IL-12 is a heterodimeric lymphokine that induces IFN-gamma production by resting PBMC, enhances the lytic activity of NK/lymphokine activated killer cells, and causes the proliferation of activated T cells and NK cells. In this report, we have investigated the expression of IL-12R on mitogen- and IL-2-activated PBMC or tonsillar lymphocytes as well as on a variety of cell lines. The results of radiolabeled...
