Product Description
Active IL-12 is a p70 disulfide-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.

Source:
Escherichia coli
Endotoxin Test:
<0.1 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.
Activity:
Measure by its ability to induce proliferation in T-cell enriched PBMC. The ED50 for this effect is <0.2 ng/mL.
Purity:
>98% as determined by SDS-PAGE. Ni-NTA chromatography
Formulation:
The protein was lyophilized from a solution containing 1X PBS, pH 7.4.
Reconstitution:
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile H2O to a concentration not less than 100 μg/mL and incubate the stock solution for at least 20 min to ensure sufficient re-dissolved.
Storage:
Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C. Upon reconstitution, protein aliquots should be stored at -20°C or -80°C.
Note:
Please use within one month after protein reconstitution.
