IL-12 plays a crucial role in the regulation of cell-mediated immune responses. It is a potent inducer of Th1 responses, leading to the production of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) . These responses are essential for the body’s defense against intracellular pathogens and for the development of long-lasting immunity.
The Rat Anti-Mouse IL-12 p75 antibody, specifically the R2-9A5 monoclonal antibody, is designed to react with mouse IL-12 . This antibody has been shown to neutralize the biological effects of IL-12 when administered in vivo . It is commonly used in research to study the immune response and to investigate the role of IL-12 in various diseases.
The Rat Anti-Mouse IL-12 p75 antibody is used in various applications, including:
The antibody is purified from cell culture supernatant in an animal-free facility using Protein G affinity chromatography . It is formulated in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at pH 8.0 and contains no stabilizers or preservatives . The endotoxin level is kept below 2 EU/mg, as determined by the Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) gel clotting assay .
