Scientific Data Images for LC3B Antibody (1251A) - Azide and BSA Free
Western Blot: LC3B Antibody (1251A) - Azide and BSA Free [NBP2-80829] - Western Blot image of monoclonal anti-LC3B Antibody (Clone 1251D) [Catalog # NBP2-46892]. HeLa and Neuro2A cells were treated with or without 50 uM chloroquine for 24 hours as indicated. Whole cell protein was then separated on a 4-15% gel by SDS-PAGE, transferred to 0.2 um PVDF membrane for 30 min and blocked in 5% non-fat milk in TBST (Tris-buffered saline, 0.1% Tween 20). The membrane was probed with 2 ug/ml anti-LC3B Antibody in 1% milk, and detected with an anti-rabbit HRP secondary antibody using chemiluminescence. Note the accumulation of LC3B II upon chloroquine treatment. Bands for LC3 were detected at a molecular weight of approximately 15 kDa in treated HeLA cells, and both treated and untreated Neuro2A cells. Image from the standard format of this antibody.
Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: LC3B Antibody (1251A) - Azide and BSA Free [NBP2-80829] - HeLa cells were treated with Chlorquine for 24 hours prior to fixation, permeabilization and incubation with anti- [Catalog # NBP2-46892] and anti tubulin (NB100-690) antibodies. Image enlargement shows the accumulation of LC3 (green) on autophagosomes in response to chloroquine treatment. Tubulin staining is shown in red and DNA is counterstained with DAPI (blue).

Background: LC3B
Autophagic flux is supported by autophagy-related proteins (Atgs) initially identified in yeast (6,7). The core autophagy machinery is comprised of 17 Atg proteins that play specific roles in autophagosome formation. Among these Atg proteins, Atg8 is not only involved in autophagosome formation but also functions in cargo selection. In mammals, several Atg8 homologues have been identified including microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 alpha, beta and gamma - LC3A, LC3B, and LC3C (8) respectively, as well as GABA type A receptor-associated protein (GABARAP), GABARAP-Like1, and GABARAP-Like2 (9). LC3 (predicted molecular weight 14kD) is ubiquitously expressed and undergoes posttranslational processing after synthesis. First, the cysteine protease Atg4 cleaves a carboxy terminal sequence to generate the cytosolic form LC3-I. Next, E1-like (Atg7) and E2-like (Atg3) enzymes conjugate phosphatidylethanolamine to the newly exposed carboxyterminal glycine, generating LC3-II. Finally, the Atg12-Atg5-Atg16L1 complex participates in LC3 lipidation and autophagosome formation (10). LC3B-I to LC3B-II conversion correlates with autophagosome number and is considered the best marker to monitor autophagy.
