This antibody is useful for studies of the role of vinculin in platelet activation. Vinculin (Ab-1) exhibits membrane and cytoplasmic staining when used in immunohistochemistry. For staining of formalin-fixed paraffin sections, boil in 10 mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 min, followed by cooling at room temperature for 20 min. Antibody should be titrated for optimal results in individual systems.
