Immunofluorescence (IF)

(Fluorescent image of U251 cells stained with LC3 (APG8B) (N-term) antibody. U251 cells were treated with Chloroquine (50 uM,16h), then fixed with 4% PFA (20 min), permeabilized with Triton X-100 (0.2%, 30 min). Cells were then incubated with AP1801i LC3 (Isoform B Specific) primary antibody (1:100, 2 h at room temperature). For secondary antibody, Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated donkey anti-rabbit antibody (green) was used (1:1000, 1h). Nuclei were counterstained with Hoechst 33342 (blue) (10 ug/ml, 5 min). LC3 immunoreactivity is localized to autophagic vacuoles in the cytoplasm of U251 cells.)

Western Blot (WB)

(Western blot analysis of anti-LC3 (APG8b) Pab in rat brain lysate. Both non-lipidated (arrow, I) and lipidated LC3 (APG8b) (arrow, II) were detected in membrane fraction (P) but pro-LC3 (APG8b) and non-lipidated LC3 ((APG8b) were detected in soluble fraction (S).)

Western Blot (WB)

(Western blot analysis of anti-LC3 (APG8b) Pab in 293 cell line lysates transiently transfected with the LC3 (APG8b) gene (2ug/lane). Human LC3 (APG8b) (arrow) was detected using the purified Pab.)

Immunohistochemistry (IHC)

(Wild-type (Cln3+/+) or homozygous Cln3aex7/8 (Cln3aex7/8/aex7/8) paraffin-embedded brain sections immunostained for the LC3 protein. Shown are the CA2/CA3 region of hippocampus (Hc) and cerebellum (Cb) from 10-month-old mice. Few immunopositive puncta are present in wild-type sections, whereas homozygous Cln3aex7/8 sections contain clusters of LC3-positive puncta around pyramidal neurons and Purkinje cells (P).

Macroautophagy is the major inducible pathway for the general turnover of cytoplasmic constituents in eukaryotic cells, it is also responsible for the degradation of active cytoplasmic enzymes and organelles during nutrient starvation. Macroautophagy involves the formation of double-membrane bound autophagosomes which enclose the cytoplasmic constituent targeted for degradation in a membrane bound structure, which then fuse with the lysosome (or vacuole) releasing a single-membrane bound autophagic bodies which are then degraded within the lysosome (or vacuole). MAP1A and MAP1B are microtubule-associated proteins which mediate the physical interactions between microtubules and components of the cytoskeleton. These proteins are involved in formation of autophagosomal vacuoles (autophagosomes). MAP1A and MAP1B each consist of a heavy chain subunit and multiple light chain subunits. MAP1LC3b is one of the light chain subunits and can associate with either MAP1A or MAP1B. The precursor molecule is cleaved by APG4B/ATG4B to form the cytosolic form, LC3-I. This is activated by APG7L/ATG7, transferred to ATG3 and conjugated to phospholipid to form the membrane-bound form, LC3-II.
