Application
Fluorescent image of U251 cells stained with LC3 (APG8A) (I31) antibody. U251 cells were treated with Chloroquine (50 μM,16h), then fixed with 4% PFA (20 min), permeabilized with Triton X-100 (0.2%, 30 min). Cells were then incubated with AP1801c LC3 (APG8A) (I31) 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 μg/ml, 5 min). LC3 immunoreactivity is localized to autophagic vacuoles in the cytoplasm of U251 cells.Application
Western blot analysis of LC3 (APG8a) (arrow) using purified Pab . 293 cell lysates (2 ug/lane) either nontransfected (Lane 1) or transiently transfected with the LC3 (APG8a) gene (Lane 2) (Origene Technologies).Application
Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded human hepatocarcinoma tissue reacted with Autophagy LC3 Antibody (APG8a) (I31) , which was peroxidase-conjugated to the secondary antibody, followed by DAB staining. This data demonstrates the use of this antibody for immunohistochemistry; clinical relevance has not been evaluated.| Product Name | LC3 Antibody (APG8A) (I31) |
