Zhang L, Hadley GA (2010) Application of anti-CD103 immunotoxin for saving islet allograft in context of transplantation. Chin Med J (Engl) 123(24):3644-51. Summary: This work investigates whether depletion of CD103-positive cells protects transplanted islets from host-immune cell attack. Diabetes was induced in mice, followed by an islet transplant. Anti-CD103-SAP (Cat. #IT-50) was administered via i.p.

Biochim Biophys Acta 1813(1):39-49. doi: 10.1016/j.bbamcr.2010.11.013 Summary: Tumor endothelial marker 8 (TEM8) is a cell surface protein that is up-regulated on
Cerminara NL (2010) Cerebellar modules: individual or composite entities?. J Neurosci 30(48):16065-16067. doi: 10.1523/JNEUROSCI.4823-10.2010 Summary: This short review discusses the compartmentalization of cerebellar modules. Much research has been done to associate particular motor control functions with particular modules. Chemical lesioning is an inadequate technique because the lesion is non-specific. The use of CTB-SAP (Cat. #IT-14)
