IL-12 ELISpot Assay Kit (Human) (OKDB00013)

Catalog No: OKDB00013

Product Info

• Predicted Species Reactivity: Human
• ELISA Kit Duration: < 4 Hours
• ELISA Kit Principle: Aviva's Human IL-12 ELISpot Kit is based on standard sandwich ELISA methodology. A capture antibody highly specific for the analyte of interest is coated to the wells of a PVDF bottomed 96 well microtitre plate either during kit manufacture or in the laboratory. The plate is then blocked to minimise any non-antibody dependent unspecific binding and washed. Cell suspension and stimulant are added and the plate incubated allowing the specific antibodies to bind any analytes produced. Cells are then removed by washing prior to the addition of Biotinylated detection antibodies which bind to the previously captured analyte. Enzyme conjugated streptavidin is then added binding to the detection antibodies. Following incubation and washing substrate is then applied to the wells resulting in coloured spots which can be quantified using appropriate analysis software or manually using a microscope.

Target Info

• Gene Symbol: IL-12
• Gene Full Name: interleukin 12A
• Alias Symbols: P35, CLMF, NFSK, NKSF1, IL-12A
• NCBI Gene Id: 3592
• Protein Name: interleukin-12 subunit alpha
• Description of Target: This gene encodes a subunit of a cytokine that acts on T and natural killer cells, and has a broad array of biological activities. The cytokine is a disulfide-linked heterodimer composed of the 35-kD subunit encoded by this gene, and a 40-kD subunit that is a member of the cytokine receptor family. This cytokine is required for the T-cell-independent induction of interferon (IFN)-gamma, and is important for the differentiation of both Th1 and Th2 cells. The responses of lymphocytes to this cytokine are mediated by the activator of transcription protein STAT4. Nitric oxide synthase 2A (NOS2A/NOS2) is found to be required for the signaling process of this cytokine in innate immunity.
