| Quantity | 100 µg |
|---|---|
| Storage | Lyophilized at 2-8°C; reconstituted at -20°C (avoid freeze/thaw cycles) |
| Intended use | Research use only |
| Source | Bovine lens |
| Molecular weight | 57 kDa |
| Isoeletric point | pI 5.3 |
| Purity | > 98% (determined by SDS gelelectrophoresis) |
| Reconstitution | Reconstitute with 80 µl distilled water (final volume 100 µl). Final solution: 10 mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.5, 2 mM DTT, 6 M urea, 10 mM methylammonium chloride, 1 mM EDTA; Protein concentration: 1 mg/ml (according to Bradford) |
| Application | Protein standard in 1D and 2D SDS gelelectrophoresis, immunoassays and immunization |
Protein standard for immunoblotting, immunization and immunoassay.
Reconstitution to filaments: after vimentin is dissolved in 6 M urea buffer (see above), protofilaments and filament complexes are obtained by dialyzing the resulting polypeptide solution stepwise to a concentration of 4 M urea and then to low salt condition (50 mM NaCl, 2 mM dithiothreitol, 10 mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.4).
For immunization purposes, the solution can be further dialyzed against PBS (phosphate buffered saline, e.g. Dulbecco's PBS).
