Polymerized horseradish peroxidase (pHRP)-labeled anti-Vimentin (R289) rabbit monoclonal antibody is intended for laboratory use to qualitatively identify by light microscopy the presence of Vimentin in sections of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) and/or cryostat tissues using immunohistochemistry (IHC) test methods.
ihcDirect® Vimentin is a 57-60 kDa intermediate filament protein found in a variety of mesenchymal cells, including melanocytes, lymphocytes, endothelial cells and fibroblasts. ihcDirect Vimentin is a rabbit monoclonal (R289) assay that has value in the differential diagnosis of undifferentiated neoplasms including melanoma, lymphoma and sarcoma as Vimentin is found in all types of sarcomas and lymphomas.
