title: Measurement of human and mouse interleukin-12.
abstract: This unit describes functional assays for measurement of bioactive IL-12 and ELISAs for measurement of IL-12 protein. The functional assays are based on the ability of IL-12 to stimulate proliferation of PHA-activated T lymphoblasts ("PHA blasts"). The ELISAs are technically simpler to perform than the functional assays, but cannot distinguish bioactive from inactive cytokine.
