IL 12 Recombinant Protein

Source : HEK. Interleukin-12 Human Recombinant produced in HEK cells is a glycosylated heterodimer, having a total molecular weight of 57kDa.The IL12 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. 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.

Product Specifications

Product Name Alternative

NKSF||CTL maturation factor (TCMF) ||Cytotoxic lymphocyte maturation factor (CLMF) ||TSF||Edodekin-alpha||IL-12.

Purification

Greater than 95% as obsereved by SDS-PAGE.

Components

IL12 was lyophilized from a 0.2μm filtered solution containing 1xPBS.

Storage Conditions

Lyophilized IL-12 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution IL12 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) .Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Applications Notes

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized IL12 in sterile PBS containing 0.1% endotoxin-free recombinant HSA. The specific activity was determined by the dose-dependent release of IFN-gamma from the human NK92 cell line in presence of 20ng/mL rIL-2. The EC50 is 0.5ng/ml.
