Description
For purification, first organic extraction is performed to remove the lipid and proteolipds. Then ammonium sulfate precipitation of the aqueous is done to precipitate and concentrate the IgY fraction. Finally, extensive dialysis is performed against PBS followed by addition of Sodium Azide.
Scientific Data Images for Vimentin Antibody
Western Blot: Vimentin Antibody [NB300-223]
Western Blot: Vimentin Antibody [NB300-223] - Analysis of tissue and cell lysates. Antibody at 1:5000 in red. [1] protein standard (red), [2] rat whole brain lysate, [3] HeLa, [4] SH-SY5Y, [5] HEK293, and [6] NIH-3T3 cell lysates. NB300-223 binds to the vimentin protein showing a single band at ~50 kDa. The blot was simultaneously probed with mouse mAb to MAP2C/D, dilution 1:5000 in green, revealing multiple bands around 280 kDa that correspond to full length MAP2A/2B isotypes, and ~70 kDa bands which are MAP2C/D isotypes. MAP2 isotypes are seen only in extracts containing neuronal lineage cells.Immunohistochemistry: Vimentin Antibody [NB300-223]
Immunohistochemistry: Vimentin Antibody [NB300-223] - Attenuated reactive astrocytosis after stroke in Smad1 cKO mice. Enlarged IHC images of boxed areas at the cortical peri-infarct area with the indicated reactive astrocyte markers GFAP, Nestin, and Vimentin. Enlarged images of GFAP IHC highlight the hypertrophic morphology of GFAP+ astrocytes in mutants. Image collected and cropped by CiteAb from the following publication (https://dx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0136967), licensed under a CC-BY license.Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence: Vimentin Antibody [NB300-223]
Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: Vimentin Antibody [NB300-223] - Human A7 cells. Cells were fixed with 10% formalin and permeabilized with 0.1% TritonX-100. After blocking, cells were incubated with primary antibody (1:600) at 4C O/N followed with Alexa Fluor 488 labeled secondary antibody and counterstained with DAPI and Phalloidin for nuclei and F-actin respectively. Imaged with Leica TCS SP5 confocal microscope. ICC/IF image submitted by a verified customer review.Applications for Vimentin Antibody

Background: Vimentin
Activated macrophages have been shown to secrete phosphorylated vimentin which can be stimulated by a variety of pathophysiological factors including oxidized low-density lipoproteins and TNF-alpha or inhibited by IL-10 (1). The vimentin protein is often expressed at the cell surface playing a role in cell-cell interactions, tissue damage and repair, immune response, and pathogen recognition (1). Vimentin functions in many cytoskeletal processes including cell migration, which is highlighted by its upregulation during epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) (4,5). Vimentin is a commonly used marker for EMT and is expressed by many tumor types (5). For example, high metastasis of oral squamous cell carcinomas also showed high vimentin positive expression in immunohistochemical staining analysis (5). A number of vimentin targeting compounds are in cancer-related clinical trials, however, given the multifunctional role of vimentin, the effect of inhibition on non-malignant cells needs to be thoroughly examined (5).
