Decrease in membrane phospholipid unsaturation induces unfolded protein response.

Ariyama H, Kono N, Matsuda S, Inoue T, Arai H (2010) Decrease in membrane phospholipid unsaturation induces unfolded protein response. J Biol Chem 285(29):22027-22035. doi: 10.1074/jbc.M110.126870 PMID: 20489212 Summary: Properties of the cell membrane can be influenced by the degree of fatty acid unsaturation in membrane phospholipids. Alteration of this unsaturation has been implicated in […]

Targeting Tools: Targeting NGF Receptor-Positive Neurons

Targeting in mouse: mu p75-SAP (Cat. #IT-16) To create this targeted toxin, we affinity-purified the rabbit polyclonal with the immunogen bound to a solid support, and conjugated the affinity-purified antibody (Cat. #AB-N01AP) to saporin. As can be seen in the cytotoxicity assay below, mu p75-SAP has an EC50 in the picomolar range. This greater potency

Targeting Tools: CTB-SAP

CTB-SAP (Cat. #IT-14) is a conjugate between the cell-binding component of cholera toxin (the B chain) and saporin. CTB binds to GM1 (monosialotetrahexosylganglioside), which is present on the surface of different neurons. It has been suggested to be involved in many problems (besides the most famous in the gut: cholera) of neuronal systems: Parkinson’s, motor

Targeting Article: Poster at American Association for Cancer Research Meeting

At this year’s AACR meeting, Leonardo Ancheta, scientist and Product Manager from ATS, presented a poster on our new monoclonal antibody to Basigin-2 (Cat. #AB-42). The poster describes our work with the antibody and the immunotoxin made from it (Cat. #IT-54). Basigin-2 (EMMPRIN, CD147) is widely expressed on the surface of numerous tumor types and

Cover Article: Role of Cell Fate Determinants in a Model of Spinal Cord Neurotoxic Lesion Induced by Cholera Toxin B-Saporin

Contributed by Rosario Gulino, Vincenzo Perciavalle and Massimo Gulisan Dept of Physiological Sciences, Univ of Catania, Viale Andrea Doria, 6-I95125 Catania ITALY A promising approach for central nervous system (CNS) repair consists in the activation of endogenous neural precursor cells (NPCs), but this process is less efficient in the spinal cord (SC) following a spinal
