- Description
- MA3-745 detects human, rat, and mouse vimentin and has been successfully used in HELA-S3, HEK-293, rat brain, and rat kidney cells. MA3-745 has been successfully used in Western blot, immunohistochemical and immunofluorescence procedures. By Western blot, this antibody detects an ~57 kDa protein representing vimentin from HELA-S3 cells. Immunohistochemical staining of vimentin using MA3-745 can be performed. The MA3-745 immunogen was human rhabdosarcoma cell line JR1.

- Immunohistochemistry was performed on biopsies of deparaffinized Human melanoma tissue. To expose target proteins, heat induced antigen retrieval was performed using 10mM sodium citrate (pH6.0) buffer, microwaved for 8-15 minutes. Following antigen retrieval tissues were blocked in 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Tissues were then probed at a dilution of 1:1000 with a mouse monoclonal antibody recognizing Vimentin (Product # MA3-745) or without primary antibody (negative control) overnight at 4°C in a humidified chamber. Tissues were washed extensively with PBST and endogenous peroxidase activity was quenched with a peroxidase suppressor. Detection was performed using a biotin-conjugated secondary antibody and SA-HRP, followed by colorimetric detection using DAB. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and prepped for mounting.

- Figure 8 PKC-iota strongly associates with vimentin. Whole cell lysates (100 u g) of malignant cells (Sk-MeL-2 and MeWo) were IP separately for PKC-iota and vimentin using specific antibodies. First column of the western blot analysis represents the (+) control which contained 40 u g of MeWo whole cell extract, applied to ensure that bands appeared for the specific proteins in western blots. Western blots of PKC-iota IP showed an association with vimentin while no association was observed for E-cadherin, CD44 and NF-kappaB p65. Vimentin IP confirmed the association with PKC-iota the western blot while no association was observed with above mentioned proteins. Three experiments were performed in each trial. Densitometry for each band is indicated in the bar graph.

Double immunofluorescence analysis of myocyte enhancer factor 2C (MEF2C; purple) with the epithelial and tumoral marker, pan Cytokeratin (green), showed that MEF2C expressing cells did not significantly express pan Cytokeratin and were found in disorganized mammary ducts as well as in the surrounding tissue ( a ). Double immunofluorescence analysis of MEF2C (purple) with the mesenchymal marker, vimentin (yellow), showed that MEF2C expressing cells in mammary ducts also expressed vimentin ( b ).

- Figure 6. PKC-iota activates Vimentin and both aPKCs stimulate nuclei translocation of NF-kappaB in melanoma cells. The effects of on si RNA knockdown (20 nM of PKC-iota and PKC-zeta si RNA) on the expression of aPKCs, Vimentin activation and NF-kappaB translocation are shown in Fig. 6A . 40 ug of protein was loaded in to each well and beta-actin was used as the loading control in each Western blot. Fig. 6B is shown the association between PKC-iota and Par6. Whole cell lysates (100 ug) of malignant cells (Sk-Mel-2 and MeWo) were immunoprecipitated separately for PKC-iota and Par6 using specific antibodies. First two lanes in Western blot represents the (+) control which contained 40 ug of Sk-MEL-2 and MeWo whole cell extracts, respectively, applied to ensure that bands appeared for the specific proteins in Western blots. Western blots of PKC-iota immunoprecipitation showed an association with Par6. Reverse-immunoprecipitation of Par6 confirmed the association with PKC-iota while no association was observed with PKC-zeta. Fig. 6C represents the immunofluorescence staining of nuclei (blue panel), PKC-iota (green panel) and Vimentin (red panel) for melanoma cells (SK-MEL-2 and MeWo) treated with ICA-1T (1 muM) against controls. The images were captured at 200X magnification. Experiments ( N = 3) were performed in each trial.
