human IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-9, IL-10, IL-11, IL-12 p70, IL-12 p40, IL-15, G-CSF, GM-CSF, IFN-γ, lymphotactin, MCP-1, MCP-2, MIP-1α, MIP-1β, NT3, PDGF-AA, sCD23 , SCF, TNF, LT-α, VEGF; rat IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, GM-CSF, IFN-γ, TNF). Note 2: This ELISA pair is recommended primarily for measuring cytokine from experimental cell culture systems. These ELISA reagents are not optimized for assay of serum or plasma samples.
The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated with biotin under optimum conditions, and unreacted biotin was removed. Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.
1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.

3. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
