Description
Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is an important mediator of cellular-immunity produced by dendritic cells, macrophages and B cells when stimulated with antigen. IL-12 is involved in differentiating precursor helper T cells to Th1 and/or Th2 subtypes and promotes the production of IFN gamma and TNF alpha. Mouse IL-12 is active on human and mouse cells. Recombinant mouse IL-12 is a glycosylated, disulfide-linked heterodimer. It is containing one p35 subunit (193aa) and one p40 subunit (313aa), with a total of 506 amino acids
