Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is a heterodimeric cytokine composed of the p35 and p40 subunits. It is produced by antigen-presenting cells and plays a critical role in host defense against intracellular microbial infection and control of malignancy via its ...

Interleukin 12 (IL-12) family is comprised of 4 members, IL-12, IL-23, IL-27 and IL-35. IL-12, IL-23 and IL-27 are secreted by activated antigen presenting cells (APC) during antigen presentation to naïve T cells while IL-35 is a product of regulatory T and B cells [1 – 3].

2020年12月11日 · In this review, we will provide an update on functional activities of IL-12 and their implications for disease. We will begin with a summary on structure and function of the cytokine itself as well as its receptor and outline the signal transduction and the transcriptional regulation of IL-12 secretion.

Interleukin-12 (IL-12) was the first member of the IL-12 family of cytokines to be identified and has therefore become its eponym. It is a heterodimeric protein of two subunits (p35, p40) secreted by phagocytic cells in response to pathogens and mainly acts through STAT4 to …

Interleukin-10 and Interleukin-12 are produced primarily by pathogen-activated antigen-presenting cells, particularly macrophages and dendritic cells. IL-10 and IL-12 play very important immunoregulatory roles in host defense and immune homeostasis. ...

2012年7月19日 · IL-12 is a proinflammatory cytokine produced by dendritic cells, macrophages and B cells in response to microbial pathogens 36, 82.

Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is a heterodimeric pro-inflammatory cytokine that induces the production of interferon-γ (IFN-γ), favours the differentiation of T helper 1 (TH1) cells and forms a...

2003年10月1日 · Interleukin (IL)-12 is especially important because its expression during infection regulates innate responses and determines the type and duration of adaptive immune response. IL-12 induces interferon-γ (IFN-γ) production by NK, T …

2007年8月15日 · By promoting IFN-γ production, proliferation, and cytolytic activity of natural killer and T cells, IL-12 induces cellular immunity. In addition, IL-12 induces an antiangiogenic program mediated by IFN-γ–inducible genes and by lymphocyte-endothelial cell cross-talk.

2024年10月3日 · IL-12, composed of α subunit IL-12p35 and β subunit p40, is primarily produced by activated antigen-presenting cells. 4,5 IL-12 mediates the heterodimerization of cell surface receptors IL-12Rβ1 and IL-12Rβ2, leading to the activation of intracellular JAK2 and TYK2 proteins, which phosphorylate each other and downstream STATs, mainly STAT4 ...
