Related Product Information for VIM elisa kit
Background: Vimentin is a type III intermediate filament (IF) protein that is expressed in mesenchymal cells. IF proteins are found in all metazoan cells as well as bacteria. All IF proteins are expressed in a highly developmentally-regulated fashion; vimentin is the major cytoskeletal component of mesenchymal cells. Because of this, vimentin is often used as a marker of mesenchymally-derived cells or cells undergoing an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) during both normal development and metastatic progression. It plays a significant role in supporting and anchoring the position of the organelles in the cytosol, and it has been used as a sarcoma tumor marker to identify mesenchyme.

Product Notes
The Human VIM vim (Catalog #AAA13494) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA13494 ELISA Kit recognizes Human VIM. AAA Biotech's Vimentin can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Quantitative sELISA (EIA). For quantitative detection of Vimentin in Human serum, plasma, urine, cell culture supernatant or tissue samples. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the VIM vim for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Vimentin, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
