Biolegend, 431603, ELISA MAX™ Standard Set Mouse IL-12/IL-23 (p40)

Please contact our sales representative for bulk pricing quotations. Cytokine detection IL-12, IL-23 and IL-35 share common subunits, utilizing combinations of p40, p19 and p35 proteins. Caution must be used when selecting antibodies and assays when specific identification, measurement, as well as activation state discrimination, is required. 1. Active IL-12 consists of two subunits: p40 + p35. 2. p40 can also exist as a monomer (IL-12 p40) or a homodimer (IL-12 p80). 3. Besides contributing to IL-12, p40 is also found in IL-23, a heterodimer of p40 and p19. 4. Similarly, p35 not only contributes to IL-12, but is also found in the heterodimer IL-35 (p35 and EBI3). Note that assays using antibodies specific for the p40 subunit will be unable to discriminate between the active IL-12, monomeric p40, dimeric p40, and IL-23; likewise, assays using p35 detection alone will pick up both IL-12 (heterodimer) and IL-35.
