Consequences of the ablation of nonpeptidergic afferents in an animal model of trigeminal neuropathic pain.

Taylor AM, Osikowicz M, Ribeiro-da-Silva A (2012) Consequences of the ablation of nonpeptidergic afferents in an animal model of trigeminal neuropathic pain. Pain 153(6):1311-1319. doi: 10.1016/j.pain.2012.03.023 Summary: The authors used IB4-SAP (Cat. #IT-10; 3.2 μg injected into the mental nerve) to eliminate C-fibers in the lower lip of rats to see if this was enough

Intrinsic voltage dynamics govern the diversity of spontaneous firing profiles in basal forebrain noncholinergic neurons.

Ovsepian SV, Dolly JO, Zaborszky L (2012) Intrinsic voltage dynamics govern the diversity of spontaneous firing profiles in basal forebrain noncholinergic neurons. J Neurophysiol 108(2):406-418. doi: 10.1152/jn.00642.2011 PMID: 22496531 Summary: The voltage modulation functions of the basal forebrain have commonly been associated with cholinergic cells. More recent work has suggested that noncholinergic cells have an

Targeting Tools: Anti-RFP

Red fluorescent protein (RFP) is derived from Discosoma sea anemone. This antibody (Anti-RFP, Cat. #AB-332) recognizes native and denatured forms of RFP. The antigen for this antibody is present in all of these fluorescent molecules: RFP, tag-RFP, turbo-RFP, DeRed, mCherry, and mOrange. The epitope for the antibody is part of the RFP N-terminal sequence. RFP

Targeting Tools: NK3-SAP

An analog of the Neurokinin B peptide, [MePhe7]-NKB, is a selective agonist of the NK3 receptor. Conjugation of [MePhe7]-NKB to saporin (NK3-SAP) allows for the specific elimination of a subpopulation of neurons expressing kisspeptin, neurokinin B, and dynorphin (KNDy neurons) through their co-expression of the NK3 receptor. Although NK3 receptor expressing neurons reside in several

Targeting Tools: Chick-ZAP

Chick-ZAP is the most recent in our line of Secondary Conjugates. It is a chemical conjugate of affinity-purified rabbit anti-chicken IgY and the ribosome-inactivating protein, saporin. The conjugate will target and eliminate cells that recognize your primary antibody. This reagent can be utilized for screening chicken IgY antibodies for internalization and/or their suitability to make

Reducing Agent in Media

Q:  We will be using your chick-ZAP secondary conjugate (Cat. #IT-62) and noticed that in your protocol you mention not to use a reducing agent in your media. Our normal growth media contains beta mercaptoethanol at 100 μM. Will this be a problem? A: Officially, we would recommend allowing the cells to acclimate to media
