Expression of IL-12 p40/p70 by activated CD14+ human PBMCs. Ficoll™-separated human PBMCs were primed for 2 hours with recombinant human IFN-γ (10 ng/ml final concentration; Cat. No. 554616), then activated with IFN-γ (10 ng/ml final concentration) and LPS (100 ng/ml final concentration; Sigma) in the presence of GolgiStop™ (2 µM final concentration; Cat. No. 554724) for an additional 22 hours. Cells were harvested, stained with FITC-mouse anti human CD14 antibody (Cat. No. 555397), fixed, permeabilized, and then stained with 0.125 µg of APC-C11.5 antibody (Cat. No. 554576), following Pharmingen's staining protocol (far left panel). The data reflect gating on monocytes, based on forward and side scattered light signals. To demonstrate specificity of staining, the binding of APC-C11.5 antibody was blocked by preincubation of the conjugated antibody with excess recombinant human IL-12 p70 (Cat. No. 554613; middle left panel) and recombinant human IL-12 p40 (Cat. No. 554633; middle right panel), but not by recombinant human IL-12 p35 protein (far right panel). Preincubation of the fixed/permeabilized cells with an excess of the unlabelled C11.5 antibody (5 µg final; Cat. No. 554573) prior to staining with the APC-C11.5 antibody also blocked staining (data not shown). The quadrant markers for the bivariate dot plots were set based on the autofluorescence control, and verified with the recombinant cytokine blocking and unlabelled antibody blocking specificity controls. This APC-conjugated reagent can be used in any flow cytometer equipped with a dye, HeNE or red diode laser. These include the dual laser FACStarPLUS™, FACS Vantage™ or FACSCalibur.™

Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
Immunofluorescent Staining and Flow Cytometric Analysis: The APC-conjugated C11.5 antibody can be used for multicolor immunofluorescent staining and flow cytometric analyses to identify and enumerate IL-12 p40/p70-producing cells within mixed cell populations (see Figure). For optimal immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis, this anti-cytokine antibody should be titrated (≤ 0.5 µg mAb/million cells). For specific methodology, please visit the online protocols section or chapter on Immunofluorescent Staining in the Immune Function Handbook, both of which are posted on our web site, www.bdbiosciences.com.
A suitable mouse IgG1 isotype control for assessing the level of background staining on paraformaldehyde-fixed/saponin-permeabilized human cells is APC-MOPC-21 immunoglobulin (Cat. No. 554681); use at comparable concentrations to antibody of interest (e.g., ≤ 0.5 µg mAb/1 million cells).
A useful control for demonstrating specificity of staining is either of the following: 1) pre-block the fluorochrome-conjugated C11.5 antibody with excess ligand (e.g., recombinant human IL-12 p70, Cat. No. 554613 or recombinant human IL-12 p40, Cat. No. 554633) prior to staining, or 2) pre-block the fixed/permeabilized cells with unlabelled C11.5 antibody (Cat. No. 554573) prior to staining. For specific methodology, please visit our web site, www.bdbiosciences.com, and go to the protocols section or the chapter on intracellular staining in the Immune Function Handbook.
Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
- Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.

The C11.5 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the human IL-12 p40 monomer and p70 heterodimer, but does not bind to the IL-12 p35 monomer. The immunogen used to generate the C11.5 hybridoma was the CHO-expressed recombinant human IL-12 p70 heterodimer. p40 has also been described as a subunit of IL-23 and thus it is possible that the C11.5 antibody crossreacts with IL-23.
