Background | The Quantikine Human IL-12 p40 Immunoassay is a 3.5 or 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure IL-12 p40 in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It contains recombinant human IL-12 p40 and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. This immunoassay has been shown to accurately quantitate recombinant human IL-12 p40. Results obtained using natural human IL-12 p40 showed d...ose-response curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the recombinant Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural human IL-12 p40. Show More |

Interleukin 12 (IL-12), also known as natural killer cell stimulatory factor (NKSF) or cytotoxic lymphocyte maturation factor (CLMF), is a heterodimeric pleiotropic cytokine made up of a 40 kDa (p40) subunit and a 35 kDa (p35) subunit. The IL-12 p40 subunit is shared by IL-23, another heterodimeric cytokine that has biological activities similar to, as well as distinct from, IL-12. IL-12 is produced by macrophages and B cells and has been shown to have multiple effects on T cells and natural killer (NK) cells. While mouse IL-12 is active on both human and mouse cells, human IL-12 is not active on mouse cells.
