iIL13Pred: improved prediction of IL-13 inducing peptides using popular machine learning classifiers
Background Inflammatory mediators play havoc in several diseases including the novel Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and generally correlate with the severity of the disease.

Background: Interleukin (IL)-13 induces goblet cell metaplasia and plays an important role in mucus hypersecretion in asthma. We previously reported that IL-13 induced goblet cell differentiation along with less ciliated cell differentiation in guinea ...

Differential Effects of Alarmins on Human and Mouse Basophils
Epithelial-derived alarmins (IL-33, TSLP, and IL-25) play an upstream role in the pathogenesis of asthma. Basophil-derived cytokines are a pivotal component of allergic inflammation.

Interleukin-13 (IL-13) Pathway [PDF]
Interleukin-13 (IL-13), like IL-4, is a cytokine produced by T H 2 type helper T cells in response to signaling through the T cell antigen receptor and by mast cells and basophils upon cross-linkage of the high-affinity receptor for immunoglobulin E (IgE). It is also produced by activated eosinophils.

Effects of IL-13 on murine listeriosis [PDF]
Acquired resistance against Listeria monocytogenes is a typical T helper (Th) 1 dominated immune response, whereas Th2 cytokines are thought to worsen listeriosis. We investigated effects of recombinant IL-13 (rIL-13) on the host response to L. monocytogenes in mice.

IL-13 Receptor α2 Selectively Inhibits IL-13-Induced Responses in the Murine Lung [PDF]
Abstract IL-13 is a critical cytokine at sites of Th2 inflammation. In these locations it mediates its effects via a receptor complex, which contains IL-4Rα and IL-13Rα1. A third, high-affinity IL-13 receptor, IL-13Rα2, also exists. Although it was initially felt to be a decoy receptor, this has not been formally demonstrated and the ...
