CYTO-ID® Autophagy detection kit

Protocol tips

Upstream tips	Protocol tips	Downstream tips
This kit uses a green fluorescent probe that reacts with autophagic vacuoles and is detectable by flow cytometry	- 2 µL of CYTO-ID® Green Detection Reagent and 1 µL of Hoechst 33342 Nuclear Stain for every 1 mL of 1X Assay Buffer or complete cell growth medium	Incase of Low CYTO-ID Green dye staining in all treatments, increase the reagent concentration (500X dilution of the dye is recommended) and the incubation time. Incase of High CYTO-ID Green staining, it could be that the cell culture medium was depleted of nutrients and so change media 4-8 hours before the experiment.

Publication protocol

Both control and GMs macrophages were cultured in chamber slides. After the different treatments, cells were washed twice with 1X assay buffer and stained using a Cyto‐ID Autophagy Detection Kit (Enzo life science, Farmingdale, NY, USA), according to the manufacturer's instructions. Cells were imaged by confocal microscopy using a 40X oil DIC objective.
