Rabbit anti-Vimentin Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
Vimentin is the major protein subunit of the 10nm or intermediate filaments protein found in many kinds of mesenchymal and epithelia cells. Vimentin is also found in many kinds of cells in tissue culture and in developing neuronal and astrocytic precursor cells in the central nervous system. Vimentin frequently forms copolymers with other intermediate filament proteins, such as GFAP (in many kinds of astrocytes), with desmin (in muscle cells) and neurofilament proteins (in developing neurons). Antibodies to vimentin are useful in studies of stem cells and generally to reveal the filamentous cytoskeleton.

Chicken anti-Vimentin Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, IHC-Frozen, ICC.
Background Info:
Vimentins are class-III intermediate filaments specific to mesenchymal tissue. Vimentin is an important cytoskeletal component responsible for maintaining cell integrity and has a probable role in the intracellular transport of proteins such as lipoproteins between the nucleus and plasma membrane. Immunohistochemical staining for Vimentin is characteristic of sarcomas.

Mouse anti-Vimentin Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, IHC-Frozen, IHC-Paraffin-embedded.
Background Info:
Vimentins are class-III intermediate filaments specific to mesenchymal tissue. Vimentin is an important cytoskeletal component responsible for maintaining cell integrity and has a probable role in the intracellular transport of proteins such as lipoproteins between the nucleus and plasma membrane. Immunohistochemical staining for Vimentin is characteristic of sarcomas.
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western Blotting (WB). A concentration of 0.5-1.0 µg/mL is recommended for WB. Human vimentin (precursor) has a predicted length of 466 residues and MW of 54 kDa. A concentration of 1.5-2.5 µg/mL is recommended to detect the protein in formalin fixed and paraffin embedded tissues. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Vimentin, also know as VIM. It is the major subunit protein of the intermediate filaments of mesenchymal cells. It is believed to be involved with the intracellular transport of proteins between the nucleus and plasma membrane. Vimentin has been implicated to be involved in the rate of steroid synthesis via its role as a storage network for steroidogenic cholesterol containing lipid droplets. Vimentin phosphorylation by a protein kinase causes the breakdown of intermediate filaments and activation of an ATP and myosin light chain dependent contractile event. This results in cytoskeletal changes that facilitate the interaction of the lipid droplets within mitochondria, and subsequent transport of cholesterol to the organelles leading to an increase in steroid synthesis. Immunohistochemical staining for Vimentin is characteristic of sarcomas (of neural, muscle and fibroblast origin) compared to carcinomas which are generally negative. Melanomas, lymphomas and vascular tumors may all stain for Vimentin. Vimentin antibodies are thus of value in the differential diagnosis of undifferentiated neoplasms and malignant tumors. They are generally used with a panel of other antibodies including those recognising cytokeratins, lymphoid markers, S100, desmin and neurofilaments.
