ED₅₀ = 50-200 pg/ml as measured by its ability to stimulate the proliferation of PHA-activated human lymphoblasts

General description

Recombinant, human interleukin-12 expressed in S. frugiperda insect cells. Pleiotropic cytokine that is produced by monocytes/macrophages, B-cells, and connective tissue type mast cells. Also known as natural killer cell stimulatory factor and cytotoxic lymphocyte maturation factor. A potent inducer of IFN-γ production and T-cell differentiation and function.
