DescriptionAnti-Vimentin Antibody, clone V9
Background InformationVimentin 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. 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.

FormatPurified
Control
  • Breast carcinoma tissue, Colon, Prostate, Tonsil, Tonsilar lymphoma, Uterus, Ureter
PresentationPurified mouse monoclonal IgG1 presented in 0.02 M Phosphate buffer, 0.25 M NaCl with 0.1% sodium azide.
Quality LevelMQ100
Applications
ApplicationAnti-Vimentin Antibody, clone V9 is an antibody against Vimentin for use in IC, IH, IH(P) & WB.
Key Applications
  • Immunocytochemistry
  • Immunohistochemistry
  • Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin)
  • Western Blotting
Application NotesImmunoblotting:
A dilution of 1:1000 was used in a previous lot.

Immunohistochemistry:
5-10 μg/mL was used on a previous lot; can be used on formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissues with traditional high temperature, citrate buffer treatments. Prolonged formalin fixation can reduce antivbody reactivity.

Immunocytochemistry:
5-10 μg/mL of a previous lot was used in IC.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.

HostMouse
SpecificityRecognizes a 57-60 kDa protein. Shows no cross reactivity with other closely related intermediate filament proteins including desmin and GFAP. In tissue sections, this reagent shows positive reaction on connective tissue, endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells and astrocytes. In tissue culture, typical intermediate filament profiles are seen in fibroblasts and other cell types, which contain vimentin

Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryAlong with the microfilaments (actins) and microtubules (tubulins), the intermediate filaments represent a third class of well-characterized cytoskeletal elements. The subunits display a tissue-specific pattern of expression. Desmin (MIM 125660) is the subunit specific for muscle and vimentin the subunit specific for mesenchymal tissue.[supplied by OMIM]

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: SwissProt: P08670 # Vimentins are class-III intermediate filaments found in various non-epithelial cells, especially mesenchymal cells.
SIZE: 466 amino acids; 53652 Da
SUBUNIT: Homopolymer. Component of a complex composed at least of ACTB, AP2M1, AP2A1, AP2A2, MEGF10 and VIM. Interacts with HCV core protein.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Highly expressed in fibroblasts, some expression in T- and B-lymphocytes, and little or no expression in Burkitt's lymphoma cell lines. Expressed in many hormone- independent mammary carcinoma cell lines.
PTM: One of the most prominent phosphoproteins in various cells of mesenchymal origin. Phosphorylation is enhanced during cell division, at which time vimentin filaments are significantly reorganized.
SIMILARITY: SwissProt: P08670 ## Belongs to the intermediate filament family. ...
