Species Reactivity: Human, Rat, Mouse, Rabbit Anti-AChR (Cat. #AB-N36) binds with high affinity to the AChR subtype with 59 kDa ACh-binding subunits, but with considerably lower affinity to the AChR subtype with 75 kDa subunits. Anti-AChR binds to the main immunogenic region on α1 subunits of muscle-type AChRs. Reference 1. Schoepfer R, Halvorsen SW, Conroy […]

FGF-2, or basic fibroblast growth factor, binds all of the FGF receptors with high affinity. We have used this molecule to produce FGF-SAP (Cat. #IT-38), which has a healthy experimental publication record (“FGF” and “saporin” in PubMed: 25 hits). It has been used to clean primary cultures of fibroblasts.[1] It was important in determining the

Q: I have a question about what solutions might be incompatible with the conjugated saporins. We have done an experiment where we injected a mixture of saporin conjugate (same batch we’ve used in previous studies here) and a cocktail of 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine and 6-hydroxydopamine (in 0.1% ascorbic acid) to try to deplete multiple neurotransmitters. The way
Q: I’m using your secondary conjugate Mab-ZAP (Cat. #IT-04) and it’s not killing my cells. I’m not following the protocol on the data sheet. I’m doing flow cytometry. I have 70,000 cells per well. I mix Mab-ZAP with my primary antibody and add it. When I count the cells, there is no decrease. My cells grow
