Vimentin antibody (CF®488A)

Catalog No. ABIN6934573

Product Details anti-Vimentin Antibody (CF®488A)

Target: Vimentin (VIM)

Reactivity: Human, Pig, Cow, Chicken, Dog, Cat, Goat

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This Vimentin antibody is conjugated to CF®488A

Application: Immunofluorescence (IF), Flow Cytometry (FACS), Test (T)

Specificity: This MAb reacts with a 58 kDa protein identified as vimentin. It shows no cross-reaction with other closely related intermediate filament proteins (IFP's) such as desmin, keratin, neurofilament, and glial fibrillary acid protein.Anti-vimentin alone is of limited value as a diagnostic tool, however, when used in panels with other antibodies, it is useful for the sub-classification of a given tumor. Expression of vimentin, when used in conjunction with anti-keratin, is helpful when distinguishing melanomas from undifferentiated carcinomas and large cell lymphomas. All melanomas and Schwannomas react strongly with anti-vimentin. It labels a variety of mesenchymal cells, including melanocytes, lymphocytes, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts. Non-reactivity of anti-vimentin is often considered more useful than its positive reactivity, since there are a few tumors that do not contain vimentin, e.g. hepatoma and seminoma. Anti-vimentin is also useful as a tissue process control reagent.
