Moreau PH, Cosquer B, Jeltsch H, Cassel JC, Mathis C (2008) Neuroanatomical and behavioral effects of a novel version of the cholinergic immunotoxin mu p75-saporin in mice. Hippocampus 18(6):610-622. doi: 10.1002/hipo.20422
Summary: 192-IgG-SAP (Cat. #IT-01) has been used for over a decade to examine the cholinergic system in the basal forebrain of rats. Establishing the same reagent for mice has been problematic. Here the authors describe the use of a mouse-specific lesioning agent, mu p75-SAP (Cat. #IT-16). After deciding on a dosage of 0.4 µg administered in the form of bilateral intracerebroventricular injections, mice were lesioned and tested. Lesioned animals displayed increased locomotor activity, and spatial learning and memory deficits, with minimal side effects.
