Background of mtTFA
TFAM (Transcription factor A, mitochondrial), also known as TCF6 or TCF6L2, is a 162-amino acid protein that activates transcription of each mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) strand by binding to an element of approximately 30 nucleotides present in both the light-strand and the heavy-strand promoters. By Southern blot analysis of restriction enzyme digests of human/Chinese hamster somatic cell hybrid lines, Milatovich et al. (1992) mapped TFAM sequences, which they called MTTF1, to 3 different chromosomes: chromosomes 10, 7p, and 11q. By PCR-based screening of a somatic cell hybrid panel and by fluorescence in situ hybridization, Scott (2007) stated that the sequences mapped to chromosomes 7p (TCF6L1) and 11q (MTTF1, or TCF6L3) are pseudogenes. Larsson et al. (1997) mapped the mouse mitochondrial transcription factor A gene (Tfam) to the central part of mouse chromosome 10. This region exhibits syntenic homology with human 10q21. Mitochondrial transcription factor A is a key activator of mitochondrial transcription in mammals. It also has a role in mitochondrial DNA replication, since transcription generates an RNA primer necessary for initiation of mtDNA replication.

Figure 1. Western blot analysis of TFAM using anti ZO-1 antibody (M01119-1).
Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS-PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel) / 90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours. The sample well of each lane was loaded with 50ug of sample under reducing conditions.

Lane 2: human K562 whole cell lysates,
Lane 3: human Caco-2 whole cell lysates,
Lane 4: human Raji whole cell lysates,
Lane 5: human A549 whole cell lysates,
After Electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a Nitrocellulose membrane at 150mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% Non-fat Milk/ TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with mouse anti-TFAM antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (Catalog # M01119-1) at 0.5 μg/mL overnight at 4°C, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-mouse IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:10000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit (Catalog # EK1001) with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for TFAM at approximately 40KD. The expected band size for TFAM is at 40KD.

Figure 2. IHC analysis of TFAM using anti-TFAM antibody (M01119-1).
TFAM was detected in paraffin-embedded section of human rectum cancer tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in EDTA buffer (pH8.0, epitope retrieval solution). The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 1μg/ml mouse anti-TFAM Antibody (M01119-1) overnight at 4°C. Biotinylated goat anti-mouse IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The tissue section was developed using Strepavidin-Biotin-Complex (SABC) (Catalog # SA1021) with DAB as the chromogen.

Overlay histogram showing CACO-2 cells stained with M01119-1 (Blue line). To facilitate intracellular staining, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with permeabilization buffer. The cells were blocked with 10% normal goat serum. And then incubated with mouse anti-FAM Antibody (M01119-1, 1μg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 20°C. DyLight®488 conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (BA1126, 5-10μg/1x106 cells) was used as secondary antibody for 30 minutes at 20°C. Isotype control antibody (Green line) was mouse IgG (1μg/1x106) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample without incubation with primary antibody and secondary antibody (Red line) was used as a blank control.

Question
We have been able to see staining in human lymphocyte. What should we do? Is anti-mtTFA antibody (monoclonal, 4D9) supposed to stain lymphocyte positively?

Asked: 2019-11-15
Answer
From what I have seen in literature lymphocyte does express TFAM. From what I have seen in Uniprot.org, TFAM is expressed in female gonad, hepatoma, tongue, lymphocyte, cervix carcinoma, cervix carcinoma erythroleukemia, among other tissues. Regarding which tissues have TFAM expression, here are a few articles citing expression in various tissues:
Cervix carcinoma, Pubmed ID: 18669648
Cervix carcinoma, and Erythroleukemia, Pubmed ID: 23186163
Lymphocyte, Pubmed ID: 1610904
Tongue, Pubmed ID: 14702039

Question
Our lab used your anti-mtTFA antibody (monoclonal, 4D9) for Flow Cytometry on cervix carcinoma a few years ago. I am using human, and We intend to use the antibody for WB next. Our lab want to know about examining cervix carcinoma as well as female gonad in our next experiment. Could you please give me some suggestion on which antibody would work the best for WB?

I looked at the website and datasheets of our anti-mtTFA antibody (monoclonal, 4D9) and I see that M01119-1 has been validated on human in both Flow Cytometry and WB. Thus M01119-1 should work for your application. Our Boster satisfaction guarantee will cover this product for WB in human even if the specific tissue type has not been validated. We do have a comprehensive range of products for WB detection and you can check out our website bosterbio.com to find out more information about them.

Question
We are currently using anti-mtTFA antibody (monoclonal, 4D9) M01119-1 for human tissue, and we are satisfied with the Flow Cytometry results. The species of reactivity given in the datasheet says human. Is it possible that the antibody can work on dog tissues as well?

Answer
The anti-mtTFA antibody (monoclonal, 4D9) (M01119-1) has not been tested for cross reactivity specifically with dog tissues, though there is a good chance of cross reactivity. We have an innovator award program that if you test this antibody and show it works in dog you can get your next antibody for free. Please contact me if I can help you with anything.
