Conjugation	Unconjugated
Storage Condition	Store lyophilized (preferably in a desiccator) at -20°C and reconstituted (aliquote and freeze in liquid nitrogen) at -80°C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Thaw aliquots at 37°C. Thawed aliquots may be stored at 4°C up to 3 months.
Predicted Protein Size	54 kDa
Gene Name	vimentin
Database Link	Entrez Gene 7431 Human UniProt ID P08670
Background	Vimentin is a major subunit protein of intermediate filaments found in mesenchymal cells. Vimentin is expressed in many tumors/tumor cell lines after epithelial to mesenchymal transition.
Synonyms	VIM
Note	Protocol: Positive Control Provided: Cell lysate from Untreated HeLa cells. Lyophilized cell lysate from serum starved HeLa cells. Format: Lyophilized cell lysate from HeLa cells. Reconstitution: Restore by addition of 200 μl H20. After complete solubilization add 200 μl 2x SDS-PAGE sample buffer, mix and incubate at 90°C for 5 min. Storage: Aliquote and store frozen. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Application: The positive control cell lysate is recommended for immunoblot applications. 20 μl of positive control cell lysate correspond to ca. 80.000 cells. Use 20 μl / lane (mini gel) for HRPO/ECL detection of the target proteins. Please note: The lyophilized cell lysates contain SDS and are not recommended for applications with native proteins such as immunoprecipitation.
