Cell Proliferation Induced by IL‑12 and Neutralization by Human IL‑12 Antibody. Recombinant Human IL-12 (219-IL) stimulates proliferation in PHA-activated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). Proliferation elicited by Recombinant Human IL-12 (1 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Goat Anti-Human IL-12 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-219-NA). The ND50 is typically 5-50 ng/mL.

Background: IL-12

Interleukin 12, also known as natural killer cell stimulatory factor (NKSF) or cytotoxic lymphocyte maturation factor (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.

IL-12 is produced by macrophages and B lymphocytes and has been shown to have multiple effects on T cells and natural killer (NK) cells. These effects include inducing production of IFN-gamma and TNF by resting and activated T and NK cells, synergizing with other IFN-gamma  inducers at both the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. This interaction induces IFN-gamma  gene expression, enhancing the cytotoxic activity of resting NK and T cells, inducing and synergizing with IL-2 in the generation of lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells, acting as a co-mitogen to stimulate proliferation of resting T cells, and inducing proliferation of activated T and NK cells. Current evidence indicates that IL-12, produced by macrophages in response to infectious agents, is a central mediator of the cell-mediated immune response by its actions on the development, proliferation, and activities of TH1 cells. In its role as the initiator of cell-mediated immunity, it has been suggested that IL-12 has therapeutic potential as a stimulator of cell-mediated immune responses to microbial pathogens, metastatic cancers, and viral infections such as AIDS.

Human IL-12 Antibody
By Michael Lehrke on 08/10/2023
Application: B/N Sample Tested: T cells Species: Human

Utilized during in vitro Th2 polarization cultures to prevent unwanted differentiation of IFNg-producing Th1 cells.

Naive CD4 T cells were stimulated with anti-CD3/anti-CD28 antibodies and polarized with culture media that included 20 ng/mL IL-4, 5 ug/mL anti-IL-12 antibody, and 5 ug/mL anti-IFNg antibody. After 5 days of culture, supernatants were analyzed AlphaLISA to assess IL-5 and IFNg production.

As expected, the Th2 cultures did not produce unwanted IFNg indicating Th1 polarization was inhibited.
