CytoGrow™ Recombinant IL-12 (Human), CHO, Tag Free
Recombinant human IL-12 is a heterodimeric cytokine composed of p35 and p40 subunits, produced in CHO cells to ensure high bioactivity and authentic human-like post-translational modifications. This tag-free protein closely resembles the native form, making it ideal for sensitive immunological assays and cell signaling studies.
IL-12 plays a pivotal role in promoting the differentiation of naïve T cells into Th1 cells and enhancing the cytotoxic activity of natural killer (NK) cells and CD8⁺ T cells. It is a key regulator of cell-mediated immunity and is widely used in research involving immune activation, inflammation, cancer immunotherapy, and infectious diseases.
