Human recombinant IL-12 p40 (Interleukin-12 p40) protein, AF

Interleukin-12 subunit beta, IL-12 subunit p40, IL-12B, Cytotoxic Lymphocyte Maturation Factor 40 kDa subunit (CLMF p40), NK cell Stimulating Factor Chain 2

Measure by its ability to induce cell proliferation in PHA-activated human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBMC) using a concentration range of 5-50 ng/mL. Note: Results may vary from different PBMC donors.

The protein was lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution containing 1X PBS, pH 8.0. If you have any concerns or special requirements, please confirm with us.

Centrifuge at 3000 rpm for 5 mins before opening. 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 at room temperature for at least 20 mins to ensure sufficient re-dissolved. Do Not Vortex! Vigorous shaking may impair the biological activity of the protein.

Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C for 1 year. Upon reconstitution, store at 2°C to 8°C for up to 1 week. Further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein or stabilizer (e.g. 0.1% BSA, 10%FBS, 5%HSA or 5% trehalose solution), protein aliquots should be stored at -20°C or -80°C for 3-6 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
