Source
Optimized DNA sequence encoding mouse Interleukin-12 mature chain was over-expressed in CHo cells.
Molecular weight
Recombinant mouse IL-12 is a heterodimer protein of 35kDa +40kDa subunits and consisting of 506 amino acid residue subunits. IL-12 migrates as an approximately 80kDa protein under non-reducing conditions and as 35kDa and 40kDa bands under reducing conditions in SDS-PAGE.
Purity
>95%, as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC
Biological Activity
The ED(50) determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of IFN-gamma production by murine splenocytes co-stimulated with IL-18 is <.1 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > x units/mg.

Endotoxin
Endotoxin content was assayed using a LAL gel clot method. Endotoxin level was found to be less than 0.1 ng/µg(1EU/µg).
Presentation
Recombinant Interleukin-12 was lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered PBS solution.
Reconstitution
A quick spin of the vial followed by reconstitution in distilled water to a concentration not less than 0.1 mg/mL. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers.
Storage
The lyophilized protein is stable for at least years from date of receipt at -20° C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at2° -8° C for one month, or at -20° C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Methods
Exhausted CD8 T cells do not upregulate CD25 expression following IL-12, IL-18, and/or IL-21 exposure.
- Representative flow cytometry plots show the expression of CD25 by gated CD8 T cells following acute (B6 Arm), protracted (B6 cl13), and chronic (CD4-/- cl13) LCMV infections in response to a 5.5 hr incubation with or without IL-12, IL-18, and IL-21 in the absence of BFA.
Increased splenic and hepatic DC numbers following systemic IL-12 treatment.
- BALB/c mice were treated with 1 µg/mouse IL-12 (solid square) or vehicle control (VC; open triangle) for 4 consecutive days from day 0, as indicated with arrows, then leukocyte populations analyzed at various days post treatment.
Mouse T Cell Primary Cultures
- Peripheral lymph node cells were pooled from axillary, inguinal, brachial, and cervical lymph nodes (excluding mesenteric (mes)LN).
- Where explicitly stated in the figure legends mesLN were collected.
- After lymphoid organ disaggregation, cells were washed and resuspended in complete media (RPMI-1640, 5%FCS, 2 mM L-gln, 100 U/ml penicillin/streptomycin, and 2.5×10–5 M 2β-ME .
- Anti-CD3 (145-2C11, BD) at 0-1 µg/ml and anti-CD28 (37.51, BD) at 2 µg/ml mAb were coated on plates (1h, 37°C, in PBS) and washed twice.
- In transient TCR stimulations, cells were moved from Ab-coated to fresh wells on d2.
- aAPC were described previously
The IFN-γ production from IL-18 and/or IL-12 stimulated Th1 cells from TRAM-deficient mice and MyD88 deficient mice.
- The black bars show the production levels from IL-18 and IL-12 co-stimulated Th1 cells, grey bars show those from IL-18 solely stimulated Th1 cells, and the white bars show those from no secondary stimulated Th1 cells.
In vitro proliferation
- Naive OT-1 T cells were purified using a CD8 isolation kit with supplemental anti-CD44, and labeled with 5 μM CFSE .
- T cell and celltype'>NK cell depleted splenocytes were purified by a similar procedure as OT-1 T cells with an antibody mixture containing biotin-αTCRβ (H57-597), biotin-αTCRγδ (eBioGL3) and biotin-αcelltype'>NK1.1 (pk136) and used as APCs.
- APCs were pulsed with 0.2–5ng/ml peptide (SIINFEKL and all variant peptides were from Genemed Synthesis) and 1µg/ml LPS at 37°C for 1 hour followed by extensive washing.
- OT-1 T cells and APCs were mixed and cultured in the presence of 2.5ng/ml hTGF-β1 (&systems).
- As indicated, 1000U/ml IFN-αA (PBL InterferonSource), 20ng/ml IFN-γ and 20ng/ml IL-12 were added to the culture.
- 50U/ml IL-2 (eBioscience) was added one day later.
- 10µg/ml αTGF-β neutralizing antibody (clone#1D11, R&D systems) was added as indicated in the absence exogenous hTGF-β1.

T-cell polarization.
- Splenic cells (2 × 106/mL) from age 4 to 6 weeks naïve NOD.BDC2.5.FoxP3GFP.DTR mice were stimulated with p79 peptide (0.5 μmol/L) under Th1 or Th17 conditions for 4 days.
- For polarization into Th1 cells, the stimulation was carried out in the presence of recombinant (r)IL-12 (10 ng/mL) and anti–IL-4 (10 μg/mL [11B11]).
- For Th17 polarization, the culture was supplemented with recombinant transforming growth factor-β (3 ng/mL), rIL-6 (20 ng/mL), anti–IFN-γ (10 μg/mL [4–6A4]), and anti–IL-4 (10 μg/mL [11B11]) antibodies and rIL-23 (20 ng/mL& ) (only for the last 2 days).
NR4A2 knockdown prevents IL-17 secretion but not RORγt upregulation.
- A: IFN-γ production by cells activated in the presence or absence of 10 ng/ml IL-12 after 96 hours of culture.
KJ1.26+ CD4+T cell purification and Th1 polarization of DO11.10 cells.
- Th1 polarization, then, was induced in purified cells, (c) IFN-γ levels were measured in the supernatant of cocultures of DO11.10 CD4+ T cells, and macrophages, IL-12, and OVA323-339 peptide were used.
Functional assays with T cells of healthy donors
- celltype'>T cell activation experiments using the system of celltype'>T cell stimulator cells were done as previously described 4/well) were co-cultured with 1×105 celltype'>T cells, and following 48 h of stimulation, cell culture supernatant was harvested for cytokine measurement and methyl-3[H]-thymidine was added to the cultures.
- Expression of membrane-bound anti-CD3 antibody fragments on the T cell stimulator cells was detected via DyLight-649-conjugated goat antibodies to mouse IgG-H+L specific .
- Isolation of human T cells and monocytes and generation of immature and mature monocyte-derived DC was done as previously described 5 T cells/well were added and cultured for 48 h in the presence of soluble TIM-3 antibodies or isotype control antibodies (bothfinal concentration: 5 µg/ml) as previously described 5/well) were co-cultured with allogeneic immature or mature human DC at the indicated cell numbers for 5…
TGF-β suppresses DC production but has no effect on DC activation.
