Vimentin is a structural protein that in humans is encoded by the VIM gene. Vimentin is a type III intermediate filament (IF) protein that is expressed in mesenchymal cells. IF proteins are found in all animal cells as well as bacteria. Intermediate filaments, along with tubulin-based microtubules and actin-based microfilaments, comprises the cytoskeleton. All IF proteins are expressed in a highly developmentally-regulated fashion; vimentin is the major cytoskeletal component of mesenchymal cells. Because of this, vimentin is often used as a marker of mesenchymally-derived cells or cells undergoing an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) during both normal development and metastatic progression.
ICC shows positive staining in HeLa cells. Anti-Vimentin (Alexa Fluor® 647 Conjugate) antibody was used at 1/250 dilution (magenta) and incubated overnight at 4°C. The cells were fixed with 4% PFA and permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (Blue).
IF shows positive staining in paraffin-embedded human colon cancer. Anti-Vimentin (Alexa Fluor® 647 Conjugate) antibody was used at 1/250 dilution (magenta) and incubated overnight at 4°C. Counterstained with DAPI (Blue). Heat mediated antigen retrieval with EDTA buffer pH9.0 was performed before commencing with IF staining protocol.
IF shows positive staining in paraffin-embedded rat stomach. Anti-Vimentin (Alexa Fluor® 647 Conjugate) antibody was used at 1/250 dilution (magenta) and incubated overnight at 4°C. Counterstained with DAPI (Blue). Heat mediated antigen retrieval with EDTA buffer pH9.0 was performed before commencing with IF staining protocol.
IF shows positive staining in paraffin-embedded mouse stomach. Anti-Vimentin (Alexa Fluor® 647 Conjugate) antibody was used at 1/250 dilution (magenta) and incubated overnight at 4°C. Counterstained with DAPI (Blue). Heat mediated antigen retrieval with EDTA buffer pH9.0 was performed before commencing with IF staining protocol.
