Background of TFRC
Transferrin receptor protein 1 (TfR1), also known as Cluster of Differentiation 71 (CD71), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TFRC gene. It is mapped to 3q29. TFRC is a transmembrane glycoprotein composed of two disulfide-linked monomers joined by two disulfide bonds. Expression of human TFR1 in hamster cell lines markedly enhanced the infection of viruses pseudotyped with the glycoprotein of Machupo, Guanarito, and Junin viruses. TFR1 is a cellular receptor for New World hemorrhagic fever arenaviruses. It is required for iron delivery from transferrin to cells.
Antibody Validation

Western blot analysis of TFRC using anti-TFRC antibody (PB9233).
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 30 ug of sample under reducing conditions.
Lane 1: human Hela whole cell lysates,
Lane 2: human K562 whole cell lysates,
Lane 3: human HT1080 whole cell lysates,
Lane 4: rat thymus tissue lysates,
Lane 5: rat RAW264.7 whole cell lysates,
Lane 6: mouse SP2/0 whole cell lysates.
After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane at 150 mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% non-fat milk/TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-TFRC antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (Catalog # PB9233) 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-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:5000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit (Catalog # EK1002) with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for TFRC at approximately 95 kDa. The expected band size for TFRC is at 85 kDa.

1 Reviews For Anti-Transferrin Receptor/TFRC Antibody Picoband®
The CD71 antibody was used to detect protein expression in mouse uterine tissue. The bands were clear with no nonspecific signals. After recovery and reuse, the antibody still performed well.

| Application | Western Blot |
| Sample | mouse uterine tissue |
| Sample Processing Description | Mouse uterine tissues were minced and further disrupted by sonication, then lysed on ice for 1 hour using RIPA buffer. After centrifugation, the supernatant was collected and quantified using the BCA method. The appropriate amount of loading buffer was added, and the samples were boiled in a water bath to denature the proteins. Finally, 15 μL of each protein sample was loaded into each lane of the SDS-PAGE gel. |

Question
We are currently using anti-Transferrin Receptor/TFRC antibody PB9233 for human tissue, and we are satisfied with the WB results. The species of reactivity given in the datasheet says human. Is it likely that the antibody can work on horse tissues as well?

Asked: 2014-09-11
Answer
The anti-Transferrin Receptor/TFRC antibody (PB9233) has not been tested for cross reactivity specifically with horse 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 horse you can get your next antibody for free. Please contact me if I can help you with anything.
