Vimentin antibody
Description Mouse monoclonal Vimentin antibody (Shipping Cost: €205.00) Host Mouse Application Flow Cytometry (FC),Immunohistochemistry (IHC),Immunohistochemistry on frozen sections (IHC-Fs),Immunohistochemistry on paraffin sections (IHC-P),Western Blot (WB) Reactivity Chicken,Human,Rat,Sheep Specificity Reacts exclusively with vimentin, which is expressed in mesenchymal cells and mesenchymal derived tumors eg lymphoma, sarcoma and melanoma -
Vimentin [V9]
Description Anti-vimentin is of limited value as a diagnostic tool; however, when used in combination with other antibodies (in panels) it is useful for the subclassification of a given tumor. Expression of vimentin, when used in conjunction with anti-keratin, is helpful when distinguishing melanomas from undifferentiated carcinomas and large cell lymphomas. All melanomas and Schwannomas react strongly with anti-vimentin. This antibody recognizes a 57 kD intermediate filament. It labels a variety of mesenchymal cells, including melanocytes, lymphocytes, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts. Non-reactivity of anti-vimentin is often considered more useful than its positive reactivity, since there are a few tumors that do not contain vimentin, e.g. hepatoma and seminoma. Anti-vimentin is also useful as a tissue process control reagent. (Shipping Cost: €200.00) Host Mouse Application Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Reactivity Human -
