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 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.

Wild-type (Cln3+/+) or homozygous Cln3Äex7/8 (Cln3Äex7/8/Äex7/8) 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 Cln3Äex7/8 sections contain clusters of LC3-positive puncta around pyramidal neurons and Purkinje cells (P).
