Description of target: Interleukin-12 (IL12; formerly NKSF, for natural killer cell stimulatory factor, or CLMF, for cytotoxic lymphocyte maturation factor) is a novel cytokine cloned from B-cell lines. IL-12 is a heterodimeric molecule composed of p35 and p40 subunits.1 The larger 40-kDa subunit (p40) is a member of the cytokine receptor family, and the smaller 35-kDa subunit (p35) is related to IL6 and GCSF.2 Both IL-12 p40(-/-) and p35(-/-) mice fail to produce IL-12 p70 heterodimer.3 Interleukin (IL)-12 has been cloned on the basis of its ability to activate natural killer (NK) cells and promote the development of cytolytic T cells. With further understanding of its activities, IL-12 has emerged as an important cytokine, affecting both immune and hematologic functions. It has been shown to be necessary for the T cell independent induction of interferon (IFN)-gamma, critical for the initial suppression of bacterial and parasitic infection; for the development of a Th1 response, critical for effective host defense against intracellular pathogens; and for the activation of differentiated T lymphocytes of both CD4+ and CD8+ phenotype.4 The subunits map to different chromosomes: p40 (IL12B) to 5q31-q33 and p35 (IL12A) to 3p12-3q13.2.2 The standard product used in this kit is recombinant human IL-12(p40), which is a 40KDa glycoprotein consisting of 306 amino acids.;Species reactivity: Human;Application: ELISA;Assay info: ;Sensitivity: < 2 pg/ml
