Targeting Tools: ME20.4 Monoclonal and Immunotoxin

The ME20.4 monoclonal antibody (Cat. #AB-N07) was derived from immunization of mice with WM245 melanoma cells. The antibody can be used in Western blot, immunoprecipitation, immunohistochemistry, FACS analysis, and electron microscopy. The known species reactivity includes human, primate, rabbit, raccoon, dog, cat, and sheep. The ME20.4-SAP immunotoxin (Cat. #IT-15) is a chemical conjugation between the …

Cover Article: CBF Lesioning in Rabbits

Contributed by Dr. Thomas Beach, Sun Health Research Institute, Sun City, AZ Our hypothesis, developed through our own human and animal studies1-6 and the cell culture work of others (beginning with Nitsch7), is that the normal, age-related loss of cortical cholinergic innervation leads to Aβ deposition and Alzheimer’s disease. To test this hypothesis, we have been …
