Background of VIM

VIM (vimentin) is also known as HEL113 or CTRCT30. This gene encodes a member of the intermediate filament family. Intermediate filamentents, along with microtubules and actin microfilaments, make up the cytoskeleton. The protein encoded by this gene is responsible for maintaining cell shape, integrity of the cytoplasm, and stabilizing cytoskeletal interactions. It is also involved in the immune response, and controls the transport of low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-derived cholesterol from a lysosome to the site of esterification. It functions as an organizer of a number of critical proteins involved in attachment, migration, and cell signaling. Mutations in this gene causes a dominant, pulverulent cataract.

Antibody Validation

Boster validates all antibodies on WB, IHC, ICC, Immunofluorescence, and ELISA with known positive control and negative samples to ensure specificity and high affinity, including thorough antibody incubations.

5 Customer Q&As for Anti-Vimentin Antibody Picoband®

Question

We purchased anti-Vimentin antibody for IHC on leukemic t-cell in a previous project. I am using human, and We intend to use the antibody for WB next. We are interested in examining leukemic t-cell as well as cervix in our next experiment. Could you please give me some suggestion on which antibody would work the best for WB?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2020-04-03

Answer

I looked at the website and datasheets of our anti-Vimentin antibody and I see that PB9359 has been validated on human in both IHC and WB. Thus PB9359 should work for your application. Our Boster satisfaction guarantee will cover this product for WB in human even if the specific tissue type has not been validated. We do have a comprehensive range of products for WB detection and you can check out our website bosterbio.com to find out more information about them.

Question

My team were well pleased with the WB result of your anti-Vimentin antibody. However we have seen positive staining in lymphoblast cytoplasm using this antibody. Is that expected? Could you tell me where is VIM supposed to be expressed?

Question

We are currently using anti-Vimentin antibody PB9359 for mouse tissue, and we are happy with the IHC results. The species of reactivity given in the datasheet says human, mouse, rat. Is it possible that the antibody can work on monkey tissues as well?

A. Roberts

Verified customer

Asked: 2017-10-12

Answer

The anti-Vimentin antibody (PB9359) has not been tested for cross reactivity specifically with monkey tissues, though there is a good chance of cross reactivity. We have an innovator award program that if you test this antibody and show it works in monkey you can get your next antibody for free. Please contact me if I can help you with anything.
