Background: LC3B
Autophagic flux is supported by autophagy-related proteins (Atgs) initially identified in yeast (6,7). The core autophagy machinery is comprised of 17 Atg proteins that play specific roles in autophagosome formation. Among these Atg proteins, Atg8 is not only involved in autophagosome formation but also functions in cargo selection. In mammals, several Atg8 homologues have been identified including microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 alpha, beta and gamma - LC3A, LC3B, and LC3C (8) respectively, as well as GABA type A receptor-associated protein (GABARAP), GABARAP-Like1, and GABARAP-Like2 (9). LC3 (predicted molecular weight 14kD) is ubiquitously expressed and undergoes posttranslational processing after synthesis. First, the cysteine protease Atg4 cleaves a carboxy terminal sequence to generate the cytosolic form LC3-I. Next, E1-like (Atg7) and E2-like (Atg3) enzymes conjugate phosphatidylethanolamine to the newly exposed carboxyterminal glycine, generating LC3-II. Finally, the Atg12-Atg5-Atg16L1 complex participates in LC3 lipidation and autophagosome formation (10). LC3B-I to LC3B-II conversion correlates with autophagosome number and is considered the best marker to monitor autophagy.

1X Transfer buffer (wet): 25 mM Tris-base, 192 mM glycine, 20% methanol, Adjust to pH 8.3
TBS
TBST, TBS and 0.1% Tween
Blocking solution: TBST, 5% non-fat dry milk
rabbit anti-LC3B primary antibody (NB100-2220) in blocking buffer (~2 ug/mL)
Methods
Tip: For more information on Western Blotting, see our Western Blot handbook.
1. Grow cells (e.g. HeLa or Neuro2A) in vitro to semi-confluency (70-75%).
2. Add CQ to culture dishes to a final concentration of 50 uM and incubate overnight (16 hours). Remember to include an untreated sample as a negative control.
Note: Validated autophagy inducers should be included as positive controls.
3. Rinse cells with ice-cold 1X PBS and lyse cells with sample buffer.
Note: LC3B-I and LC3B-II are sensitive to degradation, although LC3B-I is more labile. These proteins are sensitive to freeze-thaw cycles and SDS sample buffers. Fresh samples should be analyzed quickly to prevent protein degradation.
4. Sonicate and incubate cells for 5 minutes at 95oC.
Tip: Cells are lysed directly in sample buffer or may be lysed in RIPA buffer.
5. Load samples of Chloroquine-treated and -untreated cell lysates 40 ug/lane on a 4-20% polyacrylamide gradient gel (SDS-PAGE).
Tip: For detection of LC3B it is particularly important to monitor the progress of the gel as this protein is relatively small (~14kDa).
Tip: Alternatively, for non-gradient gels, use a 20% polyacrylamide gel.
6. Transfer proteins to a 0.2 um PVDF membrane for 30 minutes at 100V.
7. After transfer, rinse the membrane with dH2O and stain with Ponceau S for 1-2 minutes to confirm efficiency of protein transfer.
8. Rinse the membrane in dH2O to remove excess stain and mark the loaded lanes and molecular weight markers using a pencil.
9. Block the membrane using blocking buffer solution (5% non-fat dry milk in TBST) for 1 hour at room temperature.
10.Rinse the membrane with TBST for 5 minutes.
11.Dilute the rabbit anti-LC3B primary antibody (NB100-2220) (~2 ug/mL) in blocking buffer and incubate the membrane for 1 hour at room temperature.
12.Rinse the membrane with dH2O.
13.Rinse the membrane with TBST, 3 times for 10 minutes each.
14.Incubate the membrane with diluted secondary antibody, according with product's specifications, (e.g. anti-rabbit-IgG HRP-conjugated) in blocking buffer for 1 hour at room temperature.
Note: Tween-20 may be added to the blocking or antibody dilution buffer at a final concentration of 0.05-0.2%, provided it does not interfere with antibody-antigen binding.
15.Rinse the membrane with TBST, 3 times for 10 minutes each.
16.Apply the detection reagent of choice (e.g. BioFX Super Plus ECL) in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
17.Image the blot.
Tip: LC3B-I and it's lipidated form LC3B-II have different electrophoretic mobility properties, with the lipidated form moving faster in an SDS-PAGE gel, albeit its larger molecular weight. LC3B-II runs at 14-16 kDa while LC3B-I runs at 16-18kDa.
Note: This assay measures the difference in the LC3B-II signal in the presence and absence of inhibitors (e.g., lysosomotropic agents). When autophagic flux is present or induced in a system an increase in the LC3B-II signal should be observed with the inhibitor.

A: We recommend secondary antibody NB7160 for use with LC3B Antibody (NB100-2220).
-
Q: Can you recommend a positive control (like a recombinant LC3 purified protein) for LC3B antibody NB100-2220? I am using the antibody on a western blot of mouse tissue.
