With this protocol, transcripts that were initiated from specific genes by RNA polymerases prior to permeabilization can be measured. Instead of a nuclear extract, permeabilized cells are used. Includes information on: Permeabilization of Cells; In vitro Transcription Reaction (Run-off); Isolation of RNA; Preparation of Slot Blot Membrane for Hybridization; Hybridization of Nitrocellulose Membrane; TCA Precipitation to Determine Incorporation of [32P] GTP into Nucleic Acid
