Application notes 
(see key)

Recommended dilutions
ICC/IF: 1/200 (see Abreview).
IHC-P: 1/25 for 30 min at RT. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0 for 10 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min.
IP: Use at 2µg/mg of lysate.

Not tested in other applications.
Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Relevance 

Vinculin is a cytoskeletal protein associated with the cytoplasmic faces of both cell-cell and cell extracellular matrix adherens type junctions. It functions as one of several interacting proteins involved in anchoring F-actin to the membrane. The sequences of chicken, nematode and human vinculin have been determined. It has been shown that a sequence of molecular interactions might be involved in the transmembrane assembly of adhesion plaques. In the assembly of adhesion plaques, the beta subunit of integrin binds to talin. Talin binds to vinculin that interacts with alpha actinin and possibly with itself. Since alpha actinin binds to and cross links actin filaments, vinculin represents a key element in the transmembrane linkage of the extracellular matrix to the cytoplasmic microfilament system.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections)-Vinculin antibody [SPM227](ab18058)

Ab18058 staining human normal prostate. Staining is localised to the nucleus and cytoplasm.
Left panel: with primary antibody at 1 ug/ml. Right panel: isotype control.
Sections were stained using an automated system DAKO Autostainer Plus , at room temperature. Sections were rehydrated and antigen retrieved with the Dako 3-in-1 AR buffer citrate pH 6.0 in a DAKO PT Link. Slides were peroxidase blocked in 3% H2O2 in methanol for 10 minutes. They were then blocked with Dako Protein block for 10 minutes (containing casein 0.25% in PBS), then incubated with primary antibody for 20 minutes, and detected with Dako Envision Flex amplification kit for 30 minutes. Colorimetric detection was completed with diaminobenzidine for 5 minutes. Slides were counterstained with Haematoxylin and coverslipped under DePeX. Please note that for manual staining we recommend to optimize the primary antibody concentration and incubation time (overnight incubation), and amplification may be required.
