Product Summary for Human IL-12 p70 Quantikine ELISA Kit
The Quantikine Human IL-12 Immunoassay is a 3.5 or 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure IL-12 in cell culture supernates, serum, plasma, and urine. It contains Sf 21-expressed recombinant human IL-12 and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. This immunoassay has been shown to quantitate recombinant human IL-12 accurately. Results obtained using natural human IL-12 showed linear curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the recombinant kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural human IL-12.

Sample Values
Serum/Plasma/Urine - Forty samples from apparently healthy volunteers were evaluated for
the presence of human IL-12 p70 in this assay. No medical histories were available for the
donors used in this study. All samples measured less than the lowest human IL-12 p70
standard, 7.8 pg/mL.
ND=Non-detectable
Cell Culture Supernates:
NC-37 Burkitt's lymphoma B lymphoblast cells (1 x 106
cells/mL) were cultured for 3 days with
and without 10 ng/mL PMA and 25 ng/mL calcium ionophore in RPMI 1640 media
supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 μg/mL penicillin, 100 μg/mL streptomycin, and
1% Nutridoma.
Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (1 x 106
cells/mL) were cultured for 18 hours with
and without 0.0075% (wt/vol) SAC (Pansorbin®, EMD Millipore) in RPMI 1640 media
supplemented with 1% fetal bovine serum.

Precision
Intra-Assay Precision (Precision within an assay) Three samples of known concentration were tested on one plate to assess intra-assay precision.
Inter-Assay Precision (Precision between assays) Three samples of known concentration were tested in separate assays to assess inter-assay precision.

Recovery for Human IL-12 p70 Quantikine ELISA Kit
The recovery of human IL-12 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) | 90 | 81-96 |
| Citrate Plasma (n=5) | 90 | 82-94 |
| EDTA Plasma (n=5) | 101 | 96-109 |
| Heparin Plasma (n=5) | 99 | 89-109 |
| Serum (n=5) | 100 | 89-106 |
| Urine (n=5) | 89 | 85-92 |
Linearity
To assess the linearity of the assay, five samples were spiked with high concentrations of IL-12 in various matrices and diluted with Calibrator Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay.

Background: IL-12 p70
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.
