Background
IL-12 is secreted by macrophages and human B-lymphoblastoid cells in response to antigenic stimulation. This IL is responsible for the differentiation of naive CD4+ T cells into type 1 helper T cells that produce interferon-γ (IFN-γ). It also activates production of tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) from T and natural killer (NK) cells, and it inhibits IL-4 mediated suppression of IFN-γ. IL-12 also has anti-angiogenic activity since the production of IFN-γ increases the production of inducible protein-10 (IP-10). IL-12 p40 represents a subunit of IL-12 that is induced by several pathogens. IL-12 p70 is a subunit of IL-12 that is controlled through both the p35 and p40 genes in a cell type-specific fashion.Synonyms: CLMF p35, Cytotoxic lymphocyte maturation factor 35 kDa subunit, IL-12 subunit p35, IL-12A, NK cell stimulatory factor chain 1, NKSF1
