Interleukin 12 (IL-12) is an interleukin that is naturally produced by dendritic cells, [1] macrophages, neutrophils, helper T cells and human B-lymphoblastoid cells in response to antigenic stimulation. IL-12 belongs to the family of interleukin-12.

Interleukin 12 (IL-12) family is comprised of 4 members, IL-12, IL-23, IL-27 and IL-35. IL-12, IL-23 and IL-27 are secreted by activated antigen presenting cells (APC) during antigen presentation to naïve T cells while IL-35 is a product of regulatory T and B cells [ 1 – 3 ].

Interleukin-12 (IL-12) was the first member of the IL-12 family of cytokines to be identified and has therefore become its eponym. It is a heterodimeric protein of two subunits (p35, p40) secreted by phagocytic cells in response to pathogens and mainly acts through STAT4 to …

Feb 1, 2003 · Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is a heterodimeric pro-inflammatory cytokine that induces the production of interferon-γ (IFN-γ), favours the differentiation of T helper 1 (TH1) cells and forms a...

Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is a heterodimeric cytokine composed of the p35 and p40 subunits. It is produced by antigen-presenting cells and plays a critical role in host defense against intracellular microbial infection and control of malignancy via its ...

Mar 13, 2025 · Furthermore, IL-12 protein expression was increased in human AD brains compared to healthy age-matched controls, and human oligodendrocyte-like cells responded profoundly to IL-12...

As its first identified member, Interleukin-12 (IL-12) named a whole family of cytokines. In response to pathogens, the heterodimeric protein, consisting of the two subunits p35 and p40, is secreted by phagocytic cells. Binding of IL-12 to the IL-12 ...

Aug 15, 2007 · Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is a heterodimeric protein, first recovered from EBV-transformed B cell lines. It is a multifunctional cytokine, the properties of which bridge innate and adaptive immunity, acting as a key regulator of cell-mediated immune responses through the induction of T helper 1 differe …

Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is a heterodimeric cytokine produced mostly by phagocytic cells in response to bacteria, bacterial products, and intracellular parasites, and to some degree by B lymphocytes.

Jul 19, 2012 · The interleukin 12 (IL-12) family is unique in having the only heterodimeric cytokines, including IL-12, IL-23, IL-27 and IL-35.
