cell culture processing. No animal- or human-derived materials were used for the manufacture of this product, unless otherwise stated in the respective Certificate of Origin. The product is lyophilized without carrier protein or preservatives.

Detailed product information

Background information

Interleukin 12 (IL-12) is a heterodimeric proinflammatory cytokine and a modulator of cell-mediated immunity, which is mainly produced by macrophages, dendritic cells, and B cells.

IL-12 stimulates the production and secretion of several cytokines, in particular IFN-γ, by NK cells and T cells, induces proliferation, and enhances the cytotoxic activity within these cell populations.

Another important activity of IL-12, acting together with IFN-γ and IL-2, is to drive T helper cell responses toward the TH 1 rather than the TH 2 phenotype. Moreover, IL-12 is also important in resistance to viral disease and has significant antitumor activity.

It has been shown that single chain fusion proteins of naturally occurring heterodimeric cytokines such as IL-12 or IL-23 are bioactive

in vitro

and in

vivo

^2-4

Applications

Human IL-12 can be used for a variety of applications, including:

In vitro differentiation of naive CD4⁺ T cells towards TH 1 cells.
In vitro proliferation and stimulation of cytotoxic activity of NK cells and T cells

Biological activity

The specific activity is determined by induction of IFN-γ secretion by PHA-activated T cells.

The proliferation assay was calibrated with the reference reagent for human IL-12 (NIBSC code 95/544) provided by the WHO/National Institute for Biological Standards and Control.
