Applications
ApplicationAnti-Vinculin Antibody, clone VIIF9 (7F9) is an antibody against Vinculin for use in IP, WB, IC, IH(P).
Key Applications
  • Immunoprecipitation
  • Western Blotting
  • Immunocytochemistry
  • Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin)
Application NotesWestern blot. 1:1000; ~117kDa band. Suggested blocking buffer is TBS-Tween with 2% BSA. Suggested dilution buffer is TBS-Tween with 0.05% sodium azide. Preferred gel percentage is 10% and/or 4-20% (or similar) gradient gel.

Immunohistochemistry on frozen and paraffin embedded tissue sections. Suggested fixation for frozen tissue sections is acetone fix for 6 minutes at room temperature. For formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue sections: microwave in 0.01M citrate buffer (pH 6.0) for 8-10 minutes (note that all microwaves differ and adjustments may need to be made). If necessary follow with enzyme digestion (0.01% pronase for 10 mintues). Suggested blocking agent is fetal bovine serum. The antibody has also been used successfully on methyl-Carnoy fixed tissue.

Immunocytochemistry (see application notes below).

Immunoprecipitation. Suggested extraction buffer is 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% SDS, 0.5% deoxycholic acid-NaCl and 0.5 mM PMSF. Final reaction volume is 1 mL and suggested capture agent is agarose conjugated anti-mouse IgG. Note that the muscle-specific isoform, meta-vinculin (MW 150 kDa) will co-precipitate.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

APPLICATION NOTES FOR MAB3574

IMMUNOCYTOCHEMISTRY

For cultured cells, use the following method: 1) wash cells twice with buffer "A" (100 mM Pipes (to make it dissolve, titrate with KOH), 0.5mM MgCl2, 0.1 mM EDTA, 0.01M EGTA (to make it dissolve, titrate with KOH), pH 6.9); 2) fix 15 min @RT (3.7% formalin, 0.2% Triton X-100, 2M Glycerol, prepared on buffer A); 3) wash 3 times with buffer "A"; 4) proceed with incubation with primary Abs, etc.

Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryVinculin is a cytoskeletal protein associated with cell-cell and cell-matrix junctions, where it is thought to function as one of several interacting proteins involved in anchoring F-actin to the membrane. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene, but the biological validity of some variants has not been determined. Human vinculin protein exhibits a greater than 95% sequence identity to the chicken vinculin protein.
