ab155686 staining SQSTM1/p62 (autophagosome) in control HeLa cells treated with ethanol 0.1%  (left panels) and SQSTM1/p62 in HeLa cells treated with 1uM bafilomycin A1 (ab120497) for 18hrs (right panels). The cells were fixed with methanol (5min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated with ab155686 at 1/500 dilution and ab7291 (Tubulin) at 1/1000 dilution overnight at +4°C, followed by a further incubation at room temperature for 1h with a goat secondary antibody to rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150081) at 2 μg/ml (shown in green) and a goat secondary antibody to mouse IgG (Alexa Fluor® 594) (ab150120) at 2 μg/ml (shown in pseudo color red).  Nuclear DNA was labelled in blue with DAPI.

Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).
