This data was developed using ab16700, the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation.

This image was generated using a previous batch manufactured using the hybridoma production method.

ab16700 staining Vimentin in human corneal limbal epithelial cells by ICC/IF (Immunocytochemistry/immunofluorescence). Cells were fixed with paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.3% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/200 in PBS + 10% normal goat serum) for 18 hours at 4°C. An Alexa Fluor®488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG polyclonal (1/500) was used as the secondary antibody.

False colour image of Western blot : Anti-Vimentin antibody [SP20] staining at 1/120 dilution shown in green; Mouse anti-CANX [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 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.

Target data

Vimentins are class-III intermediate filaments found in various non-epithelial cells, especially mesenchymal cells. Vimentin is attached to the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria, either laterally or terminally. Plays a role in cell directional movement, orientation, cell sheet organization and Golgi complex polarization at the cell migration front (By similarity). Protects SCRIB from proteasomal degradation and facilitates its localization to intermediate filaments in a cell contact-mediated manner (By similarity). May promote axon outgrowth and motor fiber repair via DSP-mediated recruitment to outgrowth tips (By similarity).. Involved with LARP6 in the stabilization of type I collagen mRNAs for CO1A1 and CO1A2.
