Active IL-12 is a p70 disulphide-linked dimer composed of p35 and p40 subunits. The protein is a pleiotropic cytokine produced primarily by antigen presenting cells and has multiple effects on T lymphocytes and natural killer cells in terms of stimulating cytotoxicity, proliferation, production of other cytokines and Th1 subset differentiation.
Interleukin-12 p35 His Human ? Recombinant produced in E.Coli is single, a non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 197 amino acids fragment (57-253) with an amino-terminal hexahistidine tag.
The IL-12 p35 His is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
