{"product_id":"biolegend-699305","title":"Biolegend, 699305, Alexa Fluor® 488 anti-Vimentin Antibody, 25μg","description":"\u003cp\u003eVimentin are class-III intermediate filaments found in various non-epithelial cells, especially mesenchymal cells. 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® 488 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.
