CTB-SAP (Cat. #IT-14) is a conjugate between the cell-binding component of cholera toxin (the B chain) and saporin. CTB binds to GM1 (monosialotetrahexosylganglioside), which is present on the surface of different neurons. It has been suggested to be involved in many problems (besides the most famous in the gut: cholera) of neuronal systems: Parkinson’s, motor

Targeting in mouse: mu p75-SAP (Cat. #IT-16) To create this targeted toxin, we affinity-purified the rabbit polyclonal with the immunogen bound to a solid support, and conjugated the affinity-purified antibody (Cat. #AB-N01AP) to saporin. As can be seen in the cytotoxicity assay below, mu p75-SAP has an EC50 in the picomolar range. This greater potency

Anti-GFP-SAP (Cat. #IT-53) The green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene can be introduced and maintained in the genome through breeding, injection with a viral vector, or cell transformation. Whether your cells express a surface protein with a GFP-coded region, or you have a protein that targets specific cells and contains a GFP tag, Anti-GFP-ZAP can be

Anti-6 His-SAP (Cat. #IT-52) Composed of an antibody to 6 His conjugated to saporin, this secondary conjugate should be used as a diagnostic tool for testing your primary, 6 His-tagged proteins for specific cell surface epitope binding and internalization. The 6 His tag is widely used because of its affinity to bind nickel or cobalt

New Secondary Conjugates – Fab-ZAPs – Use Monovalent Secondary Antibodies Linked to Saporin For the past decade scientists have extensively used secondary conjugates (e.g. Mab-ZAP; Cat. #IT-04, and Hum-ZAP; Cat. #IT-22) to make their own targeted toxins for in vitro use. The ability to combine: 1) a primary antibody to a cell-surface marker with 2)

Leptin-SAP (Cat. #IT-47) is a conjugate between recombinant mouse leptin and saporin. Leptin is a 16 kDa protein hormone that activates leptin receptors, and plays a key role in regulating energy intake and energy expenditure, including appetite and metabolism. Leptin inhibits the activity of neurons that contain neuropeptide Y (NPY) and agouti-related peptide (AgRP), and
