Product Information
anti-vimentin VHH/ Nanobody conjugated to the fluorophore ATTO488 for IF, & microscopy
| Description | Vimentin-Label specifically binds to the Vimentin intermediate filament protein. Due to its small size, the Vimentin-Labelenables higher image quality in epifluorescence, confocal, and super-resolution microscopy:
• Specific probe for direct immunostaining of Vimentin filaments • Higher image resolution • Less than 4 nm epitope-label displacement minimizes linkage error • Superior accessibility and labeling of epitopes in crowded cellular/organelle environments • Improved target binding due to an avidity effect from the bivalent form of Vimentin-Label |
| Applications | Monoclonal |
| Host | Alpaca |
| Specificity/Target | Vimentin-Label specifically binds to the vimentin intermediate filament protein. Validated on canine MDCK cells, rodent BHK cells and on human A549 cells upon stimulation with TGFβ. |
