Regulated transcription requires specific interactions between activators bound to promoter sequences and other components of the RNA polymerase transcriptional machinery. These factors (TATA-binding protein Associated Factors [TAFs]) serve to mediate transcriptional activations
UCB scientists have developed hybridomas producing monoclonal antibodies to:
Drosophila TAFS 250, 150, 110, 80,60,40, 30alpha, 30beta
and Human TAFS 250,130,100
