| Description: | IL12 is a cytokine that acts on T and natural killer cells, and has a broad array of biological activities. It is a disulfide-linked heterodimer composed of the 40 kD cytokine receptor like subunit and a 35 kD subunit. This cytokine is expressed by activated macrophages that serve as an essential inducer of Th1 cells development. IL12 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. Recombinant human IL12 protein, fused to His-tag at C-terminus, was expressed in insect cells using baculovirus expression system and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques. |
