SP-CTA (Cat. #IT-39) is an exciting new tool for use in the research of neurokinin (NK-1) receptor-expressing cells of the central nervous system. A conjugate of the substance P molecule and the catalytic subunit of Cholera toxin, this product can be used very effectively in vivo for increasing sensitization of these neuronal cells. Selectively targeting […]

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

What is the claustrum? The simple answer is that it’s a brain structure that lies under the insular and piriform cortices. What it does is rather unclear, but one hypothesis has drawn considerable attention. The claustrum contains projections to the entire cortex, and this may indicate that it plays an important role in brain function. 

Anti-CD22 (UV22-2) Mouse Monoclonal This IgG1k antibody (Cat. #AB-36) recognizes the group A epitope of the human B-cell antigen, CD22. Clone UV22-2 reacts exclusively with cells of human B-cell lineage. The fluorescent conjugate mouse IgG-FITC (Cat. #FL-07) is available as a research tool to use with this and other mouse monoclonal antibodies. Anti-CD22-SAP Immunotoxin This

In the January 26 issue of Science there was an article by Naqvi et al. about patients with brain damage to the insula losing their desire to smoke. A podcast interview with Dr. Bechara, one of the authors of the study, ended with him stating that there are a number of known receptors in the brain that should be

Goat-ZAP (Cat. #IT-36) is a new secondary conjugate of affinity-purified rabbit anti-goat IgG and the ribosome-inactivating protein, saporin. This product uses affinity-purified rabbit anti-goat IgG to “piggyback” onto YOUR primary goat antibody in order to evaluate the ability of your primary antibody to internalize. Once the conjugate is internalized, saporin breaks away from the targeting

ATS has added three new products to our fluorescent conjugates line. Alexa488-labeled affinity purified NGFr* (Cat. #AB-N01APFLA) FITC-labeled Goat Anti-Rat IgG (Cat. #FL-10) FITC-labeled Donkey Anti-Goat IgG (Cat. #FL-11) *(Cat. #AB-N01AP) These conjugates are excellent tools to verify specific binding to an antigen. By first incubating cells with the primary antibody, and then binding the

Anti-Conjugated Glutathione, Cat. #AB-T01 Glutathione is a small protein composed of three amino acids: cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine. The primary biological function of glutathione is to act as a non-enzymatic reducing agent. Glutathione is also involved in detoxification. Anti-Conjugated Glutathione targets conjugated glutathione which is created by fixation in glutaraldehyde. Applications include ELISA and

Anti-Conjugated Acetylcholine, Cat. #AB-T02 Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter found in both the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and central nervous system (CNS) in many organisms including humans. Anti-Conjugated Acetylcholine targets conjugated choline-glutaric acid which is created by fixation in glutaraldehyde. Applications include ELISA and immunohistochemistry.
