- Extra Details:
- Vimentin is a cytoskeleton intermediate filament protein present in cells of mesenchymal origin, including leukocytes, endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells. It is subject to citrullination by peptidyl arginine deiminase 2 (PAD2) under high calcium concentrations, which can occur during macrophage apoptosis. Citrullinated vimentin has been shown to have a role in the production of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs). Serum levels of immune complexes targeting citrullinated vimentin are increased in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and positive for ACPAs. Serum and plasma levels of citrullinated vimentin are also increased in patients with lung cancer or idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, respectively. Applications: Suitable for use in Immunoprecipitation, Western Blot and ELISA. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: Western Blot: 1:1000 ELISA: 1:1000 Immunoprecipitation: 5ug/test Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
