Active Recombinant Human IL12A protein

• Cat.No.: IL12A-4327HG
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human IL12 Protein is produced by CHO expression system.

Specification

• Description: Interleukin-12 (IL-12), also known as NKSF or CLMF, is a pleiotropic cytokine originally identified in the medium of activated human B lymphoblastoid cell lines. The p40 subunit of IL-12 has been shown to have extensive amino acid sequence homology to the extracellular domain of the human IL-6 receptor while the p35 subunit shows distant but significant sequence similarity to IL-6, G-CSF, and chicken MGF. These observations have led to the suggestion that IL-12 might have evolved from a cytokine/soluble receptor complex. Human and murine IL-12 share 70 % and 60 % amino acid sequence homology in their p40 and p35 subunits, respectively. IL-12 apparently shows species specificity with human IL-12 reportedly showing minimal activity in the murine system.
• Source: CHO

• Endotoxin: Less than 1 EU/µg of rHuIL-12 as determined by LAL method.
• Purity: > 95 % by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.
• Storage: Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
  - 12 months from date of receipt, -20 to -70 °C as supplied.
  - 1 month, 2 to 8 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
  - 3 months, -20 to -70 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
• Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1 % BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20 °C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
