Target data

Function

Vimentin, a class-III intermediate filament, is present in various non-epithelial cells, particularly mesenchymal cells, and connects either laterally or terminally to the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria. It is involved with LARP6 in stabilizing type I collagen mRNAs for CO1A1 and CO1A2. This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.

    Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-Vimentin antibody (ab24525)

    Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence analysis of neuron/glial cultures labeling Vimentin with ab24525 (green) and GFAP with Anti-GFAP antibody - Astrocyte Marker ab7260 (red). Vimentin is the sole cytoplasmic intermediate filament subunit expressed in fibroblasts, microglial and endothelial cells. The flattened cells in the middle of the image which appear green are fibroblasts. Astrocytes may express primarily GFAP, or both 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 proteins assemble to produce heteropolymer filaments.

    Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-Vimentin antibody (ab24525)

    Rat cerebral cortex cultures stained with chicken antibody to vimentin ab24525 (green) and rabbit antibody to GFAP (red). Note flattened fibroblastic cells are mostly green (i.e. vimentin positive, GFAP negative), while clearly astrocytic cells, express both vimentin and GFAP and therefore appear golden or orange. Certain other cells express predominantly GFAP and therefore appear red.

    Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-Vimentin antibody (ab24525)

    ab24525 staining Vimentin in rat smooth muscle cells from mesenteric artery by Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence. Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde in physiological saline solution (PSS) 4 min at 4°C and permeabilized with 0.3% Triton x100 before blocking with 2% BSA was done for 30 minutes at 20°C. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/300: in PSS with 2%BSA and 0.3% Triton X-100) for 14 hours at 4°C. Abcam`s Goat Anti-Chicken IgY H&L (Texas Red ®) ab6875, goat anti-chicken IgY Texas Red was used as secondary antibody at 1/400 dilution.
