Targeting Tools: Anti-Tac (CD25)-SAP

Advanced Targeting Systems has introduced important new toxins for investigation into cells that express the interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor and especially the workings of the immune system. Anti-CD25-saporin (Anti-Tac-SAP) conjugates are directed to the human IL-2 receptor or to the mouse IL-2 receptor. This marker for activated T lymphocytes allows removal of this important group of

Streptavidin versus Avidin

Q: I recently tried to order avidinylated-SAP (Cat. #IT-09) and was told that this product has been replaced with a new product, Streptavidin-ZAP (Cat. #IT-27). Why did you replace avidinylated-SAP? A: We initially had good results with avidinylated-SAP. It combined well with biotinylated antibody to produce extremely potent cytotoxic materials, and had low toxicity itself.

Cover Article: 192 IgG-Saporin-Induced Lesions Identify an Inhibitory Role in Cocaine Reward for Cholinergic Neuronal Systems in the Diagonal Band and Ventral Pallidum

Contributed by Dr. James Smith, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, Medical Center Blvd, Winston-Salem NC 27157 Recent data implicate cholinergic neurons in the brain processes that underlie reinforcement. The involvement of cholinergic neurons in cocaine self-administration has been recently demonstrated using muscarinic and nicotinic agonists and antagonists, microdialysis, assessment
