Accession:MP:0008617 term browser browse the term
Definition:increase in the amount in the blood of a heterodimeric cytokine that plays a role in innate and adaptive immune responses; 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-cells and natural killer cells
Comment:Interleukin-12 is a 70 kDa protein that is composed of covalently linked 40 kDa (IL-12b) and 35 kDa (IL-12a) subunits. The 40 kDa subunit (IL-12b) also is a component of interleukin-23 together with the IL-23a ( 19kDa) chain.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: increased circulating IL-12 level;   increased circulating IL-12 p70 level;   increased circulating IL12 level;   increased circulating cytotoxic lymphocyte maturation factor level;   increased circulating interleukin-12 p70 level;   increased circulating natural killer cell stimulatory factor level
