Targeted Ablation of Distal Cerebrospinal Fluid-Contacting Nucleus Alleviates Renal Fibrosis in Chronic Kidney Disease. Qiu M, Li J, Tan L, Zhang M, Zhou G, Zeng T, Li A. Front Physiol. https://doi.org/10.3389/fphys.2018.01640 CTB-SAP (Cat. #KIT-14) CTB-SAP causes ablation of any cell type expressing GM1, including preganglionic neurons, motoneurons, and astrocytes. Intrathecal injection of CTB-SAP results in […]
Two more publications this week using an ATS exclusive antibody: NGFR (mu p75) Antibody (Cat. #AB-N38) Nicotinamide Mononucleotide Adenylyltransferase 2 maintains neuronal structural integrity through the maintenance of Golgi structure. Pottorf T, Mann A, Fross S, Mansel C, & Vohra BPS. (2018). Neurochem Intl Objective: investigated the link between NMNAT2 loss, Golgi fragmentation and axon […]
Two publications out this week using ATS antibodies: Anti-Melanopsin (Cat. #AB-N38) and Anti-Metabotrophic Glutamate Receptor 2 (mGluR2; Cat. #AB-N32) Sabbah S et al. Synaptic circuits for irradiance coding by intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells. (2018) bioRxiv doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/442954 Objective: To explore the synaptic networks responsible for the unique capacity of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) to […]
Conservation of Oncofetal Antigens on Human Embryonic Stem Cells Enables Discovery of Monoclonal Antibodies against Cancer. Tan HL, Yong C, Tan BZ, Fong WJ, Padmanabhan J, Chin A, Ding V, Lau A, Zheng L, Bi X, Yang Y, & Choo A. (2018). Scientific Reports, 8 (1):11608. This study used both Hum-ZAP (Cat. #IT-22) and Streptavidin-ZAP (Cat. #IT-27) […]
Screening Aptamers as Targeting Agents to deliver Payloads. Aptamers are small, synthetic, single-stranded nucleic acids that fold into unique secondary structures. Unlike peptides and monoclonal antibodies, they are essentially non-immunogenic even when administered in excess amounts. The publications below explain how biotinylated aptamers combined with Streptavidin-conjugated saporin (Streptavidin-ZAP) can be used to screen aptamers for […]
Friday afternoon, Advanced Targeting Systems employees and friends volunteered at Feeding San Diego and helped reclaim over 1200 pounds of food to feed the hungry. It was a great time of teamwork and giving back to the community. @AdvTargeting
The ATS scientific staff is dedicated to providing quality targeting tools and prompt, courteous support for all of our research products. L to R: Leonardo, Raschel, Sydney, Patrick, Miguel.
Antibodies you can rely on. The authors investigated the interactions of pro-survival and pro-apoptotic receptors in Programmed Cell Death (PCD) using the sympathetic nervous system as a model. They demonstrate that Ret, a receptor tyrosine kinase required for the survival of many neuronal populations, is restricted to a subset of degenerating neurons that rapidly undergo […]
Selective ablation of striatal striosomes produces the deregulation of dopamine nigrostriatal pathway. Objective: To increase knowledge in the role of the striosomal projection onto the dopamine neurons of the SNc and its impact on the nigrostriatal dopamine pathway. Summary: Results highlight the key function of the striosomes for maintenance of the striatal dopamine tone and […]
