Vimentin is a class III intermediate filament protein (homopolymers) found in various non-epithelial cells including mesenchymal cells and fibroblasts. In many cells of mesenchymal origin, it is one of the most prominent phosphoproteins, especially during cell division when enhanced phosphorylation of vimentin corresponds with the reorganization of vimentin filaments.
Specificity
Reacts with human mesenchymal cells and derived sarcomas. Reacts with an epitope of the cytoskeletal protein vimentin but unlike other vimentin antibodies, does not react with human lymphoid cells or derived malignancies. Reactive with endothelium, muscle, fibroblasts, melanocytes, peripheral nerve, sertoli cells, kidney mesangial cells and tubules, osteoblasts and periosteum, non-hematopoietic tumors of mesenchymal origin (all sarcomas), meningiomas and melanomas.
Immunogen
Nuclei from adult human thymic biopsy specimens.
Application
Anti-Vimentin Antibody, clone LN-6 detects level of Vimentin & has been published & validated for use in IH(P).
Immunohistochemistry on B5 fixed, paraffin embedded tissue sections.

Mechanical stress, including blood pressure related factors, up-regulate expression of the pro-angiogenic extracellular matrix protein tenascin-C in skeletal muscle. We hypothesized that increased capillarization of skeletal muscle with the repeated augmentation in perfusion during endurance training is associated with blood

Expression of Nogo protein was investigated in the optic pathway of embryonic mice by using isoform-specific antibodies Bianca and 11C7, which recognize Nogo-A/B and Nogo-A, respectively. Our previous reports from using antibody N18 have shown that Nogo is localized on

Astronauts on board the International Space Station (ISS) are exposed to the damaging effects of microgravity and cosmic radiation. One of the most critical and sensitive districts of an organism is the eye, particularly the retina, and > 50% of astronauts develop
Laser therapy is used in physical medicine and rehabilitation to accelerate muscle recovery and in sports medicine to prevent damages produced by metabolic disturbances and inflammatory reactions after heavy exercise. The aim of this research was to get insight into
