Interleukin-12

Catalog Number PCT011-H08H
Organism Species Human
Host Human Cells
Synonyms Interleukin-12
Molecular Weight The recombinant IL12 heterodimer of human IL12A/IL12B comprises 525 (208 + 317) amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 60.2 (24 + 36.2) kDa. The apparent molecular mass of rh IL12 heterodimer is approximately 40 & 43 kDa respectively in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.
predicted N Arg 23 & Ile 23
SDS-PAGE
Purity > 95 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
Protein Construction A DNA sequence encoding the p35 subunit of human IL-12, termed as IL12A (NP_000873.2) (Met 1-Ser 219) was fused with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus, constructed the plasmid 1 ; A DNA sequence encoding the p40 subunit of human IL-12, termed as IL12B (NP_002178.2) (Met 1-Ser 328) was fused with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus, constructed the plasmid 2. The two plasmids were co-expressed and the heterodimer was purified.
Bio-activity 1. Measured by its ability to bind biotinylated recombinant human IL12RB1 in a functional ELISA.
2. Measured in a cell proliferation assay using Anti-CD28 and Anti-CD3-stimulated PBMC.
The ED50 for this effect is typically 0.1-0.6 ng/mL.
Research Area Immunology |Cytokines & Growth Factors |Cytokine & Receptor |Interleukin & Receptor |IL-12 family & Receptor |IL-12 family ligand |
Formulation Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4
1. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose and mannitol are added as protectants before lyophilization. Specific concentrations are included in the hardcopy of COA.
