Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Alexa Fluor® 488 Anti-MAP1LC3A antibody [EP1983Y] - Autophagosome Marker (AB185036)

ab185036 staining MAP1LC3A in HeLa cells. The cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10min), permeabilized in 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked in 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1%PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated with ab185036 at a working dilution of 1 in 100 (shown in green) and ab7291 (Mouse monoclonal [DM1A] to alpha Tubulin) at 1μg/ml overnight at +4°C, followed by a further incubation at room temperature for 1h with an Alexa Fluor^® 594 Goat anti-Mouse secondary (ab150120) at 2μg/ml (shown in red). Nuclear DNA was labelled in blue with DAPI.

Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).

Overlay histogram showing HeLa cells stained with ab185036 (red line). The cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab185036, 1/50 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit IgG (monoclonal) Alexa Fluor® 488 used at the same concentration and conditions as the primary antibody. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control.

Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 20mW Argon ion laser (488nm) and 525/30 bandpass filter.

This antibody gave a positive signal in HeLa fixed with 80% methanol (5 min)/permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min used under the same conditions.
