Background

Interleukin-12, or IL-12, also known as natural killer cell stimulatory factor (NKSF) and cytotoxic lymphocyte maturation factor (CLMF), is a pleiotropic cytokine that affects both natural killer (NK) cells and T lymphocytes. IL-12 is a heterodimer of subunit IL-12A p35 and subunit IL-12B p40 that is secreted by a wide variety of antigen presenting cells (APCs), including phagocytes, B cells and Langerhans cells. It is involved in mediating many aspects of antiviral immunity. In addition to stimulating T helper cell development, IL-12 is a potent inducer of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) production by T cells and NK cells. Increased IL-12 production is a consequence of EBV, CMV, LCMV or HSV infection. While it is unclear what separate effects can be attributed to each IL-12 subunit, evidence suggests IL-12A p35 is the biologically active component responsible for signal transduction via the IL-12 receptor.

1. What is the difference between the Quantikine and Duoset ELISA kits?
   • Our Quantikine kits are fully optimized and validated for the sample types listed on the product specific webpage and datasheet, as this can vary between kits. Each kit is supplied ready to use with one pre-coated 96-well plate, a detection antibody directly conjugated to HRP, and all other necessary reagents. These kits are ideal for researchers who want the convenience of a ready to use and optimized ELISA product. Some of these kits are also available prepackaged in larger 6 and 50 plate sizes.Our DuoSet Kits, in contrast, are ELISA development kits containing the capture and detection antibody, the mass-value calibrated standard, and streptavidin-HRP to prepare approximately 5 or 15 plates. Ancillary reagents will need to be used/purchased, and for most kits, we will recommend one of our Ancillary Reagent Kits, which contain the reagents we use ourselves in-house. DuoSet kits are validated only for cell culture supernatant samples and therefore require further development and validation for accurate measurement in more complex samples such as serum and plasma. Our DuoSet Kits offer an economical, flexible alternative for the experienced ELISA user.
