Gene expression is regulated by a group of proteins known as transcription factors (TFs). By binding to specific DNAcis-elements, each TF contributes a different functional role in gene expression. Panomics™ has developed a TranSignal™ TF–TF Interaction Array, which enables the user to determine TF complexes of interest with multiple other TFs. The process works by immunoprecipitatingcis-elements bound to native cell nuclear extract TFs using specific antibodies to the TFs, and hybridizing the correspondingcis-elements to a membrane array spotted with different consensus sequences. In this protocol, we adapt this technology to characterize and compare autoantibody reactivity to TFs between patients with and without disease. Using Panomics™ combination DNA/protein arrays with over 300 differentcis-elements spotted on the membrane, we can monitor the differences in autoimmune-targeted regulatory TFs, a process we termed immunoregulomics. This method allows for a qualitative analysis of the interactions with some quantifiable data. The findings can then be verified with the use of gel-shift experiments.
