A mouse was immunized with vimentin isolated from cow lens. Antibody-producing cells were isolated after fusing the spleen cells of the mouse with murine myeloma cells by selecting the cells that produced antibodies capable of staining mesenchymal cells in thin sections of human colon.

Specification:
The antibody does stain all cells that contain vimentin. Only frozen section can be used. The antibody only stains the 57kDa vimentin band in immunoblots performed on a lysate of human lymphocytes.

      Immunohistochemistry (frozen sections) yes
      Immunohistochemistry (formalin embedded tissue) no
      Immunohistochemistry (antigen retieval) yes
      Flow cytometry yes
      Immunoblotting yes
      ELISA not tested
      RIA not tested
      Cross reactivity:
      Neurofilament not detected
      Glial fibrillar acidic protein not detected
      Desmin not detected
      Cytokeratin not detected
      Mouse vimentin not tested
      Rat vimentin not tested
      Rabbit vimentin not tested
      Goat vimentin not tested
