Oncostatin-M Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 195 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 22kDa. The OSM is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Oncostatin M is a member of a cytokine family that includes leukemia-inhibitory factor, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, and interleukin 6. This gene encodes a growth regulator which inhibits the proliferation of a number of tumor cell lines. It regulates cytokine production, including IL-6, G-CSF and GM-CSF from endothelial cells.
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Oncostatin M in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of the proliferation of human TF-1 cells is < 0.2ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 5.0x106 units/mg.
