Uniprot ACC number:Transportation method: Shipped at room temperature.
Stability: Lyophilized Interleukin 12 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution PDGF BB should be stored at +4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Biological Activity: Determined by cell proliferation assay using pH A-stimulated human T lympH oblasts. The ED50 for this effect is 0.01-0.05 ng/ml corresponding to a specific activity of 1.1 × 104 units/μg, which is calibrated against rHuIL-12 WHO Standard.
Solubility: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Interleukin 12 in sterile 18MΩ-cm H
2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
