Introduction

IL-12 is a heterodimeric cytokine that stimulates the production of interferon gamma from T-cells and natural killer cells, and also induces differentiation of Th1 helper cells. IL-12 is an initiator of cell-mediated immunity.

Description

IL12 Human Recombinant produced in a baculovirus expression system is a glycosylated disulfide linked (through cysteines in bold) heterodimer comprised of IL12A (23-219aa, total of 203 aa, MW 23.3kDa) and IL12B (23-328aa, total of 306 aa, MW 34.6kDa), having a total predicted molecular mass of 57.9kDa (Molecular weight on SDS-PAGE will appear higher).
IL12A is fused to a 6 amino acid His-Tag at C-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Source

Baculovirus.

Physical Appearance

Sterile filtered colorless solution.

Formulation

IL12 protein solution (0.5mg/ml) containing Phosphate buffered saline (pH7.4) and 10% glycerol.

Stability

Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.

Purity

Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
