Studies on the Mechanisms of Autophagy
... The above results were further substantiated using monoclonal antibodies specific for two different lysosome integral membrane proteins, LIMP I (35-50 kD) and LIMP V (93 kD) (3, 36, 37). These proteins were localized to lysosomes including AVds and to a significant number of autophagic vacuoles limi ...
