General description

Anti-vimentin is of limited value as a diagnostic tool; however, when used in combination with other antibodies (in panels) it is useful for the subclassification 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. This antibody recognizes a 57 kD intermediate filament. 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.

The expression of cytokeratins and vimentin was investigated in Madin-Darby bovine epithelial cells (MDBK) in culture under conditions of varied cell spreading and cell-cell contact. When extensive cell-cell contact was achieved by seeding cells at high density in monolayer, or

Recent years have witnessed significant developments in the use of immunohistochemistry in diagnostic gynaecological pathology. This review details the most significant of these. In ovarian pathology, differential cytokeratin staining (CK7 and 20) assists in distinguishing between a primary ovarian adenocarcinoma

The use of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies for the immunophenotyping of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas in paraffin-embedded tissue has been limited by the fact that most antigens on lymphoid cells are denatured by histologic fixation, dehydration, and embedment. In this article the
