Extra Details:
Vimentin (57kD) is the intermediate filament protein (IFP) of mesenchymal cells. It is the only IFP, which 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. Vimentin is expressed in mesenchymal cells and mesenchymal derived tumors, e.g. lymphoma, sarcoma and melanoma. Applications: Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry, Flow Cytometry, Western Blot and Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Immunohistochemistry (Frozen, Paraffin): 1:25-1:200 using ABC method. Paraffin sections require HIER with 10mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10 min. Cool sections at room temperature for 20 min. Flow Cytometry: 1-25-1:200 Western Blot: 1:100-1:1000 Optimum dilutions to be determined by researcher. Hybridoma: PAI mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells from a BALB/c mouse immunized with Vimentin isolated from porcine lens. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, add sterile 40-50% glycerol, aliquot and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
