Abstract

Cell/tissue-specific gene expression are tightly regulated by various combinations of multiple transcription factors (TFs). Here, we present an oligonucleotide array-based transcription factor assay (OATFA), which allows the simultaneous assay of multiple active TFs. In this proof-of-principle work, both purified TFs and cell extracts were analyzed using OATFA and further antibody-based validation confirmed the chip data. This method could simplify the assay of multiple TFs and may facilitate high-throughput profiling of large numbers of TFs.
