Objective: To evaluate the cardiac electrophysiologic effects of targeted ablation of cardiac sympathetic neurons (TACSN) in a canine model of chronic myocardial infarction (MI).

Summary: Targeted ablation of cardiac sympathetic neuron attenuates sympathetic remodelling and improves ventricular electrical remodelling in the chronic phase of MI. These data suggest that TACSN may be a novel approach to treating ventricular arrhythmias.

Usage: 20 μl of CTB-SAP (1.2 mg/ml) was mixed with 4 μl of 3% Evans blue dye to make it visible (CTB-SAP is colorless), ensuring localization within the ganglia. The CTB-SAP/ Evan blue dye solution was slowly and intermittently injected into the left stellate ganglia using a glass micropipette.

Blood 132:3324. doi: 10.1182/blood-2018-99-119432

Objective: To further investigate and develop the utility of CD45-SAP and CD117-SAP, in combination with immunosuppression, in murine transplant models using i.v. administration in an allogeneic minor mismatch transplant model (Balb/c donor into DBA/2 recipients).

Summary: CD45-SAP or CD117-SAP in combination with immunosuppressants (30Fll and post-transplant Cytoxan) enabled >85% peripheral donor chimerism at 12 weeks post-transplantation. CD45-SAP and CD117-SAP were more effective at conditioning versus 2Gy TBI or pretransplant Cytoxan.

Usage: CD45-SAP (1.9 mg/kg, iv) and CD117-SAP (1mg/kg, iv) in an allogeneic minor mismatch transplant model (Balb/c donor into DBA/2 recipients).

Objective: To develop and validate a targeted ipRGC immunotoxin to ultimately examine the role of ipRGCs in macaque monkeys.

Summary: Findings demonstrated that Melanopsin-SAP was specific for ipRGCs, and induced a graded reduction in the PLR (pupillary light reflex), as well as in ipRGC-driven pupil response with concentration.

Usage: Solutions of 0.316, 1, 3.16, 10, and 50 μg delivered intravitreally.

Objective: To assess the immunological properties of human induced pluripotent stem cells derived neural crest cells (iPSC-NCCs)

Summary: Cultured human NCCs can fully suppress T cell activation in vitro and may be used in cell-based medicine.

Usage: IHC; 1:200 dilution

Objective: To test the hypothesis that distal cerebrospinal fluid-contacting nucleus (dCSF-CNs) might affect the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in kidney injury progression.

Summary: Less CTB-labeled neurons were found in dCSF-CNs of CTB-SAP-treated rats. Meanwhile, CTB-SAP downregulated AGT, Ang II, AT1R, NOX2, catalase, MCP-1, IL-6, fibronectin, and collagen I, and upregulated ACE2 and Mas receptor. Targeted dCSF-CNs ablation could alleviate renal inflammation and fibrosis in chronic kidney injury.

Usage: CTB-SAP (500 ng) into the lateral ventricles over a 3-min period.

ACS Chem Neurosci 9:2534-2541. doi: 10.1021/acschemneuro.8b00214 PMID: 29787674

Objective: Visualizing SERT behavior at the single molecule level in endogenous systems remains a challenge. The authors utilize quantum dot (QD) single particle tracking (SPT) to capture SERT dynamics in primary rat midbrain neurons.

Summary: Results provide new insights into endogenous neuronal SERT mobility and its associations with membrane cholesterol and SERT phosphorylation status.

Usage: Live Cell QD Tracking – Cells were incubated with 5 μg/mL primary SERT antibody in warm fluorescent media at 37 °C and 5% CO2 for 6 min.

Summary: The authors use 192-IgG-SAP (Cat. #IT-01) to examine episodic memory. Continual trials versions of an episodic memory task are unimpaired by cholinergic lesions of the medial septum. In contrast continual trial versions of a location-context (where-which) task are impaired in the same animals. The results replicate the effects of lesions on one-trial a day versions of the same tasks. Increasing the amount of interference between trials by increasing the overlap of features in consecutive events has no effect on the behavioural outcome of these lesions. The result is interpreted in light of models of acetylcholine function centered around pattern separation.
