OSMR Monoclonal Antibody (AN-V2), PE, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Description

Description: This monoclonal AN-V2 antibody reacts with the human oncostatin M (OSM) receptor. OSM, which belongs to the interleukin-6 cytokine family, is produced by T cells, activated monocytes, and dendritic cells. In humans, OSM can bind two unique receptor complexes. The type I OSM receptor is composed of the LIFR associated with gp130, and recognizes both LIF and OSM. The type II OSM receptor, which consists of gp130 and the OSMR subunit, specifically binds the cytokine, leading to activation of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway. Reports have also indicated a soluble form of the OSM receptor, which this antibody also recognizes. The OSM receptor is expressed in the bone marrow, endothelium, liver, lung, and numerous tumor cell lines. The AN-V2 monoclonal antibody recognizes the type II (beta) OSM receptor. Applications Reported: This AN-V2 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This AN-V2 antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by flow cytometric analysis of the A375 cell line. This can be used at 5 μL (0.5 μg) per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. Excitation: 488-561 nm; Emission: 578 nm; Laser: Blue Laser, Green Laser, Yellow-Green Laser. Filtration: 0.2 μm post-manufacturing filtered.

Oncostatin M is a member of the IL6 family of cytokines. Functional receptors for IL6 family cytokines are multisubunit complexes involving members of the hematopoietin receptor superfamily. Many IL6 cytokines utilize gp130 as a common receptor subunit. OSM binds to the gp130 receptor subunit and, in association with the leukemia inhibitory factor receptor, induces a proliferative response in permissive cells. OSMR is an alternative subunit (for an OSM receptor complex (a heterodimer of gp130 and OSMR) that is activated by OSM but not by LIF.Oncostatin M is a member of the IL6 family of cytokines.
