Scientific Data Images for Mouse Oncostatin M/OSM Antibody

Oncostatin M/OSM antibody in Mouse Embryo by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-Fr).

Oncostatin M/OSM in Mouse Embryo.

Oncostatin M/OSM was detected in immersion fixed frozen sections of mouse embryo (15 d.p.c, section through spinal cord) using Mouse Oncostatin M/OSM Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-495-NA) at 15 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS008) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue).

Cell Proliferation Induced by Oncostatin M/OSM and Neutralization by Mouse Oncostatin M/OSM Antibody.

Cell Proliferation Induced by Oncostatin M/OSM and Neutralization by Mouse Oncostatin M/OSM Antibody.

Recombinant Mouse Oncostatin M/OSM (Catalog # 495-MO) stimulates proliferation in the NIH-3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). Proliferation elicited by Recombinant Mouse Oncostatin M/OSM (15 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Mouse Oncostatin M/OSM Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-495-NA). The ND50 is typically 0.6-3.0 µg/mL.

Background: Oncostatin M/OSM

Oncostatin M (OSM) is a member of a cytokine subfamily that includes IL-6, IL-11, LIF, CNTF, and cardiotrophin-1. These cytokines have overlapping biological functions and shared receptor components. Mouse OSM was cloned and identified as an immediate early gene induced in various myeloid and lymphoid cell lines by a subset of cytokines including IL-2, IL-3, GM-CSF, and EPO. The mouse OSM cDNA encodes a 263 amino acid residue precursor protein that shows 48% identity with human OSM. Similar to human OSM, the C-terminal region of mouse OSM contains a highly charged region. Deletion of this C-terminal region appears to be essential for the formation of biologically active mOSM.

The biological activity of human OSM has been shown to be mediated either by the LIF/OSM receptor complex composed of gp130 and LIF R alpha or by a human OSM specific receptor composed of gp130 and OSM R alpha. It remains to be determined if the biological activities of mouse OSM can also be mediated by both receptor complexes in mouse cells.
