Background

Vimentin is a type III intermediate filament (IF) protein, encoded by the VIM gene, that plays an essential role in cytoskeletal function and is largely expressed by mesenchymal cell such as endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and immune cells (1). Human vimentin monomer protein is 466 amino acids (aa) in length with a theoretical molecular weight of ~54 kDa (2). Vimentin protein contains a central rod domain composed of four alpha-helices which is flanked by an N-terminal head domain and C-terminal tail domain (1,3). Vimentin monomers dimerize to form more complex structures resulting in the assembly of eight tetramers, referred to as unit-length filaments, which then assemble into full-length intermediate filaments that are 10-12 nm wide (1,3,4).

Activated macrophages have been shown to secrete phosphorylated vimentin which can be stimulated by a variety of pathophysiological factors including oxidized low-density lipoproteins and TNF-alpha or inhibited by IL-10 (1). The vimentin protein is often expressed at the cell surface playing a role in cell-cell interactions, tissue damage and repair, immune response, and pathogen recognition (1). Vimentin functions in many cytoskeletal processes including cell migration, which is highlighted by its upregulation during epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) (4,5). Vimentin is a commonly used marker for EMT and is expressed by many tumor types (5). For example, high metastasis of oral squamous cell carcinomas also showed high vimentin positive expression in immunohistochemical staining analysis (5). A number of vimentin targeting compounds are in cancer-related clinical trials, however, given the multifunctional role of vimentin, the effect of inhibition on non-malignant cells needs to be thoroughly examined (5).

FAQs for Vimentin Antibody (NB300-223). (Showing 1 - 2 of 2 FAQs).

  1. Could you please tell me if this antibody is IgG or IgY? Also, have any of your secondary Cy5 antibodies been tested with it?
    • NB300-223 is a polyclonal antibody, and as such the isotype has not been determined. I recommend using an anti-chicken IgG secondary. We have not tested any Cy5-conjugated secondaries with this primary, but we do guarantee all of our products 100% for the species and applications listed on the data sheets.
  2. We have a customer who is looking for a chicken antibody for co-IF staining of mouse heart tissues. I found NB300-223. May I ask what species was used for the IF staining seen in the image on the data sheet? Do you know if the antibody has been specifically tested with mouse tissues in IF or IHC?
    • The image on our datasheet was obtained from rat neurons. This antibody doesn't look like it has been specifically tested on mouse tissues, but the rat and mouse proteins are 99.5% identical, and the human and mouse proteins are 98% identical so I see no reason why this antibody wouldn't work on mouse tissue.
