Scientific Data Images for Human IL-13 R alpha2 Antibody

Detection of Human IL-13 Ra2 antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Human IL‑13 R alpha2 by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of human placenta tissue and human testis tissue. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.2 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human IL-13 Ra2 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF146) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF017). A specific band was detected for IL-13 Ra2 at approximately 50-55 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.
IL-13 Ra2 antibody in Human Prostate Cancer Tissue by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P).

IL-13 R alpha2 in Human Prostate Cancer Tissue.

IL-13 Ra2 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human prostate cancer tissue using Goat Anti-Human IL-13 Ra2 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF146) at 5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS008) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to glandular epithelial cells. View our protocol for Chromogenic IHC Staining of Paraffin-embedded Tissue Sections.
Detection of Human IL-13 Ra2 antibody by Simple WesternTM.

Detection of Human IL‑13 R alpha2 by Simple WesternTM.

Simple Western lane view shows lysates of human placenta tissue and human testis tissue, loaded at 0.2 mg/mL. A specific band was detected for IL-13 Ra2 at approximately 59 kDa (as indicated) using 10 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human IL-13 Ra2 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF146) followed by 1:50 dilution of HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF109). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using the 12-230 kDa separation system.

Applications for Human IL-13 R alpha2 Antibody

Application
Recommended Usage

Blockade of Receptor-ligand Interaction

In a functional ELISA, 2-6 µg/mL of this antibody will block 50% of the binding of 100 ng/mL of Recombinant Human IL-13 (Catalog # 213‑ILB) to immobilized Recombinant Human IL-13 R alpha2 Fc Chimera (Catalog # 614-INS) coated at 4 µg/mL (100 µL/well). At 40 μg/mL, this antibody will block >90% of the binding.

CyTOF-ready

Ready to be labeled using established conjugation methods. No BSA or other carrier proteins that could interfere with conjugation.

Background: IL-13 R alpha 2

Two type1 membrane proteins belonging to the hemopoietin receptor family have been cloned and shown to bind IL-13 with differing affinities. The lower affinity IL-13 binding protein, previously designated IL-13 R alpha, IL-13 R alphal or NR4, is now referred to as IL-13 R alpha1. The high affinity IL-13 binding protein, previously also designated IL-13 R or IL-13 R alphal, is now referred to as IL-13 R alpha2. Human IL-13 R alpha2 was originally cloned from the Caki-1 human renal carcinoma cell line. The IL-13 R alpha2 cDNA encodes a 380 amino acid (aa) residue precursor protein with a putative 26 aa residue signal peptide, a 317 residue extracellular domain, a 20 aa residue transmembrane region and a 17 aa residue cytoplasmic tail. Human and mouse IL‑13 R alpha2 share 59% aa sequence identity. The extracellular domain of IL-13 R alpha2 is also closely related to that of IL-13 R alpha1. However, the 17 aa residue cytoplasmic domain of IL-13 R alpha2 is much shorter than that of IL-13 R alpha1, suggesting that the two receptors are functionally distinct. IL-13 R alpha1 has been shown to combine with the IL-4 R to form a high-affinity receptor complex capable of transducing an IL‑13‑dependent proliferative signal. The role of IL-13 R alpha2 in IL-13 signaling remains to be elucidated. The amino-terminal 27 aa residues of the human and mouse IL‑13 R alpha2 are nearly identical to that of a soluble mouse IL-13 binding protein purified from mouse serum and urine.
