For the compound stimulation cells were grown in 6-well plates and treated as indicated (24 h) with chloroquine (Sigma-Aldrich, #C6628) or EDME. For Rab11-overexpression cells were transiently transfected with pEGFP-C1-Rab11-WT (Addgene, #12674) or pmaxGFP-plasmid (Lonza, #VCA-1001) using the Lipofectamine 3000 transfection reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific, #100022057) according to manufacturer’s instructions and incubated (48 h). For cathepsin B release cells were grown overnight, medium was exchanged to FCS-free medium, and treated with ionomycin (5 μM) (Sigma, #10634) for 10 min (95 (link)). Supernatant was concentrated using Merck Amicon centrifugal units (Thermo Fisher Scientific, #10341782).

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.
