Abstract
Here, we provide a step-by-step protocol to measure the activities of multiple transcription factors (TFs) in the same mouse brain. This protocol includes a procedure to construct a virus-based TF activity reporter, in utero transfection, and PCR-based measurement of TF activity to obtain the transcription factor activity profile (TFAP). Our protocol facilitates a systematic analysis of TF activity of the brain in vivo and will aid trans-omics understanding of the molecular mechanism underlying the brain functions.
For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Abe and Abe, (2022).
