ELISA: To detect hIL-12 by direct ELISA (using 100 ml/well antibody solution) this antibodycan be used at a concentration of 0.15 - 0.30 μg/mL. Used in conjunction with compatiblesecondary reagents, allows the detection of at least 0.2 ng/well of recombinant hIL-12. Western Blot: To detect hIL-12 by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at aconcentration of 0.1 - 0.2 mg/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagentsthe detection limit for recombinant hIL-12 is 1.5 - 3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing ornon-reducing conditions. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Interleukin 12 (IL12) can act as a growth factor for activated T and NK cells, enhance the lytic activity of NK/lymphokine activated killer cells, and stimulate the production of IFN gamma by resting PBMC. IL12 induces IFN gamma, TNF alpha production in T and NK cells, costimulation of PBL proliferation, proliferation/differentiation of TH1 T lymphocytes. It is downregulated by IL10, homodimeric p40 antagonistic to functional p70 heterodimer. IL12R beta 1 binds p40 but when dimeric with IL12R beta 2 binds p35.Synonyms: CLMF p35, Cytotoxic lymphocyte maturation factor 35 kDa subunit, IL-12 subunit p35, IL-12A, NK cell stimulatory factor chain 1, NKSF1
