Product Specific Information

Description: BMS133 blocks IL-13-induced proliferation.

Human IL-13 is a nonglycosylated protein of 132 amino acids with a molecular weight of 12 kDa. The IL-13 gene is located on chromosome 5q23-31, in the same region as the genes encoding IL-3, IL-4, IL-5 and GM-CSF. It is produced by activated CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, but the expression seems to be more abundant in CD4+ T cells. Although it is a Th2 cytokine in the mouse, it appears to be produced by Th0, Th1, and Th2-like human T cell clones.

IL-13 induces CD23 expression on B cells, promotes B cell proliferation in combination with anti-Ig or CD40 antibodies, and stimulates secretion IgE, and IgG4. IL-13 has also been shown to prolong survival of human monocytes and increases surface expression of MHC class II, CD23, and members of the integrin superfamily, like CD11b, CD11c, CD18, CD29 and CD49e. IL-13 inhibits the production of a series of cytokines like IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha, and IL-8 by activated human monocytes. IL-13 induces IFN-gamma production by NK cells.

The capacity of IL-13 to induce IgE synthesis indicates that IL-13 may play an important regulatory role in IgE-mediated atopic diseases.

Target Information

IL-13 is an immunoregulatory cytokine produced primarily by activated Th2 cells, and is involved in regulating inflammatory and immune responses. IL-13 down-regulates macrophage activity, thereby inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, and is involved in allergen-induced asthma through mechanisms independent of IgE and eosinophils. IL-13 also regulates several stages of B cell maturation and differentiation, up-regulates CD23 and MHC class II expression, and promotes IgE isotype switching of B cells. Structurally, IL-13 closely resembles IL-3, IL-4, IL-5 and GM-CSF. The gene encoding IL-13, IL3, IL5, IL4, and CSF2 form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 5q, with the IL-13 gene particularly close to IL4.
