Description
The Vimentin-Chromobody visualizes endogenous Vimentin in real time. • Easily transfect your cells with the Vimentin-Chromobody plasmid • Use Vimentin-Chromobody as a marker of vimentin cytoskeleton • Monitor dynamics of vimentin intermediate filaments in live cells • Vimentin-Chromobody does not affect cell viability • The binding of Vimentin-Chromobody does not influence cell viability or cell motility and thus offers you the unique possibility to non-invasively monitor vimentin cytoskeleton in your cells.
