Descripción

Descripción general

Autophagy, a degradative pathway that provides recycled nutrients to cells under stress, plays both protective and deleterious roles in many diseases, including cancer, neurodegeneration, and infections. Members of the LC3 family play a key role in the maturation of the autophagosome, the central organelle of autophagy. LC3 precursors, diffusely distributed in the cytosol, are proteolytically processed to form LC3-I. Upon initiation of autophagy, the C-terminal glycine is modified by addition of a phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) to form LC3-II, which translocates rapidly to nascent autophagosomes in a punctate distribution. DNA constructs encoding fluorescent proteins fused to LC3 are widely employed for introduction into cells for monitoring autophagosome formation by fluorescence microscopy. <br />EMD Millipore′s LentiBrite GFP-LC3 lentiviral particles provide bright fluorescence and precise localization to enable live cell analysis of autophagy in difficult-to-transfect cell types. The <br /><br />LentiBrite GFP-LC3-II Enrichment Kit (Flow Cytometry) combines our GFP-LC3 lentiviral particles with a selective permeabilization procedure for GFP-LC3 transduced cells that allows release of cytosolic LC3-I and retention of autophagosome-bound LC3-II. This procedure allows detection of autophagosome density by flow cytometry.

EMD Millipore′s LentiBrite GFP-LC3 lentiviral particles provide bright fluorescence and precise localization to enable live cell analysis of autophagy in difficult-to-transfect cell types. The LentiBrite GFP-LC3-II Enrichment Kit (Flow Cytometry) combines our GFP-LC3 lentiviral particles with a selective permeabilization procedure for GFP-LC3 transduced cells that allows release of cytosolic LC3-I and retention of autophagosome-bound LC3-II. This procedure allows detection of autophagosome density by flow cytometry.

For optimal fluorescent analysis, it is recommended to analyze the target expression level within 24-48 hrs after transfection/infection for optimal live cell analysis, as fluorescent intensity may dim over time, especially in difficult-to-transfect cell lines. Infected cells may be frozen down after successful transfection/infection and thawed in culture to retain positive fluorescent expression beyond 24-48 hrs. Length and intensity of fluorescent expression varies between cell lines. Higher MOIs may be required for difficult-to-transfect cell lines.

Componentes

1. TagGFP2-LC3 Lentivirus: One vial containing 25 µL of lentiviral particles at a minimum of 3 x 10E8 infectious units (IFU) per mL. For lot-specific titer information, please see datasheet. • Virus Description: 3rd generation HIV-based VSV-G pseudotyped lentiviral particles. Lentiviral particles were generated using the pPACKH1 Lentivector Packaging System and purified by PEG precipitation. • Promoter: EF-1 (Elongation Factor-1). • Expression Marker Description: TagGFP2 (Evrogen) fused at its C-terminus with human LC3A (Accession # NP_115903) truncated to leave G120 (lipidation site) at the C-terminus. (Store at -80°C) 2. Autophagy Reagent A: One vial (lyophilized) (Store at 2-8°C) 3. 10x Enrichment Buffer (Part No. CS210552): One vial containing 1 mL (Store at 2-8°C) 4. 5x Assay Buffer: (Part No. CS210529): One bottle containing 3 mL (Store at 2-8°C)

Almacenamiento y estabilidad

Store TagGFP2-LC3 Lentivirus at -80°C. After first thaw, place immediately on ice and freeze in working aliquots at -80°C. Frozen aliquots may be stored for at least 2 months. Further freeze/thaws may result in decreased virus titer and transduction efficiency. Store Autophagy Reagent A, 10x Enrichment Buffer, and 5x Assay Buffer at 2-8°C. All components are stable for at least 4 months from date of receipt when stored as recommended above.
