Mouse IL-12 p70 ELISA kits

Pick the right ELISA kit for Mouse IL-12 p70. Our kits differ in what we put in the box and how you develop the signal – this page explains what those differences mean.

IL-12 p70 ELISA kits are also available for human.

What differs between these kits

Whether a pre-coated plate is included

Some of our kits arrive with the plate already coated with the capture antibody, so you can start with your samples. Others supply the antibodies and standard only. Coating your own plate is more work, and it gives you control over the coating conditions and the plate.

Which detection system

Available with Streptavidin-ALP or Streptavidin-HRP. You add the streptavidin conjugate as a second incubation after the biotinylated antibody, which amplifies the signal. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) perform equivalently, so that choice usually comes down to the substrate and reader you already work with.

Supplied without a plate, streptavidin conjugate

With a pre-coated strip plate, streptavidin conjugate, 1 plate

With a pre-coated strip plate, streptavidin conjugate, 2 plates

With a pre-coated strip plate, streptavidin conjugate, 10 plates

About IL-12 (p70)

These Mouse IL-12 p70 ELISA kits target Il12a and Il12b (Mus musculus).

Interleukin 12 (IL-12) is, when biologically active, a heterodimer (p70) consisting of two covalently linked subunits, p35 and p40. The p40 subunit is shared with IL-23. IL-12 is produced by antigen-presenting cells, specifically dendritic cells, and macrophages. IL-12 is a proinflammatory cytokine that promotes Th1-type responses by inducing IFN-γ production and enhancing the proliferation and cytotoxicity of NK and T cells.
