Anti-Vimentin Antibody
Our Anti-Vimentin chicken polyclonal primary antibody detects human, mouse, other mammals (predicted), and rat Vimentin, and is IgY preparation. It is validated for use in ICC, IHC-Frozen, WB.

Cells were stained with chicken antibody to vimentin (1:10,000, green), and co-stained with a mouse anti-actin antibody (red). Blue: DAPI nuclear stain. The vimentin antibody stains the intermediate filament network, while the actin antibody labels the submembranous cytoskeleton, stress fibers, and bundles of actin associated with cell adhesion sites.

The blot was simultaneously probed with a mouse antibody to MAP2C/D (green).](http://www.antibodiesinc.com/cdn/shop/files/c-1409-50-ihc-wb_120x120.jpg?v=1759274040)
View of mixed neuron/glial cultures stained with Chicken polyclonal antibody to Vimentin C-1409-50 (green) and Rabbit polyclonal antibody to Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein R-1374-50 (red). Vimentin is expressed alone in fibroblastic and endothelial cells, which are the flattened cells in the middle of the imate which appear green. Astrocytes may express primarily Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP), or GFAP and vimentin, and so appear red (GFAP only) or golden yellow (GFAP and Vimentin). In cells which express both GFAP and vimentin, the two protein assemble to produce heteropolymer filaments.

Product Details
Vimentin
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.

Spin vial briefly before opening. Reconstitute with 50 µL sterile-filtered, ultrapure water. Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material. After reconstitution of lyophilized antibody, aliquot and store at -20°C for a higher stability. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
Lyophilized
Lyophilized IgY preparation, with sodium azide.
WB: 1:5000-1:10000
ICC: 1:1000-1:5000
ICC: 1:1000-1:5000
Unconjugated
The specificity of this antibody has been confirmed by WB. This antibody detects ~50 kDa Vimentin enzyme. Hu, rat, Ms. It is predicted to react with other mammals due to sequence homology.
