Mouse IL-12 p40 ELISA Kit

The Mouse IL-12 p40 ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is an in vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of Mouse IL-12 p40. Interleukin-12 (IL12; formerly NKSF, for natural killer cell stimulatory factor, or CLMF, for cytotoxic lymphocyte maturation factor) is a novel cytokine cloned from B-cell lines. It is a heterodimeric molecule composed of p35 and p40 subunits. IL-12 has emerged as an important cytokine, affecting both immune and hematologic functions. It has been shown to be necessary for the T cell independent induction of interferon (IFN)-gamma and critical for the initial suppression of bacterial and parasitic infection.

This assay employs a biotinylated antibody specific for Mouse IL-12 p40 coated on a 96-well plate and uses a colorimetric detection method with HRP-conjugated streptavidin, measured at 450 nm.
