Immunostaining of formalin fixed paraffin embedded human microtissues after exposure to MTX, TAA and TGF-β1.
Formalin fixed paraffin embedded slides of HepaRG/THP-1 macrophages/hTERT-HSC microtissues were stained with Hematoxylin & Eosin (H&E) and vimentin after 14 days of treatment with MTX, TAA and TGF-β1. Microtissues were fixed in 4% PFA and embedded in 2% agarose prior to paraffinization. Microtissues showed increase in the vimentin positive cells after MTX, TAA and TGF-β1 exposure. Vimentin stainings show proliferation of stellate cells and THP-1 macrophages in the microtissues, suggesting the onset of inflammation process.

We have systematically measured KD (the equilibrium dissociation constant between the antibody and its antigen), of more than 840 recombinant antibodies to assess not only their individual KD values but also to see the average affinity of antibody.
Based on the comparison with published literature values for mouse monoclonal antibodies, Recombinant antibodies appear to be on average 1-2 order of magnitude higher affinity.

The cells were then incubated with Anti-Vimentin antibody [EPR3776] - Cytoskeleton Marker ab92547 at 0.5μg/ml and Alexa Fluor® 594 Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Microtubule Marker ab195889 at 1/250 dilution (shown in pseudocolour red) overnight at +4°C, followed by a further incubation at room temperature for 1h with a goat secondary antibody to Rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor® 488) (Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed ab150081) at 2 μg/ml (shown in green). Nuclear DNA was labelled in blue with DAPI.
Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).
This IHC data was generated using the same anti-Vimentin antibody clone, EPR3776, in a different buffer formulation (cat# Anti-Vimentin antibody [EPR3776] - Cytoskeleton Marker ab92547).
IHC image of unpurified Anti-Vimentin antibody [EPR3776] - Cytoskeleton Marker ab92547 staining Vimentin in human breast adenocarcinoma formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections*, performed on a Leica Bond. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with Anti-Vimentin antibody [EPR3776] - Cytoskeleton Marker ab92547, 1/200 dilution, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX. No primary antibody was used in the negative control (shown on the inset).
For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

Vimentin immunofluorescence staining of VIM KO cells using rabbit anti-Vimentin antibody
Anti-Vimentin antibody [EPR3776] - Cytoskeleton Marker ab92547 staining VIM in wild-type HeLa cells with negative expression in VIM knockout HeLa cells. The cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min) permeabilised with 0.1% Triton x-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at +4°C with Anti-Vimentin antibody [EPR3776] - Cytoskeleton Marker ab92547 at 2 μg/ml and Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Loading Control ab7291 Mouse monoclonal [DM1A] to alpha Tubulin at 0.5 μg/ml.
