This monoclonal antibody reacts with a 58kDa protein identified as Vimentin. It shows no cross-reaction with other closely related intermediate filament proteins (IFP however, when used in panels with other antibodies, it is useful for the sub-classification of a given tumor. Expression of Vimentin, when used in conjunction with anti-keratin, is helpful when distinguishing melanomas from undifferentiated carcinomas and large cell lymphomas. All melanomas and Schwannomas react strongly with anti-Vimentin. It labels a variety of mesenchymal cells, including melanocytes, lymphocytes, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts. Non-reactivity of anti-Vimentin is often considered more useful than its positive reactivity, since there are a few tumors that do not contain Vimentin, e.g. hepatoma and seminoma. Anti-Vimentin is also useful as a tissue process control reagent. |
