The HTRF Human IL12/23 p40 kit is designed for the quantification of human IL12/23 p40 release in cell supernatant. The assay is compatible with human samples only, and is highly specific for p40, cross-reacting with all p40-containing cytokines such as IL12, IL23, p40 monomer, and p40-p40 (p80) dimer.
For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. All products to be used in accordance with applicable laws and regulations including without limitation, consumption and disposal requirements under European REACH regulations (EC 1907/2006).
p40 is a common component of the p40 family of cytokines which encompasses IL-12 (p40+p35 heterodimer), IL-23 (p40+p19 heterodimer), p40 (monomer), and p80 homodimer (p40+p40). Detection of the shared subunit p40 allows detection of all of these 4 members. These cytokines are instrumental in inflammation and immuno-regulation.

Cell supernatant sample or standard is dispensed directly into the assay plate for the detection by HTRF® reagents (384-well low-volume white plate or Revvity low-volume 96-well plate in 20 µl). The antibodies labeled with the HTRF donor and acceptor are pre-mixed and added in a single dispensing step, to further streamline the assay procedure. The assay can be run in up to a 1536-well format by simply resizing each addition volume proportionally.
The assay is compatible with human samples only, and is highly specific for p40, cross-reacting with all p40-containing cytokines such as IL12, IL23, p40 monomer, and p40-p40 (p80) dimer.
The 4 Parameter Logistic (4PL) curve is commonly recommended for fitting an ELISA standard curve. This regression enables the accurate measurement of an unknown sample across a wider range of concentrations than linear analysis, making it ideally suited to the analysis of biological systems like cytokine releases.

Cross reactivities were assessed using recombinant proteins from the p40 cytokine family. Proteins were tested up to 10.000 pg/mL and standard curves were generated for each. Signals were interpolated on the assay standard curve to measure concentrations. Cross-reactivity was calculated as a mean of 6 tested concentrations from 116 to 10.000 pg/mL. The assay is human specific, as mouse and rat p40 cytokines were not detected using this assay.
The human monocyte cell line THP1 was used for an IL12/23-p40 secretion study using LPS as an agonist. THP1 cells were cultured in 10% FCS supplemented RPMI1640 medium at 37°C, 5% CO2. 50 µL of THP1 cells in suspension were transferred into a 96-well cell-culture plate at densities of 200 and 400 k cells/well. Cells were stimulated for 24h with increasing doses of LPS in a final volume of 100 µL. 16 µL of supernatants were then transferred into a white detection plate (384 low volume), and 4 µL of the HTRF Human IL12/23-p40 detection reagents were added. The HTRF signal was recorded after an overnight incubation at room temperature. As expected, increasing doses of LPS led to incremental releases of IL12/23-p40 cytokines. The concentrations measured were lower using the highest density, indicating that the 200k density was the best compromise to study the secretion of the cytokines using this cell model in suspension.
