Application Notes for anti-VIM antibody
IHC: 1:10-1:50
FLISA: 1:1,000
WB: 1:50-1:100
Applications are based on unconjugated antibody.

Immunofluorescence (IF) of anti-VIM antibody

Fluorescent confocal image of SY5Y cells stained with Vimentin (S82) antibody. SY5Y cells were fixed with 4% PFA (20 min), permeabilized with Triton X-100 (0.2%, 30 min). Cells were then incubated with AP2739a Vimentin (S82) primary antibody (1:200, 2 h at room temperature). For secondary antibody, Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated donkey anti-rabbit antibody (green) was used (1:1000, 1h). Nuclei were counterstained with Hoechst 33342 (blue) (10 ug/ml, 5 min). Note the highly specific localization of the Vimentin immunosignal to the cytoskeleton, supported by Human Protein Atlas Data.

Western Blot (WB) of anti-VIM antibody

Western blot analysis of Vimentin-S82 in Hela cell line lysates (35ug/lane). Vimentin (arrow) was detected using the purified Pab.

Western Blot (WB) of anti-VIM antibody

Western blot analysis of VIM(arrow) using rabbit polyclonal Vimentin Antibody (S82). 293 cell lysates (2 ug/lane) either nontransfected (Lane 1) or transiently transfected with the VIM gene (Lane 2) (Origene Technologies).

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) of anti-VIM antibody

Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded human breast carcinoma tissue reacted with Vimentin Antibody (S82), 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.

Other Notes

Small volumes of anti-VIM antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

NCBI Summary for VIM

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.
