Tandem mrfp gfp lc3 adenoviruses construct

Manufactured by Hanbio Biotechnology

The Tandem mRFP-GFP-LC3 adenoviruses construct is a tool used for the visualization and quantification of autophagy. It contains a fusion of mRFP (monomeric red fluorescent protein) and GFP (green fluorescent protein) tags linked to the autophagy marker protein LC3 (microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B-light chain 3). This construct allows for the real-time monitoring of autophagic flux in living cells.

Quantifying Autophagy Induction with mRFP-GFP-LC3

The tandem mRFP-GFP-LC3 adenoviruses construct was obtained from Hanbio Inc (Shanghai, China) and was used to evaluate autophagy induction. Briefly, 5 × 104 PLC/PRF/5 or HLE cells cultured on coverslips in 24- well microplates were transduced with mRFP-GFP-LC3 adenoviruses at 50 MOI. Two hours after transduction, removed the adenovirus by washing the cells with PBS, and then maintained the cells in complete culture medium with 40 μM ATRA or vehicle for 24 h. The cells were washed with PBS, fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, and viewed under a fluorescence microscope. The number of mRFP, GFP and GFP-mRFP (yellow) dots were determined by manual counting of fluorescent puncta in five fields from three different cells. The number of dots per cell was obtained by dividing the total number of dots by the number of cell in each microscopic field.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
