Interleukin 12 - Wikipedia
Interleukin 12 (IL-12) is an interleukin that is naturally produced by dendritic cells, [1] macrophages, neutrophils, helper T cells and human B- lymphoblastoid cells (NC-37) in response to antigenic stimulation. IL-12 belongs to the family of interleukin-12.

Interleukin-12: an update on its immunological activities, …
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 ability to stimulate both innate and adaptive immune effector cells.

Interleukin 12 - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Interleukin 12 (IL-12), a cytokine that stimulates T-helper anti-tumor immune responses, could prove beneficial as a therapy in treating cancer. However, the systemic administration of IL-12 might cause serious health side effects.
Interleukin-12: Functional activities and implications for disease
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-12: Biological Properties and Clinical Application
2007年8月15日 · Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is a heterodimeric protein, first recovered from EBV-transformed B cell lines. It is a multifunctional cytokine, the properties of which bridge innate and adaptive immunity, acting as a key regulator of cell-mediated immune responses through the induction of T helper 1 differentiation.
