Immunogen | The original antibody was generated by immunizing a BALB/c mouse with a cytoskeletal vimentin extract of calf lens. |
Application Notes | 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). |
