Advanced Targeting Systems has exclusively licensed the Substance P- Saporin (SP-SAP) compound to Cell Targeting Technologies for development as a pharmaceutical agent. ATS and collaborators at University of Minnesota and University of California, San Diego have completed several preclinical studies using SP-SAP and have thus far found it safe and effective in two animal models.

Advanced Targeting Systems announces a new reagent for the study of the serotonergic systems—a monoclonal antibody to the serotonin transporter (Cat. #AB-N09). This murine monoclonal is made with a peptide from an extracellular domain of rat serotonin re-uptake transporter (SERT), and thus is able to attach to cells that express SERT. Homology with the human
