IL-13Rα2 Antibody (B-D13) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects IL-13Rα2 in human samples through applications such as immunofluorescence (IF), immunohistochemistry with paraffin-embedded sections (IHCP), and flow cytometry (FCM). IL-13Rα2 plays a significant role in modulating interleukin-13 effects, a key cytokine involved in allergic responses and asthma. Unlike IL-13Rα1, which promotes signaling pathways leading to inflammation, IL-13Rα2 functions primarily as a decoy receptor, binding IL-13 without initiating a signaling cascade. This unique characteristic provides a mechanism for negative feedback in IL-13 signaling, helping regulate immune responses and prevent excessive inflammation. IL-13Rα2 expression is particularly prominent in glioma cells, suggesting potential roles in tumor biology and development of therapeutic strategies targeting IL-13 pathways. Anti-IL-13Rα2 antibody (B-D13) enables researchers to gain valuable insights into IL-13 signaling dynamics and implications in various diseases, including allergic conditions and cancer.
