{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Vimentin is a 57 kDa structural protein belonging to the intermediate filament family. Intermediate filaments are an important structural feature of eukaryotic cells. Together with microtubules and actin microfilaments, they make up the cytoskeleton. Vimentin is expressed in a variety of mesenchymal cells, including melanocytes, lymph cells, endothelial cells and fibroblasts."}]}]}
Presentation
Five slides of Vimentin positive tissues, each mounted on Hydrophilic Plus Slides, provided in a plastic mailer.
Principle of Procedure
Control slides are Hydrophilic Plus Slides with formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue or cell sections mounted on them, serving as a tool to qualitatively verify the performance of immunohistochemical staining
