2 Figure 1 The TRAP Technique
BAC transgenic (bacTRAP) mice express EGFP-tagged L10a ribosomal protein (green) in targeted brain cell populations. Target tissues are dissected from the brain and lysed, and the translating ribosomes attached to mRNAs (polysomes) are stabilized with cycloheximide. Polysomes are then affinity purified with EGFP antibody-coated magnetic beads, enabling enrichment of polysomes from the cells of interest expressing the fusion protein. Affinity-purified mRNA levels are compared to the unbound mRNAs by gene profiling to assess enrichment of genes specific to the cell type of interest.
