 e-Prints Soton - Kinetic analysis of the interleukin-13 receptor complex
Detailed kinetic analyses of the binding properties of the heteromeric complexes suggested a sequential mechanism for the binding of IL-13 to its signaling receptor, in which IL-13 first binds to IL-13Rα1 and this then recruits IL-4α to stabilize a high affinity interaction.
Interleukin (IL)-13 is a key cytokine associated with the asthmatic phenotype.

Although the exact genes controlling susceptibility to asthma have not been identified, several genome-wide searches have provided evidence for the linkage of asthma or asthma-related traits (serum IgE levels, skin test reactivity, bronchial hyper-responsiveness, blood eosinophils) to loci on multiple autosomal chromosomes [1,2,3,4,5,6].
Of particular interest is the 5q31-33 region, which contains the T helper type 2 (Th2) cytokine gene cluster [interleukin (IL)-4, IL-13, IL-5 and IL-9] and has been linked to asthma or related phenotypes in many studies [2,3,4,5,6,7,8].
To test for a genetic association with clinical asthma and IgE they conducted case control studies in a British population (150 young adults with asthma and atopy, and 150 controls) and a Japanese population (100 young adults with asthma and atopy, 100 subjects with non-atopic asthma, and 100 controls).

Study objectives: Experimental studies on asthma have indicated that interleukin (IL)-13 induces airway hyperreactivity (AHR).
Abbreviations: AHR = airway hyperresponsiveness; EB = eosinophilic bronchitis; IL = interleukin; IQR = interquartile range; PBMC = peripheral blood mononuclear cell; [PC.sub.20] = provocative concentration of a substance causing a 20% fall in [FEV.sub.1]; PMA = phorbol myristate acetate; Th2 = T helper type 2
(1) The excessive production of interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, and IL-13 by T-helper type 2 (Th2) cells is implicated in the development of asthma, (2,3) IL-5 mobilizes eosinophils from the bone marrow pool, and chemokines, such as eotaxin-1, induce the recruitment of eosinophils into the airway of experimental asthma models.
