Species Reactivity:

Human

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Glu80 of human LEF1 protein.

Background

LEF1 and TCF are members of the high mobility group (HMG) DNA-binding protein family of transcription factors that consists of the following: Lymphoid Enhancer Factor 1 (LEF1), T Cell Factor 1 (TCF1/TCF7), TCF3/TCF7L1, and TCF4/TCF7L2 (1). LEF1 and TCF1/TCF7 were originally identified as important factors that regulate early lymphoid development (2) and act downstream in Wnt signaling. LEF1 and TCF bind to Wnt response elements to provide docking sites for β-catenin, which translocates to the nucleus to promote the transcription of target genes upon activation of Wnt signaling (3). LEF1 and TCF are dynamically expressed during development and aberrant activation of the Wnt signaling pathway is involved in many types of cancers, including colon cancer (4,5).

Species Reactivity

Species reactivity is determined by testing in at least one approved application (e.g., western blot).

Western Blot Buffer

IMPORTANT: For western blots, incubate membrane with diluted primary antibody in 5% w/v BSA, 1X TBS, 0.1% Tween® 20 at 4°C with gentle shaking, overnight.

Flow cytometric analysis of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells using LEF1 (D6J2W) Rabbit mAb (right) compared to concentration-matched Rabbit (DA1E) mAb IgG XP® Isotype Control #3900 (left), co-stained with CD3 (UCHT1) Mouse mAb (APC Conjugate) #19881. Anti-rabbit IgG (H+L), F(ab')2 Fragment (Alexa Fluor® 488 Conjugate) #4412 was used as a secondary antibody.

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Image 1: LEF1 (D6J2W) Rabbit mAb Expand Image
Chromatin immunoprecipitations were performed with cross-linked chromatin from HCT-116 cells and LEF1 (D6J2W) Rabbit mAb, using SimpleChIP® Enzymatic Chromatin IP Kit (Magnetic Beads) #9005. DNA Libraries were prepared using SimpleChIP® ChIP-seq DNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina® #56795. The figure shows binding across AXIN2, a known target gene of LEF1 (see additional figure containing ChIP-qPCR data). For additional ChIP-seq tracks, please download the product data sheet.

Chromatin immunoprecipitations were performed with cross-linked chromatin from HCT-116 cells and LEF1 (D6J2W) Rabbit mAb, using SimpleChIP® Enzymatic Chromatin IP Kit (Magnetic Beads) #9005. DNA Libraries were prepared using SimpleChIP® ChIP-seq DNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina® #56795. The figure shows binding across chromosome 17 (upper), including AXIN2 (lower), a known target gene of LEF1 (see additional figure containing ChIP-qPCR data).
Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Image 3: LEF1 (D6J2W) Rabbit mAb Expand Image
Chromatin immunoprecipitations were performed with cross-linked chromatin from HCT-116 cells and either LEF1 (D6J2W) Rabbit mAb or Normal Rabbit IgG #2729 using SimpleChIP® Enzymatic Chromatin IP Kit (Magnetic Beads) #9003. The enriched DNA was quantified by real-time PCR using SimpleChIP® Human Axin2 Intron 1 Primers #8973 and SimpleChIP® Human α Satellite Repeat Primers #4486. The amount of immunoprecipitated DNA in each sample is represented as signal relative to the total amount of input chromatin, which is equivalent to one.
