The cytokine Interleukin 27 (IL-27) is produced in response to inflammation. It is made by activated antigen presenting cells including monocytes, endothelial cells, and dendritic cells. IL-27 consists of a heterodimeric combination of Epstein-Barr virus-induced molecule 3 (EBI3, or IL-27B) non-covalently linked with IL-27 p28 (or IL-27A). It is a regulator of T helper cell development and suppressor of T-cell proliferation. IL-27 has both pro- and anti-inflammatory properties. It can stimulate cytotoxic T cell activity and induce isotype switching in B-cells. It has diverse effects on innate immune cells. It induces monocytes and mast cells to secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines. When infection is present, IL-27 induces naive CD4+ T cells to proliferate and develop Th1 cell responses. As an anti-inflammatory regulator, IL-27 can inhibit Th1 or Th2 responses and restrict the strength and duration of adaptive immune responses.nnThe IL-27 p28 subunit, a 28 kDa glycoprotein belonging to the type I cytokine family, is homologous to IL-12 p35, IL-23 p19, and IL-6. The EBI3 (Epstein-Barr virus-induced molecule 3, or IL-27B) subunit is a 34 kDa glycoprotein containing two fibronectin type III domains, and belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. It can exist as a homodimer and can also heterodimerize with IL-27 p28 or IL-12 p35 subunit. It is homologous to the p40 subunit of IL-12 and IL-23 and to the extracellular domain of IL-6 R.

Store vial at -20° C or below prior to opening. This vial contains a relatively low volume of reagent (25 µL). To minimize loss of volume dilute 1:10 by adding 225 µL of the buffer stated above directly to the vial. Recap, mix thoroughly and briefly centrifuge to collect the volume at the bottom of the vial. Use this intermediate dilution when calculating final dilutions as recommended below. Store the vial at -20°C or below after dilution. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing.
