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

Of the five classes of intermediate filaments found in vertebrate tissues, the cytokeratins are considered unique to epithelial tissues, while vimentin is expressed by endothelial and mesenchymal cells. In neither case is the precise function of the filament system known.

Carcinosarcomas are rare tumors, which are usually composed of carcinomatous areas close to or intermixed with sarcomatous components. Only 6 cases of carcinosarcoma of the colon have been reported in the English literature previously. We describe the 7th case, an

In this study we examined 198 sarcomas, 38 carcinomas, 13 'tumours with a spindle cell component' and 22 malignant melanomas with a commercial monoclonal vimentin antibody. All histopathological material was formalin fixed and paraffin embedded. The results show this antibody

Monitoring of the quality of antigen preservation and the uniformity of tissue fixation in paraffin-embedded, formaldehyde-fixed tissues is facilitated by the routine use of an antibody to an epitope of vimentin that is partially susceptible to formaldehyde fixation. Other diagnostically
