Abstract excerpt
Oncostatin M is a polypeptide cytokine, produced by normal and malignant hematopoietic cells, that has several in vitro activities, including the ability to inhibit growth of cultured carcinoma cells. Here we present a structural and functional comparison of two oncostatin M-related proteins (Mr 36,000 and 32,000) secreted by COS cells transfected with oncostatin M cDNA. The smaller of these forms lacked a...
