Purified Mouse Anti-Mouse TFE3
Western blot analysis of TFE3. Lysate from WI-38 cells was probed with anti- TFE3 (clone G138-312) at concentrations of 1.0 (lane 1), 0.5 (lane 2), and 0.25 µg/ml (lane 3). TFE3 is identified as a band of 50 kDa.

Preparation And Storage

The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. Store undiluted at 4°C.

Recommended Assay Procedures

Applications include western blot analysis (0.25-1.0 µg/ml). WI-38 cells are suggested as a positive control. Other applications include gel shift (supershifts) and immunoprecipitation, which are not routinely tested by BD Biosciences Pharmingen. The antibody has been used to detect in vitro translated TFE3-L and TFE3-L, expressed as a recombinant protein in bacteria. In gel shift assays, using µE3 as a probe, this antibody supershifts the complex.

Product Notices

  1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
  2. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
  3. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.

G138-312

TFE3 is a ubiquitously expressed 50 kDa transcription factor containing both basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) and leucine zipper (ZIP) motifs. It was initially identified as a protein which bound to the µE3 site in the immunoglobulin heavy chain enhancer.  In addition, it binds to the MLTF/USF site in the adenovirus major late promoter. Upon binding as a dimer, it induces a minor groove-oriented bend in the DNA, similar to other HLH proteins such as TFEB, USF, myc, and max.  Binding results in transcriptional activation and is mediated through the basic region located just N-terminal to the HLH domain. Clone G138-312 recognizes TFE3. The antibody was raised against a bacterially expressed TFE3-L protein consisting of 327 amino acids encoded by nucleotides 361-2469 of the cloned cDNA.

Purified
Tissue culture supernatant is purified by either protein A/G or affinity purification methods. Both methods yield antibody in solution that is free of most other soluble proteins, lipids, etc. This format provides pure antibody that is suitable for a number of downstream applications including: secondary labeling for flow cytometry or microscopy, ELISA, Western blot, etc.
