BACKGROUND: Interleukin-12 (IL-12) mediates its biologic activities via binding high-affinity receptors on T and natural killer cells. Although emphasis has been placed on the requirement for IL-12Rbeta2 in IL-12 bioactivity, the role of IL-12Rbeta1 is less well defined. The current study evaluated the effects of exogenous IL-12 on alloantigen-specific immune responses and determined the requirement for...
