PROTOCOL Frequently used on human and mouse brain sections for detecting pathologies in the endocytic-autophagic-lysosomal pathways such as changes in the numbers, types and distribution of vacuoles, and expression levels of individual molecules in the pathways. n
PROTOCOL Uptake of HRP into neuronal cells occurs via bulk endocytosis, especially at axonal terminals. Endocytosed HRP is transported in a retrograde direction and delivered into autophagic-lysosomal vacuoles in the cell body and, therefore, can serve as a marker
