[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/IL12B_HUMAN IL12B_HUMAN] Cytokine that can act as a growth factor for activated T and NK cells, enhance the lytic activity of NK/lymphokine-activated killer cells, and stimulate the production of IFN-gamma by resting PBMC.<ref>PMID:11114383</ref> Associates with IL23A to form the IL-23 interleukin, a heterodimeric cytokine which functions in innate and adaptive immunity. IL-23 may constitute with IL-17 an acute response to infection in peripheral tissues. IL-23 binds to a heterodimeric receptor complex composed of IL12RB1 and IL23R, activates the Jak-Stat signaling cascade, stimulates memory rather than naive T-cells and promotes production of proinflammatory cytokines. IL-23 induces autoimmune inflammation and thus may be responsible for autoimmune inflammatory diseases and may be important for tumorigenesis.<ref>PMID:11114383</ref> | [https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/IL12B_HUMAN IL12B_HUMAN] Cytokine that can act as a growth factor for activated T and NK cells, enhance the lytic activity of NK/lymphokine-activated killer cells, and stimulate the production of IFN-gamma by resting PBMC.<ref>PMID:11114383</ref> Associates with IL23A to form the IL-23 interleukin, a heterodimeric cytokine which functions in innate and adaptive immunity.

| + | Adnectins are targeted biologics derived from the tenth type III domain of human fibronectin ((10)Fn3), a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. Target-specific binders are selected from libraries generated by diversifying the three (10)Fn3 loops that are analogous to the complementarity determining regions of antibodies. The crystal structures of two Adnectins were determined, each in complex with its therapeutic target, EGFR or IL-23. Both Adnectins bind different epitopes than those bound by known monoclonal antibodies. Molecular modeling suggests that some of these epitopes might not be accessible to antibodies because of the size and concave shape of the antibody combining site. In addition to interactions from the Adnectin diversified loops, residues from the N terminus and/or the beta strands interact with the target proteins in both complexes. Alanine-scanning mutagenesis confirmed the calculated binding energies of these beta strand interactions, indicating that these nonloop residues can expand the available binding footprint. | ||
