BNIP3 is a protein that plays a role in the process of autophagy, which is the degradation and recycling of cellular components. It is involved in the formation of autophagosomes, which are the structures that engulf and deliver cellular material to the lysosome for degradation. BNIP3 is an important regulator of this cellular process.

Cells were first fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 30 min at room temperature. After incubation with 3% hydrogen peroxide for 10 min to block endogenous peroxidase activity, the samples were treated with the primary antibodies at 4 °C overnight. After the slides were washed with PBS and then incubated with secondary antibody (1:500, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) at room temperature for 45 min. Nuclei were stained using DAPI. Images were observed with fluorescence microscopy (Olympus BX-61).

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.
