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.

Overlay histogram showing HeLa cells stained with ab16700 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween 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 (ab16700, 1/100 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) (Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (DyLight® 488) preadsorbed ab96899) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22°C.

False colour image of Western blot: Anti-Vimentin antibody [SP20] staining at 1/120 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-CANX [CANX/1543] (Anti-Calnexin antibody [CANX/1543] ab238078) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab16700 was shown to bind specifically to Vimentin. A band was observed at 55 kDa in wild-type A549 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in VIM knockout cell line Human VIM knockout A549 cell line ab288984. To generate this image, wild-type and VIM knockout A549 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween$®$ 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.
