For detailed protocol see Klionsky et al, 2012

To prevent turnover of autolysosomes, the terminal step of autolysosomal degradation can be blocked with Bafilomycin A1 treatment. Typically this is done for 1-2h by adding it at 100 nM just prior to induction of autophagy. This is a 1000X dilution of our 100 uM stock solution in DMSO.
