Anti-Vimentin抗体[RV202] - Cytoskeleton Marker (ab8978)

ab8978 staining Vimentin in wild-type HAP1 cells (top panel) and VIM knockout HAP1 cells (bottom panel). The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated with ab8978 at 1μg/ml and ab202272 (Rabbit monoclonal [EP1332Y] to alpha Tubulin (Alexa Fluor® 594)) at 1/250 dilution overnight at +4°C, followed by a further incubation at room temperature for 1h with ab150117 (Goat secondary antibody to Mouse IgG (Alexa Fluor® 488)) at 2 μg/ml (shown in green). Nuclear DNA was labelled in blue with DAPI.

Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).

Overlay histogram showing HeLa cells stained with ab8978 (red line). The cells were fixed with methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab8978, 1/100 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG1 [ICIGG1] (ab91353, 2µg/1x10⁶ cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed. This anti-Vimentin antibody gave a positive signal in HeLa cells fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min)/permeabilized in 0.1% PBS-Triton used under the same conditions.

Silencing of Lamin A/C in unmethylated neuroblastoma cells induces changes in different cytoskeletal components

Immunofluorescence staining showing changes in SK-N-SH-lamin-A/C-shRNA compared with SK-N-SH-scramble-shRNA in (A) β-actin filaments, (B) F-actin filaments. (C) Vimentin filaments, and (D) α-tubulin. Lamin A/C is shown in green; β-actin, F-actin, vimentin, and α-tubulin are shown in red.DNA is stained in blue (DAPI). Scale bar, 10μM.

Vimentin is detected using ab8978 at 1/100 dilution. Neuroblastoma cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized using 0.5% Triton X-100.
