New Secondary Conjugates – Fab-ZAPs – Use Monovalent Secondary Antibodies Linked to Saporin For the past decade scientists have extensively used secondary conjugates (e.g. Mab-ZAP; Cat. #IT-04, and Hum-ZAP; Cat. #IT-22) to make their own targeted toxins for in vitro use. The ability to combine: 1) a primary antibody to a cell-surface marker with 2) […]

Anti-6 His-SAP (Cat. #IT-52) Composed of an antibody to 6 His conjugated to saporin, this secondary conjugate should be used as a diagnostic tool for testing your primary, 6 His-tagged proteins for specific cell surface epitope binding and internalization. The 6 His tag is widely used because of its affinity to bind nickel or cobalt

Anti-GFP-SAP (Cat. #IT-53) The green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene can be introduced and maintained in the genome through breeding, injection with a viral vector, or cell transformation. Whether your cells express a surface protein with a GFP-coded region, or you have a protein that targets specific cells and contains a GFP tag, Anti-GFP-ZAP can be

Leptin-SAP (Cat. #IT-47) is a conjugate between recombinant mouse leptin and saporin. Leptin is a 16 kDa protein hormone that activates leptin receptors, and plays a key role in regulating energy intake and energy expenditure, including appetite and metabolism. Leptin inhibits the activity of neurons that contain neuropeptide Y (NPY) and agouti-related peptide (AgRP), and

Dinh and Sue Ritter Programs in Neuroscience, Washington State University, Pullman, Washington 99164-6520, USA Leptin is a fat tissue-derived hormone with widespread actions in brain and peripheral tissues. Leptin’s actions are mediated by the long isoform of the leptin receptor, OB-Rb, which has a lengthy intracellular region

Oxytocin-SAP (Cat. #IT-46) is a conjugate (molecular weight 31 kDa) between the native oxytocin peptide and saporin. Oxytocin is a nine amino acid peptide with a structure similar to vasopressin, and is a hormone released by the posterior pituitary. Peripheral activity of oxytocin is linked primarily to lactation and labor-related uterine contractions. Within the brain,

This mouse monoclonal antibody (Cat. #AB-42; Clone P2C2) recognizes human Basigin. The antibody is purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation on conditioned medium and then further purified through Protein-A. The antibody is routinely tested by flow cytometry. The immunoglobulin superfamily protein basigin (EMMPRIN/CD147) is a cell surface glycoprotein expressed by tumor cells that stimulates matrix metalloproteinase

Bombesin-SAP (Cat. #IT-40) specifically targets and eliminates gastrin- releasing peptide receptor (GRPR)-positive cells. This targeted toxin (molecular weight 31.8 kDa) is a chemical conjugate of bombesin and the ribosome-inactivating protein, saporin. Please see cover article (pp. 1, 6) for an example of its experimental use.
