Anti-VIM Antibody

This rabbit polyclonal antibody from Antibodies.com targets vimentin (VIM), a 57 kDa type III intermediate filament protein that maintains cytoskeletal integrity in cells of mesenchymal origin. Vimentin is broadly used as a marker for mesenchymal lineage cells, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells, and for tracking epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in development, wound healing, and tumor progression studies. The reagent is supplied as 200 µL of unconjugated IgG raised in rabbit, validated for Western blot, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence workflows. It cross-reacts with human, mouse, and rat samples, supporting comparative studies across these model systems. Researchers commonly apply this reagent to characterize sarcoma and carcinoma tissues, profile stromal compartments in tumor microenvironments, and validate iPSC-derived mesenchymal populations. Store the vial refrigerated between use cycles and protect from light to preserve antibody activity across repeated experiments.
