* Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.
* Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.
* Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 degree C in the sealed bag provided.
* Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.
* It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.
Background: Oncostatin M(OSM) is a cytokine originally isolated from medium conditioned by PMA-treated U-937 histiocytic leukemia cells based on its ability to inhibit growth of A375 melanoma cells. The OSM cDNA encodes a 252 amino acid pre-pro-OSM polypeptide with a 25 residue hydrophobic signal peptide and a hydrophilic C-terminal domain that are proteolytically processed to generate the 196 residue mature form of OSM. Although both mature and pro-OSM are equally active in radio-receptor assays, the mature OSM is 5- to 60-fold more active in growth inhibition assays. Thus, proteolytic processing of the pro-OSM peptide may be important in regulating the in vivo activities of OSM.OSM is a pleiotropic cytokine that initiates its biological activities by binding to specific cell surface receptors.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
mouse homolog is a cytokine and an immediate early gene [RGD, Feb 2006]
Uniprot Description
Growth regulator. 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 (). Uses only type II OSM receptor (heterodimers composed of OSMR and IL6ST). Involved in the maturation of fetal hepatocytes, thereby promoting liver development and regeneration.

Product Notes
The Rat OSM osm (Catalog #AAA9712700) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9712700 ELISA Kit recognizes Rat OSM. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Oncostatin M (OSM), ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
