IL-12 promotes differentiation of helper T cell into Th1 cell with antitumor activity, and inhibits tumor promotion of Th2 cytokines via improving IFN-γ production and cell immune. IFN-γ mediated anti-angiogenesis plays an important role in immune regulation and antitumor. Roles of IL-12 family members(e.g. IL-12, IL-23, IL-27, …
