ABP colocalises with LC3 in primary Sertoli cells.

(A), Rat primary Sertoli cells were treated with CQ (50 uM) or rapamycin (10 nM) for 24 h (n = 3), or treated with ATG7 or MTOR siRNA for 48 h (n = 3), ABP mRNA was determined by qPCR. (B–C), Cells were treated with CQ or rapamycin for 24 h and ABP and LC3 were assessed with double immunofluorescence (B). The average number of colocalisations per cell was calculated from 10 random fields (approximately 200 cells) (C) (n = 3, **p < 0.01).
