Western Blot (WB)

(Western blot analysis of Vimentin Antibody (Center) in A2058,A375 cell line lysates (35ug/lane). Vimentin (arrow) was detected using the purified Pab.)

Western Blot (WB)

(Western blot analysis of Vimentin (arrow) using Vimentin Antibody (Center). 293 cell lysates (2 ug/lane) either nontransfected (Lane 1) or transiently transfected with the VIM gene (Lane 2) (Origene Technologies).)

Immunohistochemistry (IHC)

(Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded human breast carcinoma tissue reacted with Vimentin antibody (Center), which was peroxidase-conjugated to the secondary antibody, followed by DAB staining. This data demonstrates the use of this antibody for immunohistochemistry; clinical relevance has not been evaluated.)

Immunohistochemistry (IHC)

(Vimentin Antibody (Center) immunohistochemistry analysis in formalin fixed and paraffin embedded human prostate tissue followed by peroxidase conjugation of the secondary antibody and DAB staining.This data demonstrates the use of Vimentin Antibody (Center) for immunohistochemistry. Clinical relevance has not been evaluated.)

Flow Cytometry (FC/FACS)

(Vimentin Antibody (Center) flow cytometric analysis of Hela cells (right histogram) compared to a negative control cell (left histogram).FITC-conjugated donkey-anti-rabbit secondary antibodies were used for the analysis.)

NCBI Description

This gene encodes a type III intermediate filament protein. Intermediate filaments, along with microtubules and actin microfilaments, make up the cytoskeleton. The encoded protein is responsible for maintaining cell shape and integrity of the cytoplasm, and stabilizing cytoskeletal interactions. This protein is involved in neuritogenesis and cholesterol transport and functions as an organizer of a number of other critical proteins involved in cell attachment, migration, and signaling. Bacterial and viral pathogens have been shown to attach to this protein on the host cell surface. Mutations in this gene are associated with congenital cataracts in human patients.
