Cat#:EIA-295C;Product Name:Mouse Interleukin 12b, Il12b ELISA Kit;Size:96T;Sample:serum, plasma and other biological fluids;Intended use:RUO;Synonym:Il12b; interleukin 12b; p40; Il-12b; Il12p40; Il-12p40; IL-12 p40; IL-23 subunit p40; OTTMUSP00000005619;Background:Subunit beta of interleukin 12 (also known as natural killer cell stimulatory factor 2, or cytotoxic lymphocyte maturation factor 2, p40) (human gene name IL12B) is a subunit of human interleukin 12. This gene encodes a subunit of interleukin 12, a cytokine that acts on T and natural killer cells, and has a broad array of biological activities. Interleukin 12 is a disulfide-linked heterodimer composed of the 40 kD cytokine receptor like subunit encoded by this gene, and a 35 kD subunit encoded by IL12A. This cytokine is expressed by activated macrophages that serve as an essential inducer of Th1 cells development. This cytokine has been found to be important for sustaining a sufficient number of memory/effector Th1 cells to mediate long-term protection to an intracellular pathogen.;Species Reactivity:Mouse;Application:Quantitative;Storage:Unopened Kit: Store at 2 - 8°C.