A: We recommend NBP1-45308 which is a full length protein that can be used for WB with NB100-2220. -
A: This antibody was raised using a synthetic peptide made to an N-terminal portion of the human LC3 protein sequence as immunogen and is expected to detect LC3B protein. The immunogenic sequence employed does not have any similarity to LC3A or LC3C and hence we do not expect any cross-reactivity. This product is one of our best sellers with great customer reviews, as well as with citations in at least 160 peer reviewed publications.
-
A: No; this antibody is specific for LC3B and is not expected to cross-react with LC3A or LC3C.
-
Q: Hello, somewhere on the LC3B antibody page I read it is recommended to use a 0.2uM membrane for western blot?
A: Yes, because LC3B-I is about 14-15 kDa and LC3B-II is even even smaller, the protein may slip through the 0.45 uM membrane and be lost during blotting. However, there has been success using 0.45 uM membranes; a 0.2 uM membrane is something to consider if no signal is detected. -
Q: Hello,I already have the antibody, but I was wondering if you could tell me the percent identity to a specific zebrafish LC3 protein. I know it says it works in zebrafish, but we have three and the one I am interested in is the one expressed maternally--- F1QKC7. Here is the Alignment to the human protein your antibody was made. Would you just look at it quick and tell me if the 10 aa peptide is one that is highly similar (like for example aa's 66-71). http://www.uniprot.org/align/2013102541KABHU792. LC3 Antibody (NB100-2220) It is very closely related to my maternal expressed protein. I was just wanting to confirm that it is the right thing and not background staining that I am seeing.
A: Based on the actual immunogen sequence, I am only seeing a 31% homology to the zebrafish sequence you have provided. While the homology is low, there is still a possibility that the antibody could recognize the zebrafish protein. Just for your information, the zebrafish sequence we used for validation was accession number Q7ZUD8. I can offer a few suggestions to verify specific staining in your samples: If it is possible, I would verify by western blot with your tissue. If you can validate by two applications, the staining seen is most likely specific. With the staining, I would run a secondary only or isotype control to ensure that any background staining is not coming from the secondary antibody or other interaction. If you do have access to a knock-down or knock-out, this would be the most ideal way to verify specific staining. -
A: Of course. It is immunogen affinity purified. The immunogen is A synthetic peptide made to an N-terminal portion of the human LC3 protein sequence (between residues 1-100)
-
A: NB100-2220 is an anti-LC3 Ab. It is similar to NBP1-48614, however they are different Abs. NB100-2220 is specific for only LC3B where as NBP1-48614 is specific for only LC3A I would recommend NB100-2220 if you would like to detect LC3B as it has been in 48 published papers and it has very good reviews. NB100-2220 does detect both LCI and LCII.
-
Q: We just bought the LC3 antibody (NB100-2220) from your company, and this product arrived at our lab today. Unfortunately, I just found that the label on the antibody vial showed "pAB LC3 antibody", so we are confused with the "p", what does "P"mean, usually it means"phosphorylated". So, I am wondering what does "p" mean, as the phosphorylated antibody is not we wanted. BTW, the datasheet of this product never mentioned the "phosphorylated"
A: I am sorry for any confusion. "pAB" stands for polyclonal antibody. Our NB100-2220 is not phosphorylated. -
A: The conditions we have had the most success with are 5% milk + 1% BSA as the block. Our lab also recommends doing an overnight incubation as this is how we run our QC tests in the lab at 4 degrees C.
-
A: LC3-I is cytoplasmic, whereas LC3-II binds to the autophagic membranes.
-
A: This is a polyclonal antibody from rabbit. The isotype of this antibody, and all rabbit antibodies, will be IgG.
-
Q: What is the utility of a blocking peptide? Can you recommend a blocking peptide for this LC3B antibody NB100-2220?
A: If you are interested in using a blocking peptide for this antibody, we recommend NB100-2220PEP.NB100-2220PEP is essentially the exact immunogen of our NB100-2220 antibody and you may use it to perform a blocking experiment to show the specificity of this antibody.Blocking experiments show that the band that seen and blocked upon treating the antibody with blocking peptide is the specific band detected by the antibody NB100-2220. -
Q: What proteins are recognized by this antibody? On the datasheet, the Specificity section states 'This antibody is specific for LC3B.' However, in the Gene Symbol is listed as MAP1LC3A and the protein sequence Q9H492 is for MAP1LC3A. Can you tell me which target the antibody recognizes?
A: This antibody was designed to detect both LC3I and LC3II, but we have experienced through our testing that it much more routinely picks up LC3B. It will sometimes pick up both bands, but it depends on how the cells are prepared often times if they are induced to express that second LC3A band, which is why we have it named as LC3B. We have other LC3 antibodies that do pick up both bands regularly. -
Q: Why are there two bands present when I use LC3B antibody NB100-2220 for a western blot of LC3B?
A: LC3 is a soluble protein with a molecular mass of ∼17 kDa and is distributed ubiquitously in eukaryotes. It is expressed as the splice variants LC3A, LC3B, and LC3C. All LC3 isoforms undergo post-translational modifications, especially PE conjugation (lipidation) during autophagy. Upon autophagic signal, the cytosolic form of LC3 (LC3-I) is conjugated to PE to form LC3-PE conjugate (LC3-II), which is recruited to the autophagosomal membranes.
