CloneID: RV203
Antigen Long Description: The original antibody was generated by immunizing a BALB/c mouse with a cytoskeletal vimentin extract of calf lens.
Buffer Composition: PBS only.
Uniprot Accession No.: P08670
Specificity Statement: The antibody reacts exclusively with vimentin, which is expressed in mesenchymal cells and mesenchymal derived tumors e.g. lymphoma, sarcoma and melanoma.
Application Notes (Clone): The antibody detected vimentin on cytoskeletal extracts of bovine lens, BHK-21 and HeLa cells by western blot analysis. The antibody detected vimentin on connective tissue fibroblasts of hamster tongue, polygonal BHK-21/C13 cells and elongated BHK-21 cells by immunohistochemistry (Schaart et al., 1991; PMID: 2065865).
