Oncostatin M is an important growth regulating cytokine that affects, variably, a number of tumor and normal cells. Oncostatin M exerts inhibitory effects on the growth of A375 melanoma and other cancer cells but augments the growth of normal fibroblasts, AIDS related Kaposi sarcoma cells, and certain other cells. Oncostatin M is a 25.8kD protein containing 227 amino acid residues. Biological Activity USBio's human Oncostatin M is fully biologically active when compared to standards. The ED50 as determined by the dose dependent stimulation of the proliferation of human TF-1 cells is 2ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 5x10e5 units/mg. Responding Cells (partial list): Tumor cells, certain other cells Concentration Range: For most in vitro applications: 0.1-10ng/ml Storage and Stability: Lyophilized powder may be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Reconstitute to nominal volume in sterile water and store at -20°C. Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Molecular Weight: 25.8kD |
