Abstract
INTRODUCTIONIntermediate filaments (IF) are major cytoskeletal systems of vertebrate and many nonvertebrate cells whose expression is cell-type specific and developmentally regulated. This protocol describes a method for purifying one type of IF, vimentin, from bovine lens tissue. Purification of human vimentin expressed in Escherichia coli is also described. These methods are useful in the preparation of other IF protein subunits for microinjection studies as well.
