MeSH definition : A heterodimeric cytokine that plays a role in innate and adaptive immune responses.
Interleukin-12 is a 70 kDa protein that is composed of covalently linked 40 kDa and
35 kDa subunits. It is produced by DENDRITIC CELLS; MACROPHAGES and a variety of other
immune cells and plays a role in the stimulation of INTERFERON-GAMMA production by
T-LYMPHOCYTES and NATURAL KILLER CELLS.;
