Elimination of NPYR+ Neurons with NPY-Saporin : A Review of the Literature

Elimination of NPYR+ Neurons with NPY-Saporin : A Review of the Literature Patrick A. Shramm, Denise Higgins, Douglas A. Lappi • Advanced Targeting Systems, Carlsbad, CA Abstract Introduction: NPY-SAP is a conjugate of Neuropeptide Y and the ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) saporin. The idea behind the invention of NPY-SAP is to introduce it using the ligand’s […]

Targeted Toxins for Neuroscience

Targeted Toxins for Neuroscience Antibody Screening for Neuroscience There is a growing need for therapeutics for cancer, autoimmune diseases, blood diseases and Alzheimer’s disease. Due to their ability to bind to a specific target antigen, monoclonal antibodies are increasingly being screened for therapeutic drug development. In May 2021, the FDA approved the 100th monoclonal antibody

A Brief History of Saporin and its Contributions to Neuroscience

ABSTRACT When investigating the origins of targeted toxins (a drug, therapy, or scientific tool directed to unique extracellular target), an appropriate place to begin is with the Nobel Prize-winning work of Paul Ehrlich and his concept of the “magic bullet.” Over 100 years later, the use of targeted toxins to perform molecular neurosurgery has become

Cover Article: Deletion of NPY/AGRP and POMC Neurons in the Arcuate Nucleus by Leptin-Saporin Produces Hyperphagia, Obesity and Changes in Diurnal Feeding Patterns in Rats

Contributed by Ai-Jun Li, Qing Wang, Thu T. Dinh and Sue Ritter Programs in Neuroscience, Washington State University, Pullman, Washington 99164-6520, USA Leptin is a fat tissue-derived hormone with widespread actions in brain and peripheral tissues. Leptin’s actions are mediated by the long isoform of the leptin receptor, OB-Rb, which has a lengthy intracellular region

Cover Article: Partial basal forebrain cholinergic depletion leaves working memory susceptible to the effects of systemic inflammation

Contributed by Dr. Colm Cunningham, Trinity College, Institute of Neuroscience & School of Biochemistry and Immunology, Dublin, Ireland It is well established that peripheral inflammation can signal the intact CNS to bring about adaptive changes in behavior during the sickness response. However, during aging and dementia, the brain is particularly susceptible to the deleterious effects
