Autophagy assay cell type - A549

As autophagy is a multi-step process which includes not just the formation of autophagosomes, but most importantly, flux through the entire system, including the degradation upon fusion with lysosomes, which makes it quite challenging for detection. There are several methods for detection in mammalian cells, including immunoblotting analysis of LC3 and p62 and detection of autophagosome formation/maturation by fluorescence microscopy, Currently, there is no single “gold standard” for determining the autophagic activity that is applicable in every experimental context, hence it is recommended to go for the combined use of multiple methods to accurately assess the autophagic activity in any given biological setting.

APG5 Antibody (C-1)

Santa Cruz Biotechnology

Protocol tips
Immunoprecipitation (IP) and immunoblotting (IB) were performed as previously described [42]. In some cases, membranes were stripped and re-probed with specific antibodies. To quantify changes, the densitometries of protein bands were determined with a calibrated GS-670 densitometer. For endogenous interactions, HeLa cells grown in 10 cm2 dishes were harvested and the cell lysates were then subjected to IP. All IP and IB experiments were performed as three independent experiments.
