Additional Information
| Alternative name | Vimentin |
| Immunogen | RV202 is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody derived by fusion of SP2/0-Ag14 mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells from a BALB/c mouse immunized with a cytoskeletal vimentin extract of calf lens. |
| Isotype | IgG1 |
| Clone | RV202 |
| Description | Vimentin (57 kDa) is the intermediate filament protein (IFP) of mesenchymal cells. This IFP however often deviates from the tissue-specific and developmentally regulated pattern of expression. Besides its typical expression in most cultured cells, vimentin is also expressed together with several other IFPs during early stages of development. As differentiation proceeds, vimentin is exchanged for the tissue-specific intermediate filament type. Also in cancers, vimentin is often expressed in addition to the tissue-specific IFP. |
| Specificity | Human, mouse, rat, hamster, chicken, goat, canine and monkey. |
Application Details
| Application Notes | RV202 reacts exclusively with vimentin, which is expressed in mesenchymal cells and mesenchymal derived tumors e.g. lymphoma, sarcoma and melanoma. RV202 is suitable for immunoblotting, immunocytochemistry, immunohistochemistry on frozen tissues and for staining with avidin-biotinylated horseradish peroxidase complex (ABC) as detection reagentand flow cytometry. Optimal antibody dilution should be determined by titration. |
| Purification | Culture supernatant |
| Storage | Store at 4 o C, or in small aliquots at -20 o C. |
| Research Area | Lineage Markers, Cytoskeleton, Neural Stem Cell marker, Cell/Tissue Markers |
| Restrictions | For Research Use only |
