Background
IL-12p40 is known as a component of the bioactive cytokines interleukin IL-12 and IL-23, which can exist in a monomeric or homodimeric form. IL-12p40 is produced primarily by activated inflammatory cells including macrophages, neutrophils, microglia and dendritic cells (DCs). The most widely appreciated function of IL-12p40 is to provide a negative feedback loop by competitively binding to the IL-12 receptor. Additionally, IL-12p40 can also act as a chemoattractant for macrophages and promote the migration of bacterially stimulated dendritic cells. It is also associated with several pathogenic inflammatory responses such as silicosis, graft rejection.
