Product Summary for Human IL-12/IL-23 p40 Quantikine ELISA Kit
The Quantikine Human IL-12 p40 Immunoassay is a 3.5 or 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure IL-12 p40 in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It contains recombinant human IL-12 p40 and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. This immunoassay has been shown to accurately quantitate recombinant human IL-12 p40. Results obtained using natural human IL-12 p40 showed dose-response curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the recombinant Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural human IL-12 p40.

Recovery for Human IL-12/IL-23 p40 Quantikine ELISA Kit
The recovery of IL-12 p40 spiked to three different levels throughout the range of the assay in various matrices was evaluated.
| Sample Type | Average % Recovery | Range % |
|---|---|---|
| Cell Culture Media (n=5) | 96 | 85-105 |
| Citrate Plasma (n=5) | 100 | 85-112 |
| EDTA Plasma (n=5) | 101 | 92-113 |
| Heparin Plasma (n=5) | 96 | 89-106 |
| Serum (n=5) | 98 | 86-112 |
Linearity
To assess the linearity of the assay, five samples were spiked with high concentrations of IL-12 p40 in various matrices and diluted with the appropriate Calibrator Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay.

Background: IL-12/IL-23 p40
Interleukin 12 (IL-12), also known as natural killer cell stimulatory factor (NKSF) or cytotoxic lymphocyte maturation factor (CLMF), is a heterodimeric pleiotropic cytokine made up of a 40 kDa (p40) subunit and a 35 kDa (p35) subunit. The IL-12 p40 subunit is shared by IL-23, another heterodimeric cytokine that has biological activities similar to, as well as distinct from, IL-12. IL-12 is produced by macrophages and B cells and has been shown to have multiple effects on T cells and natural killer (NK) cells. While mouse IL-12 is active on both human and mouse cells, human IL-12 is not active on mouse cells.
