Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - anti-Vimentin antibody [RV202] - Neural Stem Cell Marker (ab8978)

ab8978 staining Vimentin in bovine chromospheres by ICC/IF (immunocytochemistry/immunofluorescence). Cells were PFA fixed and permeabilized in 0.3% Triton X-100. The primary antibody (1/500) was incubated with the sample for 16 hours at 4°C. An Alexa Fluor^® 568-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG polyclonal (1/500) was used as the secondary.

ab8978 staining Vimentin in human immortalized primary epithelial primary cells by ICC/IF (Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence). Cells were fixed with paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with PBS and 0.5% Triton ×100 and blocking with 0.1% BSA + 10% Goat Serum at 25⁰C for 30 minutes was performed. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/250: in PBS, 0.1% BSA and 10% Goat Serum) for 12 hours at 4°C. An Alexa Fluor^®594-conjugated goat polyclonal to mouse IgG was used undiluted as secondary antibody.

ab8978 staining Vimentin in human lung tissue section by Immunohistochemistry (Frozen sections). Tissue samples were fixed with formaldehyde and blocking with 5% commercially available blocking agent was performed at 37⁰C  for 15 minutes. The sample was incubated with primary antibody (1/250) at 37⁰C for 1 hour. A HRP-conjugated Goat polyclonal to mouse IgG was used as secondary antibody at 1/1000 dilution.

ab8978 staining vimentin in human pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells by immunocytochemistry/ immunofluorescence. Cells were PFA fixed and permeabilized in 0.2% Triton X prior to blocking in 3% BSA for 30 minutes at 24ºC. The primary antibody was diluted 1/200 and incubated with the sample for 16 hours at 21ºC. Alexa fluor® 488 mouse polyclonal to mouse Ig, diluted 1/300 was used as the secondary antibody

Overlay histogram showing HeLa cells stained with ab8978 (red line). The cells were fixed with methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100® for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab8978, 1/100 dilution) for 30 min at 22ºC. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22ºC. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG1 [ICIGG1] (ab91353, 2µg/1x10⁶ cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed. This anti-Vimentin antibody gave a positive signal in HeLa cells fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min)/permeabilized in 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100® used under the same conditions.

ab8978 staining Vimentin - Neural Stem Cell Marker in Human Colon fibroblasts by ICC/IF (Immunocytochemistry/immunofluorescence). Cells were fixed with methanol, permeabilized in 0.1% Triton and blocked with 0.25% serum free protein blocker for 20 minutes at 28ºC. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/100 in antibody diluent) for 2 hours at 28ºC. ab6785 Goat polyclonal anti-Mouse IgG - H&L (FITC) (1/800) was used as the secondary antibody. Nuclei were counterstained with propidium iodide.
