Application Notes

This antibody is specific to the C kinase phosphorylated vimentin Ser33 residue, as determined by ELISA, can detect the activity of endogenous CAM kinase II astrocytes, as detected by WB, and was used for ICC (IF) to detect C kinase phosphorylated vimentin Ser33 in type 1 astrocytes extracted from newborn rats' cerebral cortices (Ogawara et al., 1995; PMID: 7490282). This antibody was used for: in vivo vimentin kinase activity visualization of vimentin kinase activity in cell signaling or mitosis (Goto et al., 1998; PMID: 9565595), IHC-p and IF staining of human glioma cells (Fujita et al., 2004; PMID: 15597762), and as a positive control in a WB for vimentin ser55 phosphorylation (Yamaguchi et al., 2005; PMID: 16260496).

Short Description

This chimeric rabbit antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Mouse IgG1 format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
