This image was produced using ab8069, the same antibody clone, but in a different formulation,

Flow cytometry overlay histogram showing wild-type HAP1 (green line) and VIM knockout HAP1 cells stained with ab8069 (magenta line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 15 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS containing 10% normal goat serum to block non-specific protein-protein interaction followed by the antibody (ab8069) (1x10⁶ in 100 μl at 0.04 μg/ml) for 30 min at 22°C.

The secondary antibody Goat anti-mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488, pre-adsorbed) (ab150117) was used at 1/4000 for 30 min at 22°C.

Isotype control antibody was mouse IgG1κ (ab170190) used at the same concentration and conditions as the primary antibody (wild-type HAP1 - black line, VIM knockout HAP1 - grey line). Unlabelled sample was also used as a control (this line is not shown for the purpose of simplicity).

Acquisition of >5000 events were collected using a 50 mW Blue laser (488nm) and 525/40 bandpass filter.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Vimentin antibody [V9] - BSA and Azide free (AB223871)

IHC image of Vimentin staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded human normal kidney* performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND^® RX instrument. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20mins. The section was then incubated with ab8069, 0.5ug/ml, 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. The inset secondary-only control image is taken from an identical assay without primary antibody. 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. *Tissue obtained from the Human Research Tissue Bank, supported by the NIHR Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre. This image was produced using the same antibody clone, but in a different formulation, ab8069.

This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation (ab8069).

Lanes 1 - 4 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab8069 observed at 53 kDa. Red - loading control, ab181602 observed at 37 kDa.

ab8069 was shown to react with Vimentin in wild-type HeLa cells. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab255446 (knockout cell lysate ab263775) was used. Wild-type and Vimentin knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab8069 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [EPR16891] - Loading Control (ab181602) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1 μg/ml and 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye^® 800CW) preadsorbed (ab216772) and Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye^® 680RD) preadsorbed (ab216777) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.
