ProductELISpot Plus: Human IL-12/-23 p40 (ALP)
ApplicationELISpot
AnalyteIL-12/-23 (p40)
ReactivityHuman, Non-human primates
SpecificityThis kit is based on a matched pair of mAbs specific for the p40 subunit of human IL-12 and IL-23. The antibodies recognize p40 monomer and homodimer, IL-12 p70 (p40+p35), and IL-23 (p40+p19).
Cross-reactivityThe mAbs react with human IL-12/-23 (p40) and cross-react with IL-12/-23 (p40) from non-human primates (NHP). For more information please check the Cross-reactivity guide section below.

The IL-12 cytokine family

The IL-12 cytokine family consists of IL-12, IL-23, IL-27, IL-35, and IL-39. The existence of IL-39 in human remains, however, to be confirmed. The proteins are heterodimers of different subunits which are either unique or shared by several family members. IL-12 is a heterodimer, (p70), consisting of two covalently linked subunits, p35 and p40. The p40 subunit is shared with IL-23 which is a heterodimer of p40 and a unique p19 subunit. The p40 subunit also exists as a monomer and homodimer. The EBI3 subunit is shared with IL-27, IL-35, and IL-39.

Mabtech supplies monoclonal antibodies with defined subunit specificities to p40, p35, p19, p28, and EBI3. Since both IL-12 and IL-23 heterodimers contain the p40 subunit, capture immunoassays based on antibodies to p40 will detect both cytokines. Such assays can also detect p40 monomers and dimers. The EBI3 assays will detect IL-27, IL-35, and IL-39.

In our IL-12 and IL-23 assays, the same capture antibodies to p40 (MT86/221) are used. Different detection antibodies enable the detection of IL-12 (p70), IL-12/-23 (p40), and IL-23.

IL-12/-23 (p40)

Analyte description

Interleukin 12 (IL-12) is, when biologically active, a heterodimer (p70) consisting of two covalently linked subunits, p35 and p40. IL-12 is produced by antigen-presenting cells, specifically dendritic cells, and macrophages. IL-12 is a proinflammatory cytokine that promotes Th1-type responses by inducing IFN-γ production and enhancing the proliferation and cytotoxicity of NK and T cells.

Interleukin-23 (IL-23) is a disulfide-linked heterodimer that consists of a unique p19 subunit and the p40 subunit of IL-12. IL-23 is a proinflammatory cytokine, which is produced by macrophages and dendritic cells upon infections with certain pathogens. The IL-23 receptor is expressed on Th17 cells, and IL-23 is responsible for Th17 expansion and stabilization.

Since both IL-12 and IL-23 heterodimers comprise the p40 subunit, capture immunoassays based on antibodies to p40 will detect both cytokines. Such assays can also detect p40 monomers and dimers.
