Vimentin Monoclonal Antibody

Catalog Number:

MA5-11883

We study multiple pathological processes in ocular diseases. The specific goal of this experiment was to evaluate vimentin protein expression in cell lysate samples . This antibody worked for western blotting as a clear single band for VIM was observed.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western Blot

Sample

Mouse fibroblast lysate

Primary Incubation

1:1000 at 4 degrees Celsius for over night

Blocking Agent

5% normal donkey serum

Secondary Incubation

Anti-mouse secondary antibody at 1:10000 for 1hr at room temp

Tertiary Incubation

N/A

Detection

ECL reagent

Results Summary

A single, very clean band from mouse fibroblast cell lysate samples was observed. This antibody had high specificity and is easy to optimise. I would definitely buy again. Don't need to use too much as it has high sensitivity.
