Polysomal profiling.
Cytosolic lysates from control and tubacin- pretreated Raji cells were prepared in lysis buffer followed by two centrifugations. Cytosolic proteins were layered onto linear sucrose gradient and sedimented by a 2h centrifugation. The gradients were collected in 15 fractions and absorbance profiles were generated at 254 nm (A). Polysomal fractions were pooled for further RNA extraction and quantitative PCR (B).
