Vimentin is a widely expressed and highly conserved 54 kD protein that is constitutively expressed in mesenchymal cells, endothelial cells lining blood vessels, renal tubular cells, macrophages, neutrophils, fibroblasts, and leukocytes 1,2 . Vimentin is used as a marker of mesenchymal cells to distinguish them from epithelial cells 3 . Increased vimentin expression is frequently used as an EMT marker in cancer 4 . Autoantibodies to vimentin are commonly found in patients with autoimmune diseases such as Lupus 5 and rheumatoid arthritis 6 , and also found after transplantation 7 .\u003cbr\u003e\n25μg\u003cbr\u003e\nVerified Reactivity: Mouse\u003cbr\u003e\nAntibody Type: Monoclonal\u003cbr\u003e\nHost Species: Rat\u003cbr\u003e\nImmunogen: Partial mouse Vimentin (224-446 a.a.) recombinant protein expressed in E. coli.\u003cbr\u003e\nFormulation: Phosphate-buffered solution, pH 7.2, containing 0.09% sodium azide\u003cbr\u003e\nPreparation: The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography and conjugated with Alexa Fluor® 647 under optimal conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\nConcentration: 0.5 mg\/mL\u003cbr\u003e\nStorage \u0026amp; Handling: The antibody solution should be stored undiluted between 2°C and 8°C, and protected from prolonged exposure to light.

Ultimately a directly conjugated antibody’s utility in fluorescent imaging and IBEX may be specific to the sample and microscope being used in the experiment. Some antibody clone conjugates may perform better than others due to performance differences in non-specific binding, fluorophore brightness, and other biochemical properties unique to that conjugate.\u003cbr\u003e\nQ: Will antibodies my lab is already using for fluorescent or chromogenic IHC work in IBEX?\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Fundamentally, IBEX as a technique that works much in the same way as single antibody panels or single marker IF\/IHC. If you’re already successfully using an antibody clone on a sample of interest, it is likely that clone will have utility in IBEX. It is expected some optimization and testing of different antibody fluorophore conjugates will be required to find a suitable format; however, legacy microscopy techniques like chromogenic IHC on fixed or frozen tissue is an excellent place to start looking for useful antibodies.\u003cbr\u003e\nQ: Are other fluorophores compatible with IBEX?\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Over 18 fluorescent formats have been screened for use in IBEX, however, it is likely that other fluorophores are able to be rapidly bleached in IBEX. If a fluorophore format is already suitable for your imaging platform it can be tested for compatibility in IBEX.\u003cbr\u003e\nQ: The same antibody works in one tissue type but not another. What is happening?\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Differences in tissue properties may impact both the ability of an antibody to bind its target specifically and impact the ability of a specific fluorophore conjugate to overcome the background fluorescent signal in a given tissue. Secondary stains, as well as testing multiple fluorescent conjugates of the same clone, may help to troubleshoot challenging targets or tissues. Using a reference control tissue may also give confidence in the specificity of your staining.\u003cbr\u003e\nQ: How can I be sure the staining I’m seeing in my tissue is real?\u003cbr\u003e\nA: In general, best practices for validating an antibody in traditional chromogenic or fluorescent IHC are applicable to IBEX. Please reference the Nature Methods review on antibody based multiplexed imaging for resources on validating antibodies for IBEX.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Biolegend","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46866309578921,"sku":"699307","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/biolegend-699307","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
