Product Name:

LC3 antibody

Catalog Number:

L8918

Clone Number:

This LC3 antibody works nicely for Western Blotting. It detects LC3 I and II. LC3-II bands are weak but quantifiable. For us this antibody also detects the marker. Unfortunately, several unspecific bands appear above 38 kDa. However, bands for LC3-I and LC3-II are specific as they are changed for samples in which autophagy was blocked or enhanced.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western Blot

Sample

Mouse microglia cells

Primary Incubation

1:300, overnight at 4°C

Blocking Agent

1% skim milk in TBS-T

Tertiary Incubation

N/A

Detection

SuperSignalWest Femto Chemiluminescent Substrate (Thermo, 34096), 1:1 for 5min

Results Summary

Under the above stated conditions, the antibody works nicely and specifically detects LC3-I and LC3-II, although unspecific bands above 38kDa are detected as well.

Summary

The Good

Detects LC3-I and LC3-II

The Bad

Unspecific bands above 38kDa

The Bottom Line

This antibody is useful for quantification of LC3-II/LC3-I ratios, as both are detected.
