| Host organism | Mouse (Mus musculus) |
| Species reactivity | Cat, Chicken, Cow, Does not react with Mouse (Mus musculus) and Rat (Rattus norvegicus), Dog, Due to limited knowledge and inability for testing each and every species, Goat, Pig, the reactivity of the antibody may extend to other species which are not listed hereby, Human (Homo sapiens) |
| Specificity and cross-reactivity | All melanomas and Schwannomas react strongly with anti-vimentin, Anti-vimentin alone is of limited value as a diagnostic tool, Anti-vimentin is also useful as a tissue process control reagent, Expression of vimentin, It labels a variety of mesenchymal cells, It shows no cross-reaction with other closely related intermediate filament proteins (IFP's) such as desmin, Non-reactivity of anti-vimentin is often considered more useful than its positive reactivity, Since it is not possible to test each and every species our knowledge on the corss reactivity of the antibodies is limited, This particular antibody might cross react with speacies outside of the listed ones, and fibroblasts, and glial fibrillary acid protein, e, endothelial cells, hepatoma and seminoma, however, including melanocytes, is helpful when distinguishing melanomas from undifferentiated carcinomas and large cell lymphomas, it is useful for the sub-classification of a given tumor, keratin, lymphocytes, neurofilament, since there are a few tumors that do not contain vimentin, when used in conjunction with anti-keratin, when used in panels with other antibodies, This MAb reacts with a 58kDa protein identified as vimentin, g |
