cGMP rHu IL-12

cGMP IL-12 engineered and manufactured to enable the commercialization of NK-based therapeutics.

Akron has launched a newly optimized cGMP IL-12 product. Click here for details.

Akron’s Recombinant Human Interleukin-12 (rHu IL-12) products are manufactured following relevant cGMP guidelines for ancillary materials. Akron’s rHu IL-12 is a 75 kDa, glycosylated, heterogeneous dimer cytokine analog expressed in Yeast. The p40 chain contains 306 amino acids and the p35 chain contains 197 amino acids, for a total of 503 amino acids. The lyophilized product is packaged in vials.

The dimeric nature of IL-12 is only shared by three other cytokines, all of which comprise the IL-12 family. In vivo, IL-12 is well known for stimulating the production of IFN-γ in T cells and Natural Killer (NK) cells. It also enhances the effectiveness of cytotoxic T cells and NK cells, helps generate lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells, and induces proliferation of activated T cells and NK cells. Akron’s cGMP-compliant rHu IL-12 can be used to help differentiate, proliferate, and stimulate helper T cells, cytotoxic T cells, NK cells, LAK cells, Dendritic Cells (DCs), and macrophages.
