Product Information

Product Usage Information

For optimal ChIP results, use 10 μl of antibody and 10 μg of chromatin (approximately 4 x 106 cells) per IP. This antibody has been validated using SimpleChIP® Enzymatic Chromatin IP Kits.

The CUT&RUN dilution was determined using CUT&RUN Assay Kit #86652.
Application Dilution
Western Blotting 1:1000
Immunofluorescence (Frozen) 1:400 - 1:800
Immunofluorescence (Immunocytochemistry) 1:1600 - 1:3200
Flow Cytometry (Fixed/Permeabilized) 1:100 - 1:400
Chromatin IP 1:50

Storage

Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/mL BSA, 50% glycerol, and less than 0.02% sodium azide. Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.

Specificity / Sensitivity

TCF1/TCF7 (E6O1K) Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of total TCF1/TCF7 proteins. This antibody should detect all TCF1/TCF7 isoforms, including those lacking the amino-terminal β-catenin binding domain. This antibody does not cross-react with LEF1, TCF3/TCF7L1, or TCF4/TCF7L2 protein.

Species Reactivity:

Human, Mouse, Rat

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with recombinant protein specific to mouse TCF1/TCF7 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).

TCF1/TCF7 has several isoforms due to alternative splicing and transcription from an alternative promoter. The isoforms generated by the alternative promoter do not contain the amino-terminal β-catenin binding domain and therefore may function in a dominant negative manner (6). TCF1/TCF7 displays dynamic expression both in the total amount and the type of isoforms expressed in T cells during development and differentiation (7).

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 nonfat dry milk, 1X TBS, 0.1% Tween® 20 at 4°C with gentle shaking, overnight.
