Product Details anti-Vimentin Antibody

Target: Vimentin (VIM)

Reactivity: Human, Rat, Pig, Dog, Goat, Hamster

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This Vimentin antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunocytochemistry (ICC), Immunohistochemistry (Frozen Sections) (IHC (fro))

Specificity: Human, rat, goat, canine, hamster and swine.

Purification: Purified

Immunogen: RV203 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.

Clone: RV203

Isotype: IgG1

Application Details

Application Notes: RV203 reacts exclusively with vimentin, which is expressed in mesenchymal cells and mesenchymal derived tumors e.g. lymphoma, sarcoma and melanoma. RV203 is suitable for immunoblotting, immunocytochemistry, immunohistochemistry on frozen tissues and flow cytometry. Optimal antibody dilution should be determined by titration, recommended range is 1:100 - 1:200 for flow cytometry, and for immunohistochemistry with avidin-biotinylated horseradish peroxidase complex (ABC) as detection reagent, and 1:100 - 1:1000 for immunoblotting applications.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Storage: 4 °C

Background: 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.
