Mitophagy experiments
8h
To induce mitophagy, treat cells with 10 micromolar (µM) Oligomycin and 4 micromolar (µM) Antimycin A.
In case cells are treated for more than 08:00:00 , add 10 micromolar (µM) Q-VD-OPh to suppress apoptosis.
8h
Analyze the samples by SDS-PAGE and western blot or flow cytometry.
