Description: Supplied by DSHB, cat#14h7. Contributed to DSHB by Klymkowsky Lab. While this antibody has been reported to be Xenopus-specific, Arciniegas et al. [PMID: 10603448] and Gomes et al. [PMID: 22075471] have reported using it succesfully on chicken embryos and mouse cultured ectoplacental cones, respectively.

Type polypeptide
Post Translational Modifications None
Source Organism frog
Description Cell insoluble residues derived from the Xenopus kidney epithelial cell line A6 (mainly containing intermediate filaments). This antibody appears to be Xenopus-specific and doesn't cross react with mouse. It recognizes the 55 and 57 kDa vimentin proteins encoded by the genes vim1 and vim4, respectively. 14h7 disrupts vimentin organization when injected into Xenopus A6 cells. 14H7 undergoes frequent class switching from IgG1 to IgG2a.
