		Technical Data
I8435-13B	IL-13 Ra1 (PerCP)

Description:
Two type I 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 is now referred to as IL-13 Ra1 and is also known as CD213a. IL-13 Ra1 combines with IL-4 Ra to form a high affinity receptor complex capable of transducing an IL-13-dependent proliferative signal. The high affinity IL-13 binding protein is now referred to as IL-13 Ra2, which acts as a decoy receptor.

Applications:
Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilution:
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Hybridoma:
Myeloma cells with B cells from Balb/c mice.

Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4°C before opening. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4°C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. Stable for at least 12 months at 4°C. Freezing PerCP conjugates will result in a substantial loss of activity. PerCP conjugates are sensitive to light.
